TuckMark Help

TuckMark is a bookmark manager and read-later app for your Mac, iPhone, and iPad. You file the links you want to keep into collections and tags, tuck away the articles you want to read later, and find them again with full-text search. Your library lives on your device, and if you want it, it syncs privately through your own iCloud.

Getting started

TuckMark opens straight into your library. The sidebar holds your smart lists, your collections, your tags, and Reading; the main area shows your bookmarks as a list or a Safari-style icon grid, whichever you prefer. Add your first bookmark with the + button, paste a link, and TuckMark fills in the title, description, and favicon for you.

Saving links

In the app: Add a bookmark by hand, or use Save for Later. On Mac it prefills from a link on your clipboard; on iPhone and iPad, tap Paste Link to fill it in.
Share sheet: From any app, hit Share and pick TuckMark to save the page. You choose whether it goes to your bookmarks or your reading list.
Safari extension: TuckMark bundles a Safari web extension on both Mac and iPhone, so saving the page you are looking at is one tap from the toolbar.

Bookmarks

As your library grows, a few tools keep it in shape.

Collections: Renamable groups for filing bookmarks. Drag and drop links onto a collection in the sidebar to file them.
Tags: One shared tag namespace with colors, used across bookmarks and reading. Tags are browsable from the sidebar, and searching matches tag names too.
Favorites & notes: Star the links you reach for most, and jot a private note on any bookmark.
Titles, descriptions & favicons: Fetched automatically when you save, and always editable. You can override any favicon with a custom image.
Views & sorting: Switch between a list and a Safari-style icon grid, and sort by date added, title, or most opened. A Frequently Visited smart list surfaces the links you open the most.
Search: Full-text search covers titles, descriptions, notes, and tag names, so a few letters is usually enough to find what you saved.

Reading

Reading is TuckMark's read-later list. Save a link there from the app, the share sheet, or the Safari extension, and TuckMark extracts the full article text and stores it on your device, so it is there even when you are offline.

The reader: A clean article view that follows your system theme and Dynamic Type size, with a reading-time estimate up top.
Highlights: Select text to highlight it. Highlights sync with the article, and a Highlighted smart list gathers every article you have marked up.
Read, unread & starred: Articles track their read state, you can star the best ones, and a Frequently Read smart list keeps the ones you return to close at hand.
Copy as text: Copy any saved article as Markdown, HTML, or plain text to use it elsewhere.

Tip: Every saved article has a tuckmark:// deeplink, handy for launchers, notes apps, and automations.

Dashboard

The Dashboard is a start page you arrange yourself. Pin the bookmarks you use often, add tiles for whole collections, and group things into folders that nest, each showing a Safari-style 3×3 preview of what is inside and opening with an iOS-style zoom. Drag to arrange the tiles, and if you like, make the Dashboard the first thing you see when the app opens.

Importing your bookmarks

Moving over from a browser? Export your bookmarks from Safari, Chrome, Firefox, or Edge as an HTML file, then import it into TuckMark. Folders become collections and any tags in the export are preserved. The file is read right on your device, and nothing is uploaded anywhere.

Recently Deleted

Deleted bookmarks and articles go to Recently Deleted instead of vanishing. The trash syncs, so you can restore something from any of your devices. Items are kept for a retention period you choose, from 1 to 90 days, and you can empty the trash in one step with the Empty button.

iCloud sync

Sync is opt-in. TuckMark stays local until you turn iCloud Sync on, and once you do, your library keeps itself in step across your devices signed in to the same iCloud account.

Turn it on or off: When sync is off, TuckMark stays local and sends nothing to iCloud. Turn it back on and it picks up where it left off.
What syncs: Your bookmarks, collections, tags, saved articles, highlights, Dashboard layout, preferences, and trash. Each synced field, including page text and images, is end-to-end encrypted, which means only your devices can read it.
Usage counters: Open counts and other usage stats are kept per device and merged without conflicts, so Frequently Visited stays honest across devices.

Sync needs you to be signed in to iCloud on the device. If you are not, TuckMark will tell you, and it will start syncing on its own once you sign in.

Privacy

Your library stays on your device. TuckMark does not collect analytics, does not track you, has no accounts, and does not send your library to its developer or to a third-party server. When it fetches a page's title, favicon, or article text, the request goes directly from your device to the site you saved. Optional sync uses your own private iCloud, end-to-end encrypted.

Full details are in the Privacy Policy.

FAQ

Do I need an account?: No. There is nothing to sign up for. Sync, if you want it, runs through the iCloud account already on your device.
Is sync on by default?: No. TuckMark is local-only until you opt in to iCloud Sync, and you can turn it off again at any time.
Can I read saved articles offline?: Yes. The full article text is extracted when you save it and stored on your device, so airplane mode is no obstacle.
What happens when I delete something?: It moves to Recently Deleted, where it is kept for the retention period you chose (1 to 90 days) and can be restored from any synced device.
Which browsers can I import from?: Safari, Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, using each browser's standard bookmark export. Folders become collections and tags are preserved.
Is it one app or three?: One native SwiftUI app for macOS 26 and iOS/iPadOS 26, with the share sheet and Safari extension on both platforms.
