What is Bort and what does it do?

Updated

Bort is a web app for bookmarks. It gives you a single place to save and manage bookmarks instead of relying only on whatever bookmark bar or folder structure your browser provides. You can start by importing your existing browser bookmarks or by adding bookmarks one at a time, and the site points to a Tools page that lists browser extensions to make bookmarking easier.

What Bort is for

Bort's core purpose is centralized bookmark management. If your saved links are scattered across browsers or buried in nested folders, Bort is intended as the place you keep them. The site describes itself simply as "a web app for bookmarks," so the value is in collecting and organizing links in one web-accessible location rather than in any single browser's local storage.

How you get your bookmarks in

There are two documented ways to populate Bort:

  • Import existing bookmarks. If you already have a collection in your browser, you can bring it in rather than rebuilding it by hand. This is the faster path when you're switching from browser bookmarks to Bort.
  • Add bookmarks individually. For new links or a small starting set, you can add them one at a time.

The site's own guidance is to "get started by importing your existing browser bookmarks or by adding bookmarks individually."

Making bookmarking easier day to day

Bort's Tools page covers browser extensions that streamline saving a bookmark. If you plan to save links frequently, checking that page is the practical next step after your initial import, since an extension reduces the friction of switching to the web app each time.

Is Bort a fit for you?

Bort suits you if you want a dedicated, web-based home for bookmarks and are willing to import your current collection or add links as you go. It is not positioned as a browser replacement or a general note-taking tool — the described scope is bookmarks. The available site information does not state pricing or account requirements, so confirm those details on the site before committing your collection.
