BrainTool - Go Beyond Bookmarks

Braintool team, Thank you so much! After trying many bookmark managers, I finally found the perfect one. I have just one request: it would be amazing if you could integrate this fantastic tool with a new tab page, where we have the ability to see and manage bookmarks on new tab. I truly appreciate your time and effort.

Among the many bookmark managers, BrainTool stands out not only for its very good ratings. Above all, it has a convenient import and export function. And it supports the org mode even more. This allowed me to quite efficiently import my entire bookmark collection from Toby, which has become a paid add-on. In Toby, I exported the entire collection (you have to click on your account icon and there you will find the export of the entire collection) to a text file. At the same time, I exported th...

Farewell, regular old bookmarks. There are so many extensions and apps out there to organize bookmarks but they always have disappointed me in one main factor: I never feel "in control" of my bookmarks a lot. When I say "control", I mean the kind of control you have over a Notepad file, with everything feeling nice and organized. However with BrainTool, I feel totally in control and actually see myself using this very regularly. It's nice to have a large storage of bookmarks like this, becaus... Show more

I am a huge tab hoarder and have been hopping from extension to extension to find the perfect tab manager for my workflow. I have to say, while the extension took some time to get used to, it has been the tool I've been waiting for, allowing me to categorize tabs quickly (by tracing back where they came from). With BrainTool, I am no longer losing important sites to the abyss, using suboptimal methods (such as scrolling through history) to access them. I can put everything in a centralized pl... Show more

As it seems many on here, I am also coming over from Tabs Outliner, which I have liked, but has bugs and a couple of used-daily free things taken away with the recent, summer (Aug?) 2024 update. So.... on to try new things. As someone said below, this is a little different philosophy than Tabs Outliner (where all opened tabs are automatically populated) and more like Toby (you have to select/choose to add the tabs) and so I am still getting used to it. I do like it so far and find it eminen... Show more

Since TabOutliner is no longer maintained, I was looking for help/ideas in TabOutliner's reviews and someone mentioned to try BrainTool. Glad that they did. This is a very promising application so hopefully it doesn't get abandoned like TabOutliner.

The developer stealth-marketed BrainTool in the support group for Tabs Outliner, but the former does not have the functionality of the latter.

UPDATE after v.1.0.0, 2024 - 06-12: BrainTool is revolutionary for me. Because virtually everything we do these days is online / web-based, we are forced to spend the bulk of our days in the browser. BrainTool truly solves an enormous issue, which is organizing the absolute deluge of sites, windows, tabs & junk we have to slog through each day. It is very much different from bookmarks, because BrainTool is intended specifically for quickly & easily managing active / working / functional tab... Show more

I've only been using BrainTool a short amount of time, but already I'm incredibly impressed. It offers extensive customization and personalization, allowing me to organize things exactly how I want. I love that I can choose to display the menu as either a separate tab or a sidebar. One of the standout features is its minimal permission requirements and strong focus on user privacy. I've tried other options, but BrainTool far surpasses them. It integrates seamlessly with my workflow, especiall... Show more

Came from Tabs Outliner and I'm currently testing version 1.0, although a different philosophy, I looks very promising, specially the developer commitment and upgrade do manifest v.3 which will diminish out options a lot. It seems one of the best option in fast development in 2024.
