The Last Bookmark Bender

Temporary bookmarks with retention rules, warnings, and a final 24-hour grace period.

"Stop link hoarding. Save temporary bookmarks, get warned, then decide in a final 24-hour grace period." The Last Bookmark Bender gives every “read later” link an expiration date so bookmarks don’t live forever by default. HOW IT WORKS 1. Bend a page - save the current tab into a dedicated lastbookmark folder (toolbar popup, right-click “Bend this page”, or Alt+Shift+B). 2. Get warned - shortly before retention ends, you’ll get a heads-up (optional). 3. Final 24 hours - when time is up, the bookmark enters a grace period. Keep it or delete it. 4. Clean exit - unused bookmarks are removed automatically. Recently deleted items can be restored from the popup. WHY IT EXISTS Browser bookmarks are great at collecting and terrible at letting go. This extension adds gentle pressure: temporary by default, with a clear last chance before deletion. FEATURES • Default retention you choose (minutes to months) • Warning before expiration • Final 24-hour grace period with Keep / Delete • Toolbar badge for bookmarks that need attention • Click a notification to reopen the related page • Search and sort in the popup • Recently Deleted with restore • JSON export from Settings • Keyboard shortcut (Alt+Shift+B - customize in chrome://extensions/shortcuts) PRIVACY Everything stays on your device. No accounts, no analytics, no remote sync of your bookmarks. See the Privacy Policy linked on this listing. LIMITS • Up to 100 active temporary bookmarks • Up to 50 recently deleted entries Made for people who bookmark first and decide later and want the later part to actually happen.
