Save from the bookmarks bar of any browser

On this page

Save to Tagsora is a button for your browser’s bookmarks bar: click it on any website and that page is saved to your library. It works in any desktop browser, Safari included, and on computers where you can’t install anything. There is nothing to download from a store: you drag it from here.

Under the hood it’s a special bookmark (sometimes called a bookmarklet): instead of taking you to a website, it opens Tagsora to save the one you’re on.

Save to Tagsora

Drag the button to your bookmarks bar.

How to add it

  1. Show the bookmarks bar (see below for each browser).
  2. Drag the “Save to Tagsora” button from this page onto the bar and drop it. The bookmark takes that name; you can rename it.
  3. Done. You only do this once per browser.

In the bar it shows your browser’s generic icon (a globe in Chrome and Edge) rather than Tagsora’s. That’s expected: browsers don’t let this kind of bookmark have its own icon. You’ll recognise it by its name.

Showing the bookmarks bar

  • Chrome: Ctrl+Shift+B (on a Mac, ⌘+Shift+B), or ⋮ › Bookmarks and lists › Show bookmarks bar.
  • Safari: ⌘+Shift+B, or View › Show Favorites Bar.
  • Firefox: Ctrl+Shift+B (on a Mac, ⌘+Shift+B), or ☰ › Bookmarks › Bookmarks Toolbar › Always Show.
  • Edge: Ctrl+Shift+B (on a Mac, ⌘+Shift+B), or … › Favorites › Show favorites bar.

If you can’t drag it

Right-click the button and choose Bookmark Link (in Safari, Add Link to Bookmarks). If your browser doesn’t offer it, open Tagsora, go to Settings › Library and capture › Save from your bookmarks bar and click Copy the code: create a new bookmark and paste the code as its address.

How to use it

On any website, click Save to Tagsora in the bar. A small window opens, saves the page to your library and tells you how it went:

  • Saved: it’s in your library. The AI tags it within seconds, and you can add your own tags from the same window.
  • Already in your library: you saved it before, so nothing is duplicated.
  • If you had text selected, the window shows it and you can add it to the link’s notes as a quote, even if you’d saved it before: it’s added to what you had, without erasing it.

After saving, the window closes on its own a few seconds later, unless you’re using it. If you’re not signed in, it asks you to sign in and comes back to finish saving.

If your browser blocks pop-ups, saving opens in the same tab instead and asks you to confirm with Save: outside the bookmark’s window, Tagsora never saves anything without your click.

What about the extension?

The browser extension is in the works (it isn’t in the stores yet) and will do more: save with a keyboard shortcut without opening windows, and highlight on the page. This button is the lightweight option, and the only one in Safari today. On your phone, Tagsora works from the web: paste the link with the add button.

Where it doesn’t work

  • On the browser’s own pages (the new tab, settings) and on PDFs open in the browser’s viewer: they have no web address to save.
  • A website with a very strict security policy may stop the bookmark from running. There, copy the address and paste it into Tagsora.
