Shelved for Google Chrome™

Bookmarks worth revisiting, not just saving.

Shelved quietly tracks when you last opened a bookmark, then resurfaces the ones you saved and forgot, a few at a time instead of all at once.

Not another feed to check.

Built to be trusted, not just installed.

Shelved doesn’t scan your browsing history or send your bookmarks anywhere. It watches visit times the browser already has, picks a small, rate-limited handful to resurface each week, and keeps everything in your browser’s own storage.

How Shelved keeps track.

The same three things happen for every bookmark.

  1. 1

    Track quietly

    Shelved notes when a bookmark was saved and, once you allow it, when it was last visited, entirely inside your browser.

  2. 2

    Resurface a few at a time

    Once a bookmark goes unvisited past the threshold you choose, it becomes eligible for a gentle weekly reminder, capped so a backlog never lands on you all at once.

  3. 3

    Snooze, dismiss, or delete

    Keep it, snooze it for a few months, say never mind, or delete it outright, right from the popup or the options page.

You decide how long is too long.

Choose how long a bookmark can go unvisited before it’s worth a nudge, from a month to two years. Turning on the optional history permission lets Shelved catch up on bookmarks you saved before installing it, not just new ones.

Check in, tidy up, get back to it.

The toolbar popup shows this week’s picks at a glance. Everything else worth revisiting is one click away, on its own page.

  • See exactly how long it’s been since your last visit
  • Snooze for a few months or dismiss for good, no digging through settings
  • Tidy up duplicate bookmarks, empty folders, and dead links whenever you want

Plain about privacy.

Bookmark tracking and tidying happen locally in your browser. The optional history lookup only ever checks URLs you’ve already bookmarked. Anonymous usage analytics is on by default and can be turned off at any time.
