Shelved: Bookmark rediscovery for 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.

  • Tracks when each bookmark was last visited, entirely inside your browser
  • Resurfaces a few unvisited bookmarks a week, never a backlog all at once
  • Snooze, dismiss, or tidy up duplicates and dead links along the way

What you can do with Shelved

Quick Checks in the toolbar

Shelved brings back a small set of older bookmarks at a time, right from the toolbar. Open one, snooze it for three months, dismiss it, or delete it.

A calm place for the backlog

The full Older bookmarks view lets you work through everything you saved at your own pace. Choose when a bookmark counts as stale, anywhere from one month to two years.

Tidy up as you go

Find duplicate bookmarks, empty folders, and links that no longer work, and clean them up from one place.

Daily local backups

Shelved keeps a daily backup of your bookmarks for seven days, so you can restore them if you need to.

Questions about Shelved

Does Shelved read my browsing history?
Only if you allow it. Granting the optional history permission lets Shelved check bookmarks you already had, and it only looks up visits to URLs that are in your bookmarks. It never scans your general browsing history. Without that permission, bookmarks you save after installing are still tracked.
Will Shelved remind me about sites I use every day?
No. Shelved avoids treating common app shortcuts and homepages as forgotten reading, and you can override tracking for individual bookmarks.
Does Shelved sync between my devices?
Your Chrome bookmarks keep syncing normally, but Shelved's own tracking data, snoozes, preferences, and backups stay on the device where you use it.
Does Shelved collect my bookmarks?
No. Tracking data stays in Chrome storage on your device. Optional anonymous feature usage analytics never include bookmark titles, URLs, or page content.
