The Pinport guide

Work with multiple bookmarks

Turn a handful of small tasks into one action.

Select bookmarks on desktop

Choose Select above your bookmark list, then click the links you want to include. You can also hold Ctrl on Windows/Linux or Command on Mac while clicking a bookmark. Shift-click selects a range.

Use Select all to select the current results, including results further down the list. Filtering or searching first makes this useful for one project or topic.

Select bookmarks on mobile

Choose Select, then tap bookmarks to toggle their selection. The selection toolbar shows how many are selected. Open its More actions menu for actions that do not fit on the screen. Exit Select mode to open links normally again.

Choose an action

ActionWhat it does
Edit tagsAdd or remove tags across the selection.
OpenOpen selected links in browser tabs. Your browser may ask to allow popups.
Copy URLsCopy the links, one per line.
ExportDownload the selected bookmarks as an HTML file.
DeleteRemove the selected bookmarks after confirmation.
Check your selection before applying an action.

Selected bookmarks can remain selected when you change filters. Pinport shows when selected bookmarks are outside the current results. Clear the selection if you only want to act on what you can currently see.

Edit tags together

The tag editor distinguishes tags on all selected bookmarks from tags on some of them. Adding a tag applies it to the selection; removing one removes it from the selection. Unchanged tags stay as they were.

For example, filter by Research, select the links for your new project, and add Website redesign. Those bookmarks keep their other tags.

Delete carefully

Review the count in the confirmation before deleting. For a large cleanup, export a backup first. Removing a tag in settings is different: it keeps the bookmarks.

Keyboard shortcuts

Ctrl/Command + A selects the current results when you are not typing in a field. Delete opens the deletion confirmation for a selection. Escape closes the current editor or selection. See keyboard shortcuts →
