The Pinport guide
Organize with tags
Your own labels, for what only you know.
Pinport already sorts your bookmarks into topics by what they are about. Tags are for what it cannot know: the project a link is for, the trip you are planning, the things you mean to read later. One bookmark can carry several tags, so it never has to live in one place.
Tags are filters
Open Filter next to Select above your bookmarks and choose a tag to show links with that tag. Choose another to narrow the list to links with every selected tag. Selected tags are listed first; the list offers only tags that still have matches.

3 of 3 bookmarks match
Open Filter and choose Design, then open it again and choose Tools. Only the bookmark with both tags remains. Choose a selected tag again to remove it.
Choose a selected tag again to remove it, or Clear to remove them all. Tags combine with search and topics, in any order. Learn how to find bookmarks →
Keep tags in view
On a wide screen, you can list your tags in a column beside the results instead of the Filter menu: in Settings → Appearance, choose Tags beside results. The setting applies to the device you choose it on; smaller screens keep the Filter menu.
Add tags when you save or edit
- Open a new bookmark, or choose Edit in an existing bookmark’s details.
- In Tags, choose an existing tag or type a new one and press Enter or Add. Commas and semicolons also add a tag.
- Choose Save to keep your changes.
Tags exist because bookmarks use them. There is no separate empty folder to create. Start with two or three useful labels, and add more when you need them.
Rename a tag
Open Settings → Tags, find the tag, and choose Rename. The change applies to every bookmark using that tag. Renaming to an existing tag combines them.
Delete a tag
In Settings → Tags, choose Delete for a tag. This removes the label from its bookmarks; it does not delete the bookmarks themselves.
Tag several bookmarks together
Use Select mode in your library, choose the bookmarks, and edit their tags together. See bulk actions for how adding and removing tags affects a selection.
Moving from folders
During import, each folder name becomes a tag. A bookmark in Work → Research gets Work and Research. Existing tags in the HTML file are kept too. You can simplify or rename those labels after the import.
Use a project (Website redesign), a trip (Lisbon), or a purpose (Read later). Topics already cover what a page is about, so you rarely need tags like Design or Tools. Only add labels you expect to filter by. Explore practical examples.
