Ratings and Reviews
The bookmarking tool I always wanted to build
I spent years keeping a modest collection of bookmarks in Pinboard and Raindrop, but ironically I only ever wanted a great native desktop experience for my bookmarks.
Anybox covers just about every use case I have and then some. It avoids the trap of becoming yet another read-it-later app while providing great productivity features like AppleScript support and deeplinking. The drag-and-drop support makes importing and exporting a breeze as well.
All in all, a fantastic app with a receptive developer and flexible subscription and one time payment options for just about everyone.
A bit too much
The app works just fine. It’d be nice if it got some more basics in place, like manual reordering of URLs that you save.
Raycast extension is awesome!
Other than that, it gives you Anydock, Pasteboard, Stash Box… and some other words I didn’t remember. It’s also a Note taking app, and saves Files and Images. All those things are for power users and have little to do with saving and organizing bookmarks. And, in that sense, it’s a bit too much.
Now, of course, it’s $40 if you don’t want a subscription. And for that much functionality, the price is more than fair. But I just feel like it’s overwhelming if you just want to save links. And that is another point where I feel it’s a bit too much.
On a Free plan, you get all the features, but can save just 50 links. Unlimited if you buy.
This is just a personal opinion, and how I feel towards Anybox pricing:
I’d gladly pay $20 for saving unlimited links. Without saving Files, saving Images, Note taking, Anydock, Stash Box… just saving links in folders, that’s all. And then $40 could be everything unlocked, for power users.
All in all, the app works great, but, for me, who just wants to manage links, there’s a bit too much of functionality, and therefore the price. And if you’re a power user and need all of it - go for it!
Very good app with confusing nomenclature
After comparing a few others, I settled on Anybox. It is really nice and fits my workflow of saving URLs for later use much better. That said, and as another user also mentioned, the "tags" implementation is poor. A better term would be 'Folders'. Nesting tags doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
Ideally, the current "Tags" view in the side panel should be called 'Folders'. Also, it should be easy to assign multiple tags in one go. Right now, if I want to add two or more tags and try to separate them with a comma, it just creates a new single tag of that name. Currently, to apply multiple tags, you have to choose and select each one, one at a time.
I hope the developers of this program update this aspect of the app.
