Changelog

📥 Import From Just About Anywhere

• Import a bookmarks file from Chrome, Edge, Brave, Firefox, Safari, Opera, Vivaldi, Arc, and anything else that exports one
• Purpose-built support for OneTab, Toby, Session Buddy, Workona, and Tab Manager Plus
• Reads Raindrop.io and Pocket exports, plus plain CSV and Markdown
• Paste a list of links straight from a note, a doc, or an email
• Using something we've never heard of? We still read the file and pull every link out of it — you never lose a link just because we didn't recognise the format

🔖 Import Straight From Your Browser

• Pull in your bookmarks from the browser you're already using — no export file needed
• Your folder structure comes with them: nested folders become clearly named Collections, so Work / Design / Refs stays distinct from Personal / Refs

👀 See Exactly What Will Happen — Before Anything Is Saved

• A preview screen shows how many links and Collections are about to be created, and which Space they'll land in
• Tells you upfront how much room your plan has, and exactly what will fit
• Nothing is written until you press the button — no surprise half-finished imports

🧹 Skip Links You Already Have

• Duplicate detection is on by default and checks against everything already in your TabBud
• Recognises the same page even when the link looks different — tracking tags, www., a trailing slash, or query parameters in a different order
• Also catches duplicates inside the file itself, so a bookmark filed in two folders is saved once

↩️ Changed Your Mind? Undo It

• Undo this import removes exactly what that import created
• Everything else in that Space stays exactly where it was

📤 Export Everything, Anytime

• Bookmarks file (.html) — works with every browser, Raindrop, Pocket, and most bookmark tools
• TabBud backup (.json) — everything, losslessly. Re-import it into TabBud and get your Spaces, Collections, and colours back
• Spreadsheet (.csv) — opens in Sheets, Excel, and Notion
• Markdown (.md) — grouped by heading, ready for Obsidian and notes apps
• Export everything, a single Space, or a single Collection
• Generated instantly on your own device — no waiting, no upload

📊 Built for Big Libraries
