👋 Getting started

Urligram helps you save the links you care about and keep them organised in nested lists, share them with people you trust, and read the feeds behind them, all in one place. Everything you save stays private until you decide to share the list it's in.

Unsorted

The list Unsorted is where a bookmark lands if you don't choose a list for it. Think of it as your starting point.

🔖 Saving bookmarks

A bookmark is simply a page you've saved, with a title you're free to change. When you save one, Urligram quietly does the rest: it fetches the page and fills in a title, a description, an icon and a preview image, and checks whether it publishes a feed you could follow.

Adding a bookmark

Press + in the header, paste the address, and give it your own title if you'd rather not keep the one Urligram suggests. Unless you choose a list, the bookmark lands in Unsorted.

If you try to save a page you've already bookmarked, Urligram won't create a duplicate. It lets you know, and the button changes to Update so you can refresh that bookmark instead.

What you can do with a bookmark

• Edit lets you change the title or the address.
• Duplicate places a copy right below the original, in the same list.
• Delete sends the bookmark to your Trash. It isn't gone for good just yet.

Marking progress

Every bookmark carries a status you can cycle through by clicking its icon: None, Pending, In Progress, Done, and back to None again. It's personal to you: if you share a list with others, each person keeps track in their own way.

🗂️ Lists

Lists hold your bookmarks, and they can hold other lists too, nested up to 10 levels deep, so you can build the structure that makes sense to you. Two lists under the same parent can't share a name, and each name is limited to 30 characters, with up to 100 for the description.

Order

Lists remember the order you give them. New bookmarks arrive at the top, and you can drag any of them to a new position whenever you like.

Moving and copying

Drag a bookmark onto a list in the sidebar to move it there, or hold Cmd orCtrl while dragging to copy it and leave the original in place. Drop it on the empty part of the sidebar to send it back to Unsorted, and drag one list onto another to nest it inside.

Working with several bookmarks

Press Cmd+A or Ctrl+A to select every bookmark in the list you're viewing, then drag any one of them, and the whole selection moves together.

Sorting and paging the view

The sort control lets you reorder what you see, by order, status or reminder, without touching how the list is actually arranged; your manual order stays exactly as you left it. Long lists are simply paged, 20, 50 or 100 bookmarks at a time.

Deleting a list

Deleting a list takes every list inside it too. Any bookmark left with nowhere else to live goes to its owner's Trash, but the list itself can't be brought back, so it's worth a moment's thought first.

⏰ Reminders

A reminder is simply a way of marking a bookmark you mean to come back to. Click the clock icon on any bookmark to set one, and it will run for 10 days.

48 hours before it runs out, you'll see a warning icon on the bookmark, and we'll send you one email to give you a chance to act.

If the reminder does run out, the bookmark moves to your Trash and a second email lets you know. Nothing is lost right away: it stays there for 30 days.

Reminders are personal, so on a bookmark inside a shared list, each member sets their own. If the owner's reminder runs out, the bookmark leaves the shared list, and everyone else is emailed to let them know it's no longer there. If it's your reminder that runs out on a bookmark someone else owns, only your reminder disappears. The bookmark stays exactly where it was.

🗑️ Trash

Nothing you delete disappears right away. It goes to Trash first. Trash is a list of its own, and much like Unsorted, you can't rename it, delete it, or use it as a place to drop bookmarks.

A deleted bookmark always ends up in the Trash of whoever owns it. So if an editor deletes a bookmark from a shared list, it's the owner's Trash it lands in, not the editor's.

Bookmarks wait in Trash for 30 days before they're permanently deleted, and we'll email the owner when that happens.

To bring a bookmark back, just drag it out of Trash onto any list.

If you'd rather not wait, you can delete a single bookmark permanently or empty Trash altogether, quietly and without an email either way.

🤝 Sharing a list

Everyone you share a list with holds one of three roles.

• Owner: can do everything, including adding or removing members and deleting the list.
• Editor: can view, add, remove and reorder bookmarks.
• Reader: can view the list, nothing more.

Inviting someone

You invite people with a link, generated from the list's Sharing panel, carrying whichever role you'd like to give them. It only works once and expires after a week. Opening it shows the invitation, and joining still takes an explicit click, so nobody ends up in a list by accident.

Sublists

Sharing a list shares everything inside it, so a member's role reaches every sublist, however deep it goes. Managing the list itself (adding members, changing roles, renaming, deleting, transferring ownership) is different: it always needs ownership of that specific list, and isn't passed down automatically.

Ownership

An owner can transfer the list to any member, becoming an editor themselves once they do. Anyone else is free to leave whenever they like. An owner can't leave, though; the only way out is deleting the list.

If you leave a shared list, the bookmarks you own inside it pass to the list owner, so nothing is left in the hands of someone who can no longer reach it. Being removed by the owner works the same way.

Moving bookmarks in and out

Move a bookmark you don't own out of a shared list, and it becomes yours: the previous owner loses it. Copy it instead, and the original stays exactly where it was, while you get a new bookmark pointing at the same page.

🔗 Public links

Publishing a list gives you an address anyone can open, no account or sign-in required. What they'll see is read-only.

Publishing exposes the whole list, sublists included, so it's worth a quick look at what's inside before you do.

Visitors only see the bookmarks: no member list, no owner names, no email addresses.

You can add a password if you'd like. Visitors will need to enter it before the list opens for them.

You can also set an expiry: a day, a week, a month, three months, a year, or none at all. Once it passes, the address simply stops working and the list goes private again.

A list only has one public link at a time. Publish again and the old address is replaced; revoke it whenever you like. Either way, once a link is gone, it's gone for good.

📰 Reading feeds

Whenever you save a page, Urligram quietly checks whether it publishes a feed. If it does, you'll see a feed icon on the bookmark that you can switch on to start following it.

Following is entirely personal. Two people looking at the same shared bookmark can each decide for themselves, and keep their own unread counts. You can follow up to 200 feeds.

Read mode

The read-mode button in the header turns a list into a three-column reader: your followed bookmarks, their articles, and the one you're reading. Press Escape, or use your browser's back button, to step back a column at a time. Since every view has its own address, you can bookmark or share it just like any page.

Unread counts sit next to each bookmark and each list in the sidebar, reading «99+» once they climb past that.

Urligram checks your feeds for new articles roughly every 30 minutes.

Read mode isn't available in Trash.

🔍 Search

The search box in the header looks across every bookmark you have, in every list, including the ones shared with you.

It matches the title, the site address and the page path, so you can find a bookmark by what you typed even if Urligram filled in its title for you. Accents in titles don't matter either: searching for «cafe» will still find «café».

You can sort results alphabetically, or by which reminder is about to run out.

Search also reaches into Trash, even though browsing a list won't show what's sitting there.

Filter tokens

Mix filters with free text in the same box. Focus the empty search box to see every filter, or start typing to narrow the list down.

• status:pending, status:progress and status:done match a bookmark's progress.
• alert:none, alert:set and alert:expiring match its reminder.
• rss:true finds only the bookmarks whose feed you're following.

Once you've searched, each active filter shows up as its own chip next to the results, so you can drop one without retyping the rest.

The sidebar keeps four of these a click away: RSS, Expiring, Pending and In Progress.

🔄 Import and export

You'll find both in Profile.

Importing

Urligram reads the .html file that Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge all produce when you choose «Export bookmarks». Folders become lists, gathered inside a new list named Imported and the date. Feel free to reorganise them afterwards.

Titles come straight from the file, with no fresh fetch from the page, and every link gets imported, including ones you already have. The file itself can be up to 10 MB.

Exporting

Export produces the same .html format, covering both your own lists and the ones shared with you. Any browser can read it back, so it doubles nicely as your own backup.

🧩 Browser extension

The Urligram extension for Firefox and Chrome saves the page you're on into one of your lists without ever leaving it. It signs in on its own, separately from the website, and offers you the lists you own or can edit.

You'll find install links and the full picture on the extension page.

👤 Account and data

What Urligram stores

We keep your email address, your name, your language, and what you create, like your bookmarks and lists. Your password is always stored hashed, never as plain text.

Changing your details

Your name, language, theme and tooltips all live in Profile. Change your email address, and we'll send a confirmation link to the new one, valid for an hour, and the change only takes effect once you follow it. Forgotten your password? Reset it from the sign-in page, with the same one-hour link.

Deleting your account

Profile has a Delete account section. Type Delete into the box to unlock the button, which permanently removes your account, your bookmarks and your lists. There's no undoing it, so take your time.

If you own a list that other people are part of, we'll hold off until you've dealt with it: transfer it to another member, remove the members, or delete the list yourself.

If you'd like to keep a copy of anything, export your bookmarks first.
