What Linkman is
Linkman is a bookmark manager for organizing large collections with keywords, folders, or both. It runs as a Windows application and browser extension, with direct integrations listed for Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Opera, plus support for other browsers. Search handles wildcards, phrases, and AND, OR, and AND NOT operators, and the software can detect duplicate bookmarks. Bookmarks are kept in local XML databases that can be password protected. The free Lite edition is licensed for private, non-commercial use and is limited to 10,000 bookmarks. Pro costs 24.95 USD once, removes licensing restrictions, and allows unlimited bookmarks with syncing across browsers and computers. Pro can check for dead links, major content changes, and moved pages, and can update URLs for moved pages. It also supports cloud sync through services including Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive, and can be installed on a USB stick. A 30 day trial is available.
