Smarky overview

Smarky is the bookmarks manager for Safari bookmarks which is compatible with Apple's iCloud. After installing Smarky and enabling iCloud syncing, you can have automatically alphabetized and organized Safari bookmarks on all of your Apple devices.

Note: We are no longer actively promoting Smarky because, beginning with one of the Safari 11 releases, in Safari’s Bookmarks Edit Bookmarks, there is a Sort By contextual menu which will sort items. This is certainly not as powerful and flexible as Smarky, but given that installing and maintaining any app is a bit of work and cognitive overhead, we feel that users who just want their bookmarks in alpha-numeric order are better off by once in a while using this this new function which is now built into Safari. However, if you are a bookmark nerd that wants more, Smarky's built-in store is still open and our plans are to continue supporting Smarky.

What’s new in version 3.0.3

Updated on Sep 19 2022

Changes

Fixed bug which caused total *churn* (all bookmarks and folders deleted and re-written) during exports and duplicating of all items during imports, for some users who upgraded from version 2. Details: When migrating Client (browser) settings from version 2.x .bmco documents, if the value of Merge by URL was no value, as it apparently was for some users, the Merge by value is now correctly set to Identifier or URL instead of None. Also, the default value is now Identifier or URL, and values in documents mis-migrated in previous versions are now corrected to Identifier or URL.
When importing from Firefox when Firefox is not running, now ignores the mobile folder, instead of treating it as a soft folder. This was a cause of*churn*. The mobile folder has been present in recent versions of Firefox.
Fixed bug which caused a crash when using the Edit > Cut command on a bookmark or folder. Not sure if it started crashing with recent macOS versions, or because we recently started using a newer build system (Xcode 14, macOS 13 SDK) from Apple.
