Open Source Repository for Bookmark++, a Bookmark Management Tool That Utilizes Chrome Local APIs

Introduction

Bookmark++ is a Chrome V3 extension that leverages Chrome local APIs and cutting-edge AI technologies to help you manage and search your bookmarks effectively. It uses the Summarization API to summarize the content of a web page before storing it in local storage, and the Prompt API to process bookmark searches. Transformer.js is used with a local copy of the Jina embeddings model to create the embeddings needed for the natural language search features. This ensures that Bookmark++ operates completely privately—your data never leaves your browser.

Bookmark++ transforms your bookmark collection into a searchable database, allowing you to find relevant web pages using natural language queries. Even better, it supports analytical queries, making your bookmarks an advanced knowledge base rather than just a static collection of web page references.

Features

• Local AI Processing: Ensures privacy by performing all operations directly in your browser.
• AI-Powered Summarization: Automatically generates summaries of bookmarked pages.
• Search with Natural Language: Use simple keywords or complex queries to find bookmarks.
• Customizable Summaries: Adjust summary styles to suit your preferences.
• User Notes: Add personalized annotations to bookmarks for richer search results.
• Analytical Queries: Perform advanced searches to uncover insights from your bookmarks.

Requirements

• The latest Canary build of Chrome, which includes experimental natural language APIs.
• A modern GPU with at least 4GB of VRAM for local AI processing.
