Sync browser bookmarks across devices using GitHub Gist
Browser extension that synchronizes bookmarks between Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and other browsers using your GitHub Gist as secure cloud storage.
BookmarkHub is a browser extension designed for users who work across multiple browsers and devices. Instead of relying on proprietary sync services, it leverages GitHub Gist as a secure, version-controlled storage backend for your bookmarks.
After installing the extension in Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or any Chromium-based browser, you authenticate using a GitHub personal access token and specify a Gist ID. BookmarkHub then enables one-click upload and download of your entire bookmark collection. The extension displays local and remote bookmark counts, helping you track synchronization status at a glance.
Ideal for developers and power users already comfortable with GitHub who want full ownership of their bookmark data. The extension requires no separate account registration—your existing GitHub credentials provide both authentication and storage. Because bookmarks are stored as Gist files, you retain complete control and can version, audit, or migrate your data independently of any third-party service.
When teams consider BookmarkHub, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.

Multi-Browser Developer Workflow
A developer testing web apps in Chrome, Firefox, and Edge keeps identical bookmark sets synchronized across all browsers using a single Gist, eliminating manual duplication.
Cross-Machine Consistency
A remote worker maintains the same bookmarks on office and home computers by downloading from Gist on each machine, ensuring access to critical resources anywhere.
Bookmark Backup and Recovery
Before reinstalling a browser or OS, a user uploads bookmarks to Gist, then restores them with one click after setup, preventing data loss.
Privacy-Focused Sync
A security-conscious user avoids browser vendor sync services by storing bookmarks in a private GitHub Gist, maintaining full audit trails and encryption control.
Yes. BookmarkHub stores bookmarks in GitHub Gist, so you must have a GitHub account and create a personal access token with Gist permissions.
Not yet. Currently you must manually click upload or download to sync bookmarks. Automatic synchronization is on the roadmap for future releases.
Use a secret Gist to keep your bookmarks private. Public Gists can be discovered and searched by anyone on GitHub.
BookmarkHub works with Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and other Chromium-based browsers. Install it from the respective browser extension store.
Not currently. Mobile app support is planned for future development but is not available yet.
