01

Encrypted

Your data is encrypted and decrypted on your device with your password. No one but you can read it — not even the sync service.

02

Anonymous

No sign up required and no personal data collected. Install, set a password, and you get an anonymous sync ID. That's it.

03

Free

No charges, no premium tier, and you'll never see a single ad. Free as in freedom — GPL-licensed, forever.

ABOUT

Big tech syncs your data. We think that's the problem.

Every browser vendor will happily sync your bookmarks — as long as you stay inside their ecosystem, logged into their account. MarkSync is the free and open-source way out: one bookmark library shared across browsers from different vendors, working with each browser's native bookmarking tools, never existing unencrypted anywhere but your own devices.

1

Install

2

Set a password

Choose an encryption password and hit Create New Sync. Encryption happens on your device.

3

Sync everywhere

Use your anonymous sync ID on any other browser or device. Your bookmark folders stay intact.

FAQS

Questions, answered

What is a sync ID?+

An anonymous identifier for your encrypted data. Together with your password, it lets you access your bookmarks from any browser or device. It contains no personal information whatsoever.

Can the service operator read my bookmarks?+

No. Encryption and decryption happen on your device with your password. The service only ever stores an encrypted blob it cannot open. But remember: if you lose your password, no one can recover your data — back up regularly.

Can I run my own sync service?+

Yes — that's the point. Anyone can self-host the MarkSync API for complete control of their data, or pick from the list of public services run by volunteers.

I'm coming from xBrowserSync — how do I migrate?+

Export a backup from xBrowserSync, install MarkSync, and restore it. Your folders, descriptions and tags come along. Existing xBrowserSync services remain compatible.

Is it really free? What's the catch?+

There is no catch. MarkSync is GPL-licensed open source, run by volunteers, funded by donations, with no ads and nothing to sell — because there's no data to sell.
