Use Notion as a bookmark manager
Browser bookmarks are a write-only store. You add to them. You don't return to them. Notion is different: it's a workspace you already use daily, which means your bookmarks actually surface.
The capture
On any page: press ⌘⇧Y with the Links workflow selected. Filed reads the page title, URL, and OG image, then creates an entry in your Links database in Notion. The OG cover image embeds in the Notion page.
Properties created on each Links save
- Title (from OG tag or page title)
- URL
- OG cover image (embedded in the Notion page)
- Favicon
- Saved date
The difference from browser bookmarks
The Links database has views, filters, and search. You can add a status, a project relation, a tag. The Notion page for each entry shows the full OG preview: you see what the link is, not just the URL string.
Bookmark managers fail when adding to them costs more than ignoring them. One keystroke is the threshold.
A bookmark manager only works if your links go where you already think.
Domain rules for automatic routing
Set domain rules for sites you save from regularly. Filed detects the domain and selects Links automatically. You stop choosing every time.
Domain rules are Pro. The Links workflow is free.
