Browser Extension

The Linkflare browser extension is the fastest way to save content. It's available for any browser via the bookmarklet.

Installation

You can install the extension from your browser's web store.

Safari

The Safari extension comes with Linkflare for Mac. Install the app from the Mac App Store and open it once. Then turn on Linkflare in Safari Settings > Extensions, click the Linkflare button in the toolbar and sign in.

Using the Extension

One-Click Save

Click the Linkflare icon in your toolbar to instantly save the current page.

Browser Extension Popup

Quick Organize

After saving, a popup appears allowing you to immediately:

  • Select Collection: Choose where the bookmark should live.
  • Add Tags: Type to search or create new tags.
  • Add to Inbox: By default, new items go to your Inbox unless you file them elsewhere.

Context Menu

Right-click on any link or image on a webpage to save it directly to Linkflare without opening it. Look for "Save to Linkflare" in the context menu.

Browser Extension Context

Save All Your Open Tabs

To keep a whole window of tabs, open the extension and click Save all N open tabs below the save form. You get a list of the window's tabs with every one ticked. Untick the ones you don't need, then pick where the rest go: a new collection named after today's date and time (rename it if you like) or your Inbox.

Tick Close saved tabs to clear the window while you're at it. When the save is done, every tab whose page is now in Linkflare closes, including pages you had saved before. Pinned tabs and tabs that didn't save stay open, and the extension remembers your choice for next time. Pages you had already saved aren't saved again, so their collection, tags and notes stay as they were.

You can also right-click the Linkflare icon in your toolbar and choose Save all tabs in this window. That saves every tab into a new dated collection without asking and closes nothing. Browser pages like settings or an empty new tab are left out, and one run saves up to 100 tabs.

Languages

The extension uses your browser's language. It's available in English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian.

New Tab Page

Turn every new tab into your personal Linkflare dashboard. The extension replaces your browser's default new tab page with a customizable overview of your bookmarks, inbox, and collections — so your saved content is always one tab away.

Dashboard Layout

The default Dashboard layout gives you a full overview at a glance:

  • Clock & Greeting: A personalized greeting with the current time and date.
  • Quick Add / Search: Instantly add a new bookmark or search your entire library.
  • Recent: Your most recently saved bookmarks from the last 7 days, displayed as visual cards.
  • Stats: A quick snapshot — total bookmarks, items saved this week, and inbox count.
  • Inbox: Your latest inbox items so you never forget what's waiting to be read or watched.
  • Rediscover: Resurfaces older bookmarks you might have forgotten about — great for revisiting saved content.
  • Collections: Quick access to your top-level collections with color-coded dots.

Minimal Layout

Prefer a cleaner look? Switch to Minimal layout to show just the clock, search bar, and Rediscover section over a beautiful background image. Perfect for a focused, distraction-free new tab experience.

Themes & Backgrounds

Make the new tab page yours with full theme and background customization:

  • Theme: Choose between Auto (follows your system), Light, or Dark.
  • Background: Pick from a curated set of gradient backgrounds, or upload your own custom image using the + button.
  • Overlay darkness: Adjust the overlay opacity to ensure text remains readable over any background.

  • Theme: Auto, Light, or Dark.
