Pile - lightweight bookmarking per Armin

How does it work?

Press the Pile button to store a link in your Pile bookmark folder. A scrollable sidebar gives you quick access to its content. Show and hide it by pressing the sidebar button in your toolbar.


Differences to other “read it later”-like solutions

• It’s small and fast.
• It’s open source.
• It doesn’t depend on cloud services. As long as you do not activate any bookmark syncing services (e.g. Firefox Sync), everything stays on your harddrive.
• It doesn’t harvest your data.
• It puts the focus on simplicity and interoperability. Pile won’t get in your way.

Keyboard shortcuts

• Alt+⇧+P - put the current page on the Pile
• Alt+⇧+S - open/close the Pile sidebar

To configure the shortcuts go to Tools/Add-ons, click on Extensions, click on the cogwheel on the top right, choose Manage Extension Shortcuts.

Other features

• Right-click on page - close the active tab after putting it on your Pile
• Right-click on tab - put all unpinned tabs on the Pile and close them afterwards
• Basic search functionality
• You can move bookmarks in and out of your Pile using the bookmarks library. You can also re-position the Pile folder itself.
• NEW: You can quickly clean up your Pile in one fell swoop. Just click on the trashcan symbol in your sidebar and select what you want to remove.
