cloud bookmarking at its finest
Too many permissions for this extension. Why is that? Why do you need the permission to read everything from every website I open? This is a bookmark manager extension. I think it's a big privacy risk using this extension.
I've been using Papaly for probably a couple years now and I am finally writing a review. I can say that I have not had a single problem with Papaly until just recently when they must have been having an issue and it was down for 1-2 days. To that, I just say make sure you have your go-to tabs for work/school saved on your normal Bookmark bar (not hard to do) as back-up. Their updates must be very quick because I have never experienced a disruption other than that. I can never go back to normal bookmarks.
Papaly is a GREAT and FREE service that used for web page bookmarks. It gives you a very nice and clean graphical display of your bookmarks, arranged by categories that you create and arrange. Adding a new bookmark is super-simple and quick. I highly recommend that you give them a try. They just completed a major database upgrade and added new features, so I can strenuously recommend it to everyone.
This is unprofessional to not have communication with users at all when the service is down. Devs abandoned their social media long ago so no communication and there was no warning in the service itself about any issues. Free service, okay, but if such thing happen (my data locked out for days and it messed my plans) then is not reliable and I better back to classic browser bookmarks. Trust is lost. Thanks for serving well for years.
I'm writing this 5-star review as the developer has not only brought back the service after the below complaints about the downtime, but also fixed the delay of switching dashboards. I hope this review stays on top so the "bad reviews" in the last couple of days doesn't ruin the reputation of this great extension / project. Remember, Papaly is free for most, if not all, of us (unlike all other similar apps which are freemium at best). I myself tried multiple times to find a way to donate and failed. (If the developers read this, please consider opening up a way for us to donate or contribute). So if you are using a free service, *and* not knowing how to have proper regular back-ups of your bookmarks (among other important things online), *and* not knowing how to use / read the support page to report a downtime, your 1-star reviews really are just malicious attempt to attack out of your frustration and/or spoiled mind. Thanks again for this great extension. This is a conclusion I can confidently make after trying more than a dozen similar extensions (and one short-lived attempt to code my own) in so many years.
It appears to me that the developers have abandoned the project. It's unfortunate, because I was relying on this a lot.
I think it's been 72 hours now, the page shows "Offline for Maintenance". I don't have access to my bookmarks and it's a trouble for me to check the history and find out the URLs. Once this gets up and running I think I will switch to Raindrop or Webcull or rather try chrome's inbuilt bookmark manager. I know papaly was very good, that's why I was using it. But if your production deployment is breaking, I am surprised to see how difficult it is to rollback to previous deployment and get it up and running!!! or at most deploy the pre-prod branch or something if you have one... 72 hours of downtime for a bookmark application is too much. And they do not have updates in twitter, facebook, instagram etc.
IF YOU NEED MONEY TO KEEP THE LIGHTS ON THEN JUST GO SAAS ALREADY. BRING BACK PAPALY
Fix "Offline for maintenance" as it's been going on for the last few days
Any updates? I need my bookmarks back!
It's high time to acknowledge the incredible value of the extension when the service is down. I've come to realize what an amazing tool I've been using for free, perhaps for a year now. I say this feeling quite stuck, without any backup. So one might guess how strong is my support. PS: Please make it possible to use the full horizontal space on the board. PSS: Please remove the default white background to avoid severe flashes (especially in the dark theme). During meetings, people might think I'm surrounded by paparazzi, even in broad daylight.
Atleast have some backup .. Site is on maintainance since last 40 hrs... People are struggling with the work.. Didn't expect this from papaly.. this much big company website going down for more than 40 hrs.. highly disappointing..
Have used this extension 2 or 3 years and it was awesome experience, but "updating to the latest version" and "Offline for maintenance" messages are being shown last 2 days. So I can't use my bookmarks and have no idea how to restore them
Really good, I have used it for several years. But I am wondering whether it is running... for it never shows up these two days, stuck on "updating to the latest version".
I am so glad to see that your just down!!! I was scared it could be something more than that. May be that I have a little paranoia after reading how Twitter dumped ManageFlitter on ukufu.com. Seems Twitter could use some professional etiquette coaching from what I gathered. Maybe Elon has that under control now, idk what I am talking about, just glad this is a temporary issue for Papaly!
I loved it
The more I discover about it, the more I really like it!
This extension is very good, especially if you use multiple computers. You can sign in with one account and have all of your bookmarks on all of your computers whenever you make a change on one of your computers, it goes to all of the others. There's also quite a few other useful things that it has. Overall I highly recommend it.
Finally a bookmark manager! Calling bookmark manager to the previous before papaly is like watching VHS and then BlueRay
A really good app for sharing my bookmarks. Really useful to me and my team. Suggestion: - 2nd and 3rd foldering layer - remove ads for pro account
Awesome.??
Love it
papaly! : Still working to understand what it's basic capabilities are. Documentation? There is some, but needs more. Brave and Chrome support is there, but to what degree? Firefox support says there is an extension, but when link is clicked, not found. How do you add new bookmarks? Is it automatic from browsers? with syncing? I do not know yet. How easy is it to merge bookmarks and do they go back to the browsers all synced up? I have more questions than answers. So more working with papaly to see if it is up to task or not.
Best .I just love it
This is the best of both worlds: Speed Dials and Bookmarks. I love how easy it is to organize my boards and have everything I need in one spot.
This is a multitaskers dream. I can easily navigate from work setups to gaming links, music links, and news links. It helps me organize all my streaming and sports apps as well in one interface. I used to use speed dial but I found this is much faster and allows better organization. I am glad I found this app.
I'm new to Papaly, but I love how easy it is to use, works, and that it's free (Well, for now anyway)!
Amazing
thx for making this. Awesome
So easy to setup and use. I was maintaining my own html page created by Excel for many years but now fully converted!
Very helpful extension!
Easy to understand, easy to use, clear, effective, productive. Best bookmark manager I've used. Great work.I'd love to see other background options available like plain colours and coloured tabs - I am a designer afterall ;-). Otherwise, great extension! Idea for future: Integrate other apps like emails.
Great
Love it
The Best Bookmark Extension in the World I Love It ... Thank you Papaly
Never expected a free tool to be this good. i'd love it if they could implement cross platform sync as well. never the less, simply amazing.
excellent tool
Very nice! Many thanks!
Must have plugin
Simply nice app
Hi, is the website down? I can't access it anymore
A curated place to have all you favorite sites.
Great bookmark concept. The best free of charge bookmark site ik know. Some things could still be better. like better import and export capability with google / edge bookmark files, but all in all i am happy about it
I was really looking for something to organize my bookmarks. Also rid duplicates. This requires me to log in, yet i cant seem to sign up for an account with the extension. I tried through email and through the google link and both would not allow it. the options screen seems to be useless. So without an account the extension is pretty useless.
this is exactly what i have been looking for, glad that i came across it. great:)
the extension was ok but it requires too many permission on sensible areas. For example why should I let Papaly manage all my other extensions and app on chrome? Ex of requested permissions: -Replace the page that you see when opening a new tab (why?) -Read and change your browsing history -Read and change your bookmarks -Manage your apps, extensions, and themes (not necessary at all) I'd like to re-install this extension but I need the dev to be more transparent on data usage
Useful.
looking good
Everything ive been looking for in a speed dial app i found here.
I'm really enjoying it !!! You can add things right from their Bookmark Manager to the folder you like :)
This is amazing extension!
Slow and clunky. Does not like to change boards between boards or show updates. When adding new bookmarks, it rarely puts them where I designate so I have to go find it later once it shows up and organize it.
So far really enjoying it -- I have trouble keeping track of my bookmarks normally, so having everything all laid out in one place and the auto save to inbox for new links has also been helping me stay on top of keeping them organized.
What an awesome app!! thanks for making it!!! ;-)
Finally found a new tab extension that automatically imports my old shortcuts! Sixth one I've tried before I found one that performs this obviously-needed function. Thank you!
I read all the reviews and it looks like a good bookmark organizer. I have lots bookmarks and every time I change computer or reinstall windows I make copy of the bookmarks, through course of the years I've accumulated so many copies but not willing to delete some just in case I've delete the incorrect one and years of research is gone. First few hours of using Papaly it was great, easy to drag around and create category, painful to delete the empty category tho. However, all the sudden the page stop refreshing, and led to [Application Error] page. When open a new page, it display the bookmark as it was just imported....all the work in the last few hours was gone. Further more it now stuck in [Updating to the latest version...] and if you click on the [Taking too long? click to refresh], it either goes to Application Error page or simply just close itself..I even created an account for it so it can save and sync....it didn't...sigh....I shall uninstall this and find something else...
This is just great !!! It's What I have been looking for. Thanks.
This is the most helpful thing I've found. It saved my life. Thank you to the Awesome Developers!! Papaly bookmark manager is a level above than the general bookmarks that comes with browsers. With all my bookmarks in one place in a one glance, I don't have to worry that I'm missing out on something. By recording every site that I found or may found helpful in the future. This helps me focus on what a browser is meant to be, a searching tool for finding variety of information. Once again thanks to all the people who are working behind this system for making a better day for us!
Amazing extension but If it has an offline system, that means, it will sync whenever it is online after working offline. Then it will be perfect in all respects.
Well organized, but sometimes when I click save to a certain board, it doesn't and automatically moves the site to speed dial. sometimes laggy, too
Awesome way to keep your bookmarks organized. Clean interface. Easy to use and customize.
Very good bookmark manager.
I think it is an excellent extension to save the websites that I like. Thanks

I typically have dozens of tabs open; Papaly is my cleanup tool. I've been using it since ~2016, and I've had a couple of instances where I had to rebuild. BUT overall, I'm not looking for much. Do NOT need one more social engagement tool; just need a clean way to organize my work.
Great app. Very helpful. Highly Recommend (which I do not do often).
Best of the field
Deleting bookmarks in Papaly doesn't delete them in Chrome.
Your site has an error hey.... Drag & Drop Organize your bookmarks by dragging links into categories. Modal doesn't close in chrome. Please fix that because you have refresh the page to remove it quite annoying
Has some issues but it's free and i love it!
This is the thing i was looking for very very long time. It's free and fully customizable.
Unable to export my tabs/bookmarks once I cleaned up all the links I wanted to discard and save. I wonder why I cannot export to save???
I love this extension. It has helped me get organized. The only problem is Chrome crashes so much,I forget to use it. Thanks.
I use it daily and couldn't be happier with how much more visibility I have to my bookmarks than the normal Chrome one.
Amazing extension to organise bookmarks
I did not know this exists. Guys! Keep this up. This is perhaps the greatest Bookmark manager one can find around. The capabilities to visually design the bookmarks in the right fashion under boards and categories, is simply amazing. I would think this is close to a knowledge management tool than simply bookmark manager. :-)
No other bookmark manager I have tried comes close to papaly. The only criticism that I have is that, barring straight up exporting the bookmarks to an HTML file, I have to rely on the papaly servers even if I want to use bookmarks I /wish/ i could use locally. Don't get me wrong, the shared bookmarks is amazing, the organization system is amazing, creating different boards with permissions is amazing, its the best bookmark extension I've ever used regardless of the complaint I have. Still gets five stars
Its OK
It is very good. My only problem is that sometimes it is slow to load and it doesn't run offline.
best in the world
The only way to refer back to your saved bookmarks is Bookmark Manager by Papaly.. At beginning it took 1 hour for me to arrange everything and now I feel so organized and less cluttered and now I'm able to quickly access my bookmarks etc.. BUT this extensions is SLOW: like when I shift from one board to the other the content remains same for at-least 10 second or forever to update that I need to manually click on reload button on the top-right.. If the above one issue is fixed then this will continue to be my forever favorite extension ?
It's very nice and extremely helpful I almost gave up on it when I first installed it... But it didn't take so long for me to get my way around it. Nice and great.
Useful but it always seem to be updating when I try to use it. About 30% of the instances I need it it's "checking the latest version" or something. I'm not sure if it's just me.
love it!
I couldnt live without it! this is the best thing since sliced bread, They need an IPHONE and Android App as well.
Works great, best extension for me! Thank you
great tool
just a great extension. Can not go wrong with Papaly, been using it several years now.
Absolute lifesaver!!!!
Most USELESS plugin. I tried loging in with Google, with Email, or without signing in. But nothing works. The signin window doesnt close and I cant even use the plugin.
i dont bother with the top left extension where it adds the page your on to papaly bc it doesnt work. Still annoyed that more often than not papaly claims to be updating to latest version but never loads. Can this please be fixed its really frustrating!
I've been waiting for chrome to offfer a better speed dail solution integrated with organization perfs. I've only started to use and deploy this extemsion but at this point I'm very optimistic. I'm looking forward to using this.
Hi, its too slow and late responding not customizable and some unncessay adds though it have a good desgin and good idea
Very helpful
so practical .i have been looking for it many days and finally i found it .
I need to sign up to papawhatshit website in order to use an extension? No, thanks...
I don't want my bookmark manager to take over the functionality of the new tab.
Hsl
It so helpful, great job developers.
Does not work, just keeps looking for an update
Great product, and would be interested in it more, but Google Chrome flagged their website as not secure, so I will not be using it.
Amazing extension. Easy to use, and easy to customize.
This extension makes it super easy to manage your bookmarks and create new ones. You can create categories so to organize your bookmarks and easy to find. SPLENDID!
I've been using this for years and it's absolutely phenomenal.
Excellent substitution for bookmark manager of EVERY browser.
Alright.
Great speed dial tab. Only giving 4 stars cause I would love more colors for the category, an easier better way to add custom wallpaper and to have more social accounts connected.
要是能有中文版的就好了。。。很好用。就是打开有点慢
Noting like it. Great app!
It is really nice to have my excessive bookmarks in an organized and personalized form.
I've been using Toby for awhile but decided to see what other options are out there because some things about it bugged me. Papaly works so much better for me. I write an environmental news blog and use a board to schedule posts. It's super handy to be able to add to a category for each day, then batch delete when everything for that day is posted. I also use it to develop research guides, so the ability to have parent and child categories have been incredibly useful. Very happy I found this tool.
PROS. Concept very good and useful. CONS. Application could be improved a lot. (I know it's free). - Multi-level Categories/references needed - Improved search facilities needed - Easier editing of Titles needed - Easier control of adding multiple related pages needed - Can't get rid of unwanted icons - Facebook, Twitter etc.
This is a very useful tool... Helps you keep everything organised...
Best of New Tab / Startpages for my workflow. Can sometimes be a little slow to respond with edits, but the customization/organization is excellent and above all others. So many new tab pages are all about being "simple" or "minimalistic," but I want to be able to easily access a wide variety of resources in an instant. Pro tip (hopefully): Use Tab.bz tab packager to save a whole window's worth of tabs and then paste that link into your Papaly pages. This way you can save multiple windows/sessions worth of research in links organized by category. (I just started doing this so I hope the workflow is as useful as I'm imagining it).
I had been searching for an offline extension where I could create boards with my bookmarks, and I definitely liked Papaly. But I remember you guys shot down your service for some reasons, thats when it hit us hard. When I came to know you Papaly is back in action, installed it again and started using it. But I don't have my last folder structure for some reasons. So please this time, don't go off the picture, as it's going to hit us hard with our lost bookmarks. If you, ever, need to shut down, kindly let us know in one month advance so we can track back all our boards and bookmarks in some excel or database software. Otherwise, if you are running, my five stars really means I loved it. Thank you!
Love it
Best tab manage tool I've ever used. Please don't shut down. I would love to be your paid member or donate the company.
This is the absolute best and most efficient method to be online. It is only getting better with a better device. You are able to bookmark in real-time to specific places on your board. Everything is in front you as your "homepage." What more could you ask for? Maybe some nicer background, possibly.
Doesn't work in Brave unfortunately.
Good extension make my daily work all easy, i love it. it fix all my url categorizing worries of long time
nice
Far too complicated, no drag and drop to move whole categories from one board to another
Very useful tool to help with organizing my book marks.
Tool is very smart. It helps to declutter my chrome.
This is the best bookmarking tool, hands down.
I use it all the time, only use this for my bookmarks. i can easily find by catrgory , or search any boookmerk i have. the best bookmark from the ones i tried.
I think Papaly works very well, and is indispensable to my business and life. Five stars for sure with me.
This has been a great product for me. I have had a couple of issues, but typically they are caused by chrome updates that are getting out of hand.
Awesome extension for saving links and curating lists of websites. I can't find anything comparable and I wish the developer would keep updating it.
It doesn't allow me to sign up and when I use my google account to login, it asks permission to manage my Youtube content. Such a weird thing. And it sets the home automatically to Papaly. Don't recommend to install this extension.
I have major bug which is I can not add new board(s), because everytime my mouse pointer want to click (+) on new board, the (+) icon just disappears. Fix it and it will be 5 star rating.
Cool
OH.MY. GOD. I thought I was just getting a bookmark manager, but this is a whole new world. I spend so much time looking for bookmarks, searching my history, and just basically hunting down tools i need for work. Thank you. This will save me hours a week.
