ExtraBar gets a Full Bookmark Manager integrated, and an Honest Conversation About What's Next

Hey Product Hunt

Took me a while to find some time and write here.

The last few weeks have been full of work. Between reading about ClawBot and the new "AI breakthrough", my brain is overwhelmed, but it is time to refocus and continue the hard work on our apps.

Since my last update, 415 users have made ExtraBar part of their workflow.

Some of you replaced entire apps with it. That still blows my mind.

The number of staff our user has with ExtraBar is amazing.

One of them published this post:

It's amazing to see how much can be done with it.

But today I want to tell you about something bigger than a version bump.

We built a full bookmark manager. And we put it inside ExtraBar.

Meet Shiori

What started as a simple bookmark widget turned into something much bigger.

Shiori is a native bookmark manager that lives right in your ExtraBar menu bar.

Save, organize, search, and open bookmarks without having an extra app on your Mac.

It's not a browser extension. It's not a web app. It's a proper native macOS experience built into ExtraBar.

Here's what it does:

- Quick Save from the menu bar - Add bookmarks without interrupting what you're doing

- Folders, tags, and saved filters - Organize however you like

- Full-text search - Find any bookmark instantly by title, URL, tag, or description

- Import from everywhere - Browser HTML exports, Raindrop.io, Pocket, Pinboard, JSON, CSV

- Export your data - JSON, CSV, or browser-compatible HTML. Your data is always yours

- Offline access - Everything cached locally for instant loading

- Multi-device sync - Your bookmarks follow you across Macs

- Keyboard-first - Global hotkey to launch, do whatever you like without leaving your keyboard.

There is so much more to come,

And 40 users have already started using Shiori since we launched it.

Why We Put It Inside ExtraBar

Two reasons, and I want to be transparent about both.

First: we want to bring as much value as possible to our users.

ExtraBar is about removing friction. A bookmark manager that lives in your menu bar, right next to your apps and actions, fits perfectly. You shouldn't need a separate app for this.

Second: native integration.

Shiori isn't just "another bookmark manager that happens to be in ExtraBar." It shares the same widget system, the same keyboard navigation, and the same design language. One experience, not two apps duct-taped together.

Shiori will become a fully standalone app in the future. But we wanted ExtraBar users to get it first.

The Honest Part

Here's something I don't see enough founders talk about.

ExtraBar is a one-time payment. Lifetime license. No subscription. That's my philosophy with all my apps, and I'm not changing it.

But building high-quality software isn't free. As a bootstrapped team, we need to make our income sources consistent to stay independent and keep building.

So Shiori has a free tier and premium tiers:

- Free - 500 bookmarks, 50 tags, 10 folders. Enough for most people

- Professional - Unlimited everything, multi-device sync. €1.99/month or €24/year

- Pro Plus - Everything plus upcoming AI auto-tagging. €4.99/month or €59/year (Still in development)

This is a new model we're validating.

ExtraBar stays one-time payment. Shiori adds optional premium features on top.

We're not hiding behind corporate language here.

This is us trying to build something sustainable so we can keep shipping quality tools without taking VC money or putting ads in your menu bar.

If this model works, it means more features, more tools, and more value for everyone.

If it doesn't, we'll figure something else out.

But we'll always be honest about it.

What Else Is New

Two updates since my last post. Both are packed with improvements.

v1.2.3 - Power at Your Fingertips

- Keyboard Shortcut Actions: A new action type that sends keyboard shortcuts to apps. Configure any key + modifier combo and fire it with a single click

- Move & Copy Items Between Presets: Batch operations with multi-select

- Inline Action Parameters: Fewer clicks, faster setup

- Clickable List Rows: Click anywhere to open settings, no more hunting for icons

- Tons of UI polish across widget editors, folder settings, and keyboard navigation

What's Next

We're not slowing down.

Shiori is getting more features. ExtraBar is getting more powerful. The task board is full.

Our goal is simple: build tools we actually want to use, and bring them to you at a fair price.

Thank You

To everyone who tried ExtraBar, sent feedback, or told a friend: you're the reason we keep building.

415 users. 40 already on Shiori. Every number is a person who trusted us with their workflow.

We don't take that lightly.

What do you think about Shiori? What features would make it better for you?
