What is Anybox?

Anybox is a bookmark manager written in Swift for Mac, iPhone and iPad, and it pitches itself as a replacement for the browser's own bookmarks rather than a read-later queue. Saving happens from wherever you already are: the system share menu on both platforms, browser extensions, a Quick Save command that grabs the current tab's details without opening the app, and a keyboard extension on iPhone and iPad. A floating dock keeps your most-used links one click away. Beyond links it stores images, files and notes, and it can archive a saved page as a PDF, Web Archive or screenshot so the content survives the original going offline. It also hooks into the tools Apple power users already run - Raycast, Alfred, PopClip and SingleFile - which is unusual for an app this small.

Key features

Where it saves to

Anybox's own library, synced across Mac, iPhone and iPad · Archived copies as PDF, Web Archive or screenshot

Pricing

The free tier holds 50 links and 12 links on the floating dock, and includes Quick Find and Quick Save. Pro lifts both caps - unlimited links and 30 dock links - at $1.99 a month, $14.99 a year, or $39.99 as a lifetime purchase, currently discounted from $59.99. The lifetime option pays for itself against the yearly plan in under three years and is the reason to prefer Anybox over a subscription-only rival.

Best for

People living entirely on Apple hardware who want bookmarks that feel native rather than a web app in a wrapper, and who would rather buy a tool outright than rent it. The 50-link free tier is a trial in practice.

Pros

  • Lifetime purchase at $39.99 - no subscription required
  • Genuinely native on Mac, iPhone and iPad rather than a wrapped web app
  • Archives pages three ways, so saved links survive link rot
  • Hooks into Raycast, Alfred, PopClip and SingleFile

Cons

  • Apple platforms only - no Windows, Android or web client
  • Free tier's 50-link cap is reached quickly in real use
  • Bookmarks stay in Anybox's own library; there is no Notion or Sheets destination

FAQ

Is Anybox free?

There is a free tier capped at 50 links and 12 dock links, with Quick Find and Quick Save included. It works indefinitely, but 50 links is low enough that most people treat it as a trial before buying Pro.

Does Anybox need a subscription?

No. Pro is sold monthly at $1.99 and yearly at $14.99, but there is also a $39.99 lifetime purchase, discounted from $59.99. That one-time option is rare among bookmark managers still being actively developed.

Can Anybox save a copy of the page?

Yes - it archives a saved link as a PDF, a Web Archive or a screenshot. That means the content is still readable after the original page changes or disappears, which a plain bookmark cannot promise.

Does Anybox work on Windows or Android?

No. It is built with Swift and Apple's native frameworks for Mac, iPhone and iPad only. If you need the same library on Windows or Android, Raindrop.io is the closest cross-platform equivalent in this directory.
