About Bookmarks Validator
Analyzes a desktop browser's exported bookmarks HTML file for invalid URLs. The resultant invalid bookmarks HTML file, annotated with reason-invalid messages, is used to manually correct the browser’s bookmarks. At any time, the bookmarks file and the invalid bookmarks result file can be inspected. The in-progress validation process can be aborted. Features: * Supports bookmark HTML files exported by the Safari, Firefox, Chrome, Brave and Opera desktop browsers. * Bookmarks files can be accessed from the iOS app's Documents folder, a macOS Downloads folder or the user's iCloud Drive. * Can display any exported Bookmarks file and any generated validation results file. * Can e-mail the invalid HTML file as an attachment and/or print it. Likewise for any exported Bookmarks file. * Quick Guide provides a quick way to learn how to use the app. * Quick Tour of app that demonstrates its features and how to use them; viewable on-demand. * Detailed User Guide on how to use the app; includes a list of Frequently Ask Questions (FAQs). User Guide can be searched. * Help Tips to guide and remind user how to proceed. * Ability to send e-mail to the developer to report an issue and get back a solution, ask usage questions and/or make improvement suggestions. * Optionally request to rate the app in the App Store. * Supports dark mode. Note: Browser bookmarks files need to be placed in a "Bookmarks Validator" folder. On an iOS device, this folder resides in the Documents folder. On a macOS device, this folder resides in the Downloads folder. On iCloud, it resides in the iCloud Drive. The User's Guide provides instructions on how to set this up.
What’s new
Version 4.0.0 · Updated February 12, 2026
1. Compatible with iOS 18+, iOS 26+ and macOS 26+ 2. Now requires iOS 16+ 3. Starting with iOS 18 and on into iOS 26 and with later versions of macOS Sequoia on into Tahoe, the app no longer scaled, i.e., properly processed 400-500+ bookmarks. Validation is now performed using Apple's modern concurrency model and properly scales. It has successfully processed a Bookmarks file containing 9400+ URLs. 4. If you have any issues, e-mail them to [email protected] to get them resolved. We welcome suggestions for improving the app.
