Safari Cleaner

Bookmarks, decluttered — one at a time.

Mac app + Safari extension · Requires macOS 14 or later


What it does

Two ways to deal with a bookmark bar that's gotten out of hand.

Duplicate detection

Scans your whole bookmarks file, groups entries that point at the same normalized URL, and shows every duplicate side by side.

One-at-a-time review

The Safari Swipe extension overlays a slim bar at the top of every page with the next bookmark queued up — Keep or Delete, no folder-diving required.

Snooze, don't lose

Keeping a bookmark re-queues it 30 days later instead of marking it done forever, so review stays a habit, not a one-time purge.

Reading List aware

Understands and preserves Safari's Reading List folder so cleanup never touches items you've saved to read later.

Undo everything

Every duplicate-resolution and full-review pass is snapshotted, so a bad Delete is always one click from being reversed.

Dismiss without deciding

Not ready to judge a bookmark? Dismiss the bar for the rest of the session without changing anything.
