Retired URLflows for Individuals has been retired. It stays on the Chrome Web Store and keeps working, but it won't get any more updates — everything we build now goes into the greatly improved Team Bookmarks by URLflows, which does all of this plus bookmarks shared across your devices and your teammates. Do move over when you can 🙂

Getting Started

What URLflows for Individuals does

URLflows for Individuals is a development & engineering sidebar that lives in your browser — built for granular control over how and where your links open. It's private, free, forever.

The short version

URLflows for Individuals turns your bookmarks from a flat dropdown into organized, launch-ready sections. Every link can open exactly where and how you want it — in a new tab, a sized window, an app-mode window, or pinned to a specific tab position.

Who it's for

  • Developers juggling docs, dashboards, and tooling across multiple windows.
  • Writers and researchers who live in the browser and want predictable setups.
  • Anyone who resets their tabs throughout the day and wants that reset to take one click.

Why it exists

Browsers treat every bookmark the same — a URL and a title. But the way you use a bookmark varies: a design doc might belong in an app-mode window, a dashboard might need a specific size, and a standup link only matters between 9 and 10am. URLflows for Individuals lets you encode those preferences once and launch them on demand.

Has URLflows for Individuals been retired?

Yes. This was the first generation of URLflows. It will stay on the Chrome Web Store and your sections stay on your own machine, but it won't get any more updates.

Team Bookmarks is where all of our work now goes — and it's a considerably better product. It does everything this sidebar does and adds what a local-only sidebar can't: the same bookmarks on every device you use, and a bar you can share with teammates — or keep entirely to yourself. Export a backup of your sections, then move over 🙂
