Is this a bookmark manager?

Yes — with shareable visual collections, screenshots, tags, and notes. It's built for people who want one link others can open, not just a private folder in the browser.

Can I save screenshots without a URL?

Yes. Upload a screenshot on Add Ref — great for Instagram saves, PDF snippets, or anything without a clean link.

Can my partner add links without an account?

Yes. Share your Lyst with Anyone can contribute enabled. They pick a name and start saving — no sign-up required.

How is this different from browser bookmarks?

Browser bookmarks are private, text-only, and hard to share. ReferLyst gives you image previews, topics, collaboration, and one link you can send to anyone.

Is there a browser extension?

Use the free bookmarklet — drag it to your toolbar for one-click saves. It opens Add Ref with the current page URL pre-filled.

Yes. Create a free account, save links and screenshots, and use the bookmarklet. Upgrade to Pro when you need higher item limits or analytics.

Solutions/Platform

The problem

Sound familiar? These are the pain points people search for before they find a better way.

Bookmarks live in a private folder nobody else can see
Inspiration screenshots pile up in your camera roll with no context
Shared research means forwarding URLs in a chat thread you can't search
Most link savers stop at personal storage — sharing means exports or screenshots
You juggle a bookmark app, a wishlist, and a group doc for the same trip

What you get

Paste links or upload screenshots

Add Ref pulls title, image, and description from any URL — or save a screenshot when there's no link.

Visual collections with topics

Group saves into sections — Trips, Recipes, Shopping, Research — on a Lyst that looks good on mobile.

Tags, notes & categories

Tag saves, add why you saved it, and pick a type — inspiration, product, article, vendor, and more.

Bookmarklet one-click save

Drag Save to ReferLyst to your bookmarks bar and capture the page you're on without copy-paste.

Share one link — collaborators join free

Send your Lyst to a partner or group. They add and check off without an account; their items don't count against your plan.

Picks explore feed

Opt in to show inspiration saves on Discover — real curators, not an algorithm feed.
