LinkSweep

Is your Safari bookmark library a mess? LinkSweep is the professional-grade utility designed to clean, organize, and validate your Mac bookmarks with total privacy. Over time, libraries accumulate broken links, duplicates, and empty folders. LinkSweep scans your library locally to ensure your bookmarks are fast, functional, and perfectly organized. KEY FEATURES: Customizable Validation Engine Automatically scan your entire library to detect broken links (404 errors), server timeouts, and dead websites. NEW: You are now in control—customise how LinkSweep classifies network responses. Decide exactly which errors should be flagged for review and which should be marked as failures. Duplicate Remover Find identical URLs hidden across different folders. LinkSweep groups them together so you can "Resolve" them with a single click, keeping the best version and removing the clutter. Folder Organization Identify and remove empty folders that clog up your sidebar. Easily merge folders or move bookmarks using our intuitive, native macOS drag-and-drop interface. The Safety Net We know how important your data is. LinkSweep creates an encrypted, local backup every time you import or validate. If you make a mistake, you can restore your entire library—or just a single bookmark—instantly from the internal backup manager. Private by Design LinkSweep is a "Local-First" application. • No accounts or subscriptions required. • No cloud servers. • Zero tracking or analytics. • Your bookmarks and browsing history never leave your Mac. Additional Features: • Native macOS Experience: Full support for Dark Mode and System Menu Bar integration. • Wayback Machine Integration: Discover what a dead link used to be before it disappeared. • Redirect Resolution: Automatically resolve and update shortened links (bit.ly, t.co) to their final destinations. • Stealth Mode: Customise concurrency and scan speed to avoid being blocked by website bot-protectors. • Secure Storage: All app data and backups are encrypted at rest using AES-256.
