Feature Requests

Need to be able to manually order bookmarks within a collection.

I'd like to be able to use Anybox on two machines while hiding different results from the Quick Find list on each one. For example: company resources would not show on my home machine, and personal items would not show on my work one, but interesting articles related to my work appear in both. This can be achieved by using Alfred or Raycast to open a Smart List by URL , however currently this lacks the ability to filter the resulting list any further by tag or filter, because of the limitation described in Support hierarchies in Quick Find . There might still be some value in a first-class solution, like a setting to define the scope of items in Quick Find (1Password's browser extension does this), or some Profiles feature (although that would involve duplicating items in my case.) Relates to: Hide and Show Private Section

I'd like to be able to use the Quick Find to traverse a tree of items in that have have been arranged with nested Tags or Folders. Currently the experience of going one level down is limited, as described in Expand scope of tag filters to include items tagged with sub tags The limitation is particularly pronounced in the case of folders, where "opening" a folder from Quick Find, or navigating to anybox://quick-find?folder=<ID> produces a list of results that excludes all sub-folders and descendants of sub-folders. I'd like to propose the following: When tags or folders are included as Quick Find results, "opening" the item should produce another Quick Find window that also includes tags/folders that descend from the opened item Always flatten the tree of tagged items: when the "show tags in Quick Find results" setting is enabled, sub-tags are included in results along with the items they're applied to When included as Quick Find results, tags are always fully-qualified: # Parent > Sub > Tag Flatten the tree of folder-organized items only when the "show folders in Quick Find results" setting is disabled: if a folder is shown in results, it's children are hidden until the user "opens" the folder When included as Quick Find results, folders display relative to the current scope: / Parent / Sub / Folder , / Sub / Folder or Folder I hope that makes sense! I can write up some examples if that would help.

Great you can export the bookmarks as a JSON. Would really appreciate being able to export the archived files too. The archives are very precious to me and want to do backups. Might be difficult with cloudkit db, but even just the path to the cached file in the JSON export would be useful. Also a "Shortcuts" action to dump a JSON backup would be great.

The last feature I really miss moving out of apple notes, google keep, raindrop is the ability to search for text in images and pdf. My use case involves using Anybox both as an inbox and archive.

In my ideal use case, filtering by “parent” tags would always turn up items tagged with their sub tags as well. Currently, lists you get when you click a top level tag at the main menu will show you items tagged with the selected tag AND its sub tags, but this behavior does not seem to extend to filters. Modifying filter behavior to match would be great, and could always be an optional preference set by the user at filter creation. I imagine an additional list item under “Filters” -> “Conditions” by which the user can toggle whether their filter will “Include Subtags of Selected” or not. As an example, say I have a #media tag with the children #video and #audio, as well as a top level tag for #research. I may want to see all overlap between #research and #media without selecting every child of #media when I create a filter, or updating a saved “media” filter whenever I create a new sub tag for #media.

The workflow for tagging in the browser extension is overly cumbersome. IT would be awesome if it was an inline text input/combo box where you can quickly typeahead and press enter to assign multiple tags, etc.

I see iCloud syncing as method of backup, if a computer fails, Anybox can be restored from iCloud sync. I see mentioned in https://anybox.canny.io/feature-requests/p/alternative-syncing-method that an alternative sync method is not practical. In situations where someone cannot log into an iCloud account, this feature becomes unavailable. A possible alternative in this case could be a scheduled export (as json) to a specific location on the computer, then this location could be backed up through other means.

Can we get any option to sort the folders in the sidebar by A to Z. And to do this to all your folders and subfolders at once. Or sort just ones you select. Say you just want to sort A to Z just the subfolders in a folder.

It would be great for any folder you create to have RSS feature and share. So whatever you saved to those folders; URL, social media posts (X, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok etc.), YouTube videos, etc. could all be viewed in your preferred RSS reader. In my case that's Reeder 5. This way I can go about my day saving links to a particular Anybox folder, any folder. And then view the content at my leisure in Reeder 5. And it would be nice to share folders with people. Say I've a bunch of articles in a folder that I want to share with some friends. A link generates that I can give to anyone. And they can view it via the web. This might be a lot to ask. But thanks for Anybox, I'm loving it!
