Armaria

Armaria are a kind of closed, labeled cupboards that were used for book storage in ancient times up till the middle ages.

Armaria is a new way to manage your bookmarks.

As it stands bookmarks are stored either in the cloud, in browser specific formats, or both. It doesn't have to be this way. Armaria stores bookmarks in a SQLite database. This means your bookmarks are local and stored in a single file. They can then be accessed with a myriad of clients including browsers.

You can sync this file across your devices how you would sync any other file. This allows you to share your bookmarks across many different devices and browsers without having to rely on a web service for something as simple as your bookmarks.
