Product Description:

SafariBookmarkChecker is a tool to help you manage the bookmarks you have stored for years.

It starts with reading the bookmarks from Safari (making a backup copy for safety), then let you do an extremely fast scan to detect bookmarks which have changed or are not available anymore.

Its main feature is speed! It can check over 1000 bookmarks in less than 2 minutes, a performance similar programs don't even come close.

From the main window, you can change the name and address of your bookmarks, or delete them if they are not available anymore.

There is no magic nor artificial intelligence in this software, so use it to quickly scan your bookmarks, then double check with your browser the availability of the addresses marked as invalid. A single click from the main window will open the selected bookmarks in your browser.

    SafariBookmarkChecker ReviewSo close! - Version: 1.30, 8/25/2007 10:46AM PST

    This app is so close to being perfect. In terms of checking the bookmarks to find whether they're valid, it does a beautiful job. For those having troubles with it reporting too many time outs or not found pages, I'd recommend adjusting the preferences. Move the top slider towards cool and the bottom slider toward a higher number. Unlike another similar app I was able to tweak these settings adequately to get excellent results.

    After that it falls apart a little. It's a little tedious and dangerous to go through the bookmarks it finds.

    First off, there's no undo! If you delete a bookmark accidentally, your only option is to close without saving and start over again.

    Second, there's not enough keyboard control. The app really needs the ability to move between bookmarks using the keyboard. A superfast shortcut to view the URLs would be nice too... I keep wanting to tap the right arrow key, like you can in NetNewsWire. Even better if I could also open the URLs in the background (again, like NetNewsWire)... This would allow me to go through the bad URLs very quickly.

    If it had those features I would gladly pay money for it! Throw in the ability to check for duplicate URLs and I'd pay even more.

    The majority of the "not found" bookmarks were in fact perfectly valid when visited.

    Not helpful to me.
