How to add a bookmarklet in Mobile Safari

By Charlie Sorrel • 12:00 pm, September 5, 2017

Bookmarklets are those little bookmarks you click to run mini “apps” in your web browser. You might have one that saves the current page to your Instapaper account, or one that launches a Google search focused only on the current site. Bookmarklets can translate highlighted text on a page, send something to your to-do list, or pretty much anything. On the Mac, installing a bookmarklet is easy. You just drag it to the bookmarks bar in Safari and you’re done. On iOS, though, it’s still a real pain.

So, bookmark this how-to (in the usual way), and have it handy for those times you need to install a bookmarklet on an iPhone or iPad.

The easiest way to install a bookmarklet on your iOS device is to use a Mac. If you use iCloud to sync bookmarks between your devices, then you just drag the bookmarklet (or regular bookmark) to Safari’s bookmark bar on the Mac, and wait a few moments for it to appear on your iPad or iPhone. If you don’t have a Mac handy, things are a little more involved.

Install a bookmarklet on iOS Mobile Safari

A bookmarklet contains Javascript. It is, in effect, a tiny computer program that is run whenever you click it. The Javascript itself is written out in regular text, and stored in in the URL field of a normal bookmark. When you click that bookmark, instead of just launching the URL of a webpage, it launches the Javascript. That’s the only difference. So, to save a bookmarklet, you have to somehow copy-and-paste the Javascript into the bookmark’s URL field. Thankfully, it’s easier than it sounds. For this example, we’ll add a bookmarklet that saves to your Instapaper account .

Step 1. Create a bookmark

This part is easy. You just tap the Share Arrow on any web page, and give it a good name. “Save to Instapaper” is a good choice, or just “Instapaper” if you’re running out of space up there. Make sure to save it in your Favorites folder so it appears in the bookmarks bar on the iPad.

Step 2. Copy the Javascript to your clipboard

This should be provided on the web page. You have to tap the text box, then tap Select All , then tap Copy . It will look something like the screenshot above. Get the current code from the Instapaper page .

Step 3. Edit the bookmark you just created

This is the fiddly part. Tap the little Bookmarks icon in Safari, then tap Edit. Then find the bookmark you just saved in step 1, the one you named “Save to Instapaper,” or similar. Tap that bookmark, and you’ll see the screen in the image below.

The bit we’re interested is the second row, the one that begins with https://. Tap that, then tap the little x that appears to clear it. Then tap the now-empty field, and paste in the Javascript you copied in Step 2, then hit Done , and find your way back the browser.

Enjoy one-click action

That’s it. Anytime you want to save the current page to Instapaper, you just call up this bookmarklet and tap it. Some bookmarklets will require an extra step to get working — you need to be signed into your Instapaper account for this one to work, for example. Others, like the Google Translate bookmarklet, just work.

It’s still way easier to switch to a Mac to do this. Even iOS 11, with its system-wide drag-and-drop, doesn’t allow you to drag bookmarks to the bookmarks bar. Still, at least this method is fully-functional, despite being a bit of a pain.

Bookmarklet Installation Guide: Safari (Mac OS)

You should simply be able to drag the link below into your bookmarks:

Analyze on ReviewMeta.com!

Here’s the code:

Back to “ ReviewMeta.com Bookmarklet: An Extension Alternative ”

Detailed Installation Guide:

2. Drag the link (“Analyze on ReviewMeta.com!”) directly into your bookmarks.

3. Now navigate to any Amazon product page.  Click the “Analyze on ReviewMeta.com!” bookmark and the report will be opened in a new tab.

4. You may have to enable pop-ups in order to see the report.  Our bookmarklet is designed to open the report in a new window.  Click “Safari” -> “Preferences” -> “Security” and uncheck the “Block pop-up windows” checkbox.

Unfortunately there is no way to add an exception to a single site; Safari’s pop-up blocker is an all-or-nothing option.  Maybe try writing to Apple or switching to another browser like Chrome or Firefox.

Bookmarklets explained, where to find bookmarklets, how to install a bookmarklet, how to use a bookmarklet.

Web browser bookmarklets allow you to perform actions on the current page with just a click or tap. They're a lightweight alternative to browser extensions. They even work on mobile browsers that don't support traditional extensions.

To use bookmarklets, all you need is a web browser that supports bookmarks -- that's it!

Web pages you view in your browser use JavaScript code. That's why web pages aren't just static documents anymore -- they're dynamic. A bookmarklet is a normal bookmark with a piece of JavaScript code instead of a web address. When you click or tap the bookmarklet, it will execute the JavaScript code on the current page instead of loading a different page, as most bookmarks do.

Bookmarklets can be used to do something to a web page with a single click. For example, you'll find bookmarklets associated with web services like Twitter, Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, Pocket, and LastPass. When you click the bookmarklet, it will run code that lets you easily share the current page with that service.

Bookmarklets don't just have to be  associated with web services. A bookmarklet you click could modify the appearance of the page, stripping away most of the junk and giving you a clean "reading mode." It could alter fonts, remove images, or insert other content. It can access anything the web page could access. For example, you could use a bookmarklet to reveal a password that just appears as ******* on the page.

Unlike browser extensions, bookmarklets don't run in the background and bog down your browser. They don't do anything at all until you click them.

Because they just use the standard bookmark system, they can also be used in mobile browsers where you couldn't run extensions. For example, you could install the Pocket bookmarklet in Safari on an iPad and get an "Add to Pocket" option in Safari. Safari doesn't offer browsing extensions and Apple's iOS doesn't offer a "Share" feature like Android and Windows 8 do, so this is the only way to get this direct integration. You could even use the LastPass bookmarklets in Safari on an iPad to integrate LastPass with the Safari web browser.

If you're looking for a bookmarklet for a particular service, you'll generally find the bookmarklet on that service's site. Websites like Twitter, Facebook, and Pocket host pages where they provide bookmarklets along with browser extensions.

Bookmarklets aren't like programs. They're really just a piece of text that you can put in a bookmarklet, so you don't have to download them a specific site. You can get them from practically anywhere -- installing them just involves copying a bit of text off of a web page.

For example, you can just search the web for "reveal password bookmarklet" if you wanted a bookmarklet that will reveal passwords. We've covered many of the must-have bookmarklets -- and our readers have chimed in too -- so take a look at our lists for more examples.

Bookmarklets are simple to install. When you hover over a bookmarklet on a web page, you'll see its address begins with "javascript:".

If you have your web browser's bookmark or favorites toolbar visible, the easiest way to install a bookmarklet is with drag-and-drop. Press Ctrl+Shift+B to show your bookmarks toolbar if you're using Chrome or Internet Explorer. In Firefox, right-click the toolbar and click Bookmarks Toolbar.

Just drag and drop this link to your bookmark toolbar. The bookmarklet is now installed.

You can also install bookmarklets manually. Select the bookmarklet's code and copy it to your clipboard. If the bookmarklet is a link, right-click or long-press the link and copy its address to your clipboard.

Open your browser's bookmarks manager, add a bookmark, and paste the JavaScript code directly into the address box. Give your bookmarklet a name and save it.

Bookmarklets are easiest to use if you have your browser's bookmarks toolbar enabled. Just click the bookmarklet and your browser will run it on the current page.

If you don't have a bookmarks toolbar -- such as on Safari on an iPad or another mobile browser -- just open your browser's bookmarks pane and tap or click the bookmark.

In mobile Chrome, you'll need to launch the bookmarklet from the location bar. Open the web page you want to run the bookmarklet on, tap your location bar, and start searching for the name of the bookmarklet. Tap the bookmarklet's name to run it on the current page.

Note that the bookmarklet only appears here because we have it saved as a bookmark in Chrome. You'll need to add the bookmarklet to your browser's bookmarks before you can use it in this way.

The location bar approach may also be necessary in other browsers. The trick is loading the bookmark so that it will be associated with your current tab. You can't just open your bookmarks in a separate browser tab and run the bookmarklet from there -- it will run on that other browser tab.

Bookmarklets are powerful and flexible. While they're not as flashy as browser extensions, they're much more lightweight and allow you to get extension-like features in more limited mobile browsers.

Bookmarks and Favorites in Safari are easy ways to keep track of interesting sites you want to visit again later and your favorite sites you visit often. Bookmarks and Favorites have similar, but slightly different, purposes.

Use bookmarks to save links for sites you want to visit again later. Use Favorites to store links to a select few sites you visit often or every time you open Safari.

We'll explain how to manage your bookmarks and Favorites in Safari so you can make the best use of them and keep them organized.

Managing Bookmarks in Safari

Browser bookmarks can quickly get out of hand, especially if you bookmark a lot of sites. So it's a good idea to start organizing your bookmarks into folders early on to keep them under control. But it's never too late to get organized. It just might take a while if you have a large, unorganized collection of bookmarks.

How to Create Bookmark and Favorites Folders

Before adding a bookmark for a site, create a folder to put the bookmark in. First, click Show sidebar , or press Cmd + Control + 1 .

Make sure the Bookmarks button is selected (blue) at the top of the sidebar. Either right-click or Control -click anywhere in the sidebar and select New Folder .

Your Favorites are at the top of this sidebar and you can also use this method for creating Favorites folders.

Enter a name for the folder and press Enter .

To create a new folder in the Bookmarks editor, click New Folder in the upper-right corner of the page.

If you want to add multiple existing bookmarks to a new folder, select the bookmarks and hold down Option as you click New Folder . The selected bookmarks are added to the new folder that you can rename as mentioned above.

How to Add Bookmarks

To add a new bookmark and customize the name, description, and location, click the Share button in the upper-right corner of Safari. Select Add Bookmark .

This enters a default name for the bookmark based on the website title. But you can change the name if you want.

You can also add an optional description for the bookmark, which helps you remember why you bookmarked a page in the first place.

The first time you add a bookmark in Safari, the default folder is Favorites . We'll talk about adding Favorites later. For now, we're going to add the bookmark to the new folder we created above.

Select the folder from the Add this page to dropdown list and click Add . The folder you select becomes the default folder next time you add a bookmark.

To quickly add a bookmark, move your mouse over the address bar. Click and hold the plus icon on the left side of the box.

Select a bookmarks folder from the dropdown list. Safari adds a bookmark with the default name of the page to the selected folder. We'll show you how to edit a bookmark later.

You can also add the page to your Favorites by selecting Favorites or a Favorites folder.

How to Move and Copy Bookmarks and Folders

If you already have a bunch of bookmarks , you can organize them into folders or rearrange them.

Drag the bookmark to a folder or another location on the sidebar. To copy a bookmark instead of moving it, hold down the Option key while you drag it.

This method also works for rearranging Favorites.

How to Rename Bookmarks and Folders

To rename a bookmark or folder, right-click or Control -click on an item in the sidebar and select Rename . You can also force-click to rename. To do this, click and hold on the item until its text highlights.

If you're in the Bookmarks editor, select the bookmark or folder you want to rename, and press Enter .

Enter a new name or change the current one, and press Enter to accept your changes.

This also works for renaming Favorites.

How to Edit the URL for a Bookmark

Safari contains a Bookmarks editor that allows you to edit and delete your bookmarks and Favorites. Go to Bookmarks > Edit Bookmarks .

Use the same method we described for renaming bookmarks to change the Address for a bookmark or Favorite. The editor also allows you to edit Website names, but you can't add bookmarks or Favorites in the editor.

How to Edit the Description for a Bookmark

You might want to add descriptions to your bookmarks, so you know why you saved the link to that page. If you forgot to do that for some of your existing bookmarks, you can edit their descriptions.

You can only edit the description for a bookmark on the sidebar, and only if the bookmark is in a folder. This is another good reason for putting bookmarks into folders.

To edit the description for a bookmark, double-click the folder containing the bookmark on the sidebar to expand it. Then, Control -click the bookmark you want to edit and select Edit Description .

The description is highlighted, allowing you to enter new text.

How to Delete Bookmarks

If your bookmarks are cluttered, you may want to delete old ones you don't use anymore.

On the sidebar, either right-click or Control -click the bookmark you want to delete and select Delete .

To delete multiple bookmarks, Cmd -click the bookmarks and press the Delete key.

You can also click and hold on the bookmark's name until it's highlighted. Then click the X to the right of the name.

Both methods also work for deleting Favorites.

How to Search Through Your Bookmarks

If you have a lot of bookmarks, you might find it hard to locate a certain one, even if you've organized them into folders. Thankfully, Safari allows you to search through your bookmarks.

Enter the text you want to search for in the search box at the top of the sidebar or in the upper-right corner of the Bookmarks editor. On the sidebar, you might have to scroll up to see the search box.

Results of the search display as you type. Click on the bookmark to open the page in the current tab.

To clear the search and go back to the full list of bookmarks, click the X button on the right side of the search box.

How to Import Bookmarks From Chrome or Firefox

Have you switched to Safari from Chrome or Firefox ? You can easily import your bookmarks from either browser into Safari.

Go to File > Import From > Google Chrome or File > Import From > Firefox . Check the Bookmarks box on the dialog box and click Import .

You can do this at any time, even if you've imported bookmarks already.

Safari is smart enough to know which bookmarks you've already imported from Chrome or Firefox. So if you import bookmarks again, you'll only get new ones you added to the other browsers. Or if you've deleted some bookmarks you imported, you'll get those back the next time you import.

The bookmarks and folders from Chrome or Firefox are imported at the root level on the sidebar. Use the methods we covered above to rename and rearrange bookmarks and folders, edit descriptions, or delete any imported bookmarks you don't want.

How to Import Bookmarks From an HTML File

You might want to import your bookmarks into a separate folder automatically, so you can keep them separate from the bookmarks you already had in Safari.

You can accomplish this by importing bookmarks from an HTML file, which you can export from Firefox or Chrome. See our guide to exporting Chrome bookmarks for info on this.

Go to File > Import From > Bookmarks HTML File . Then select the HTML file you want to import and click Import .

The imported bookmarks are put into a folder titled Imported with the current date.

Managing Favorites in Safari

The Favorites bar sits just below the address bar at the top of the Safari window. It provides quick access to sites you visit often.

You can only specify one web page as your homepage. But what if you want to open multiple pages every time you open Safari? You can add your favorite pages to your Favorites and have quick access to them when you open Safari.

How to Show the Favorites Bar

Safari stores favorites on the sidebar and in the Bookmarks editor, as we showed you earlier. You can also access them on the Favorites bar.

If you don't see the Favorites bar under the address bar, click Toggle the favorites bar on the toolbar, go to View > Show Favorites Bar , or press Cmd + Shift + B .

Only a certain number of sites will fit on the Favorites bar, so it's best to limit the number of pages you add to your Favorites.

How to View the Favorites Page on the Current Tab

If you want to view and access your Favorites as thumbnails, you can open the Favorites page on the current tab. Go to Bookmarks > Show Favorites .

If you don't see Show Favorites as the first option on the Bookmarks menu, you must make a change in Safari's settings . Go to Safari > Preferences . On the General screen, select Favorites from the New windows open with popup menu.

Your Favorites are available as thumbnails on the current tab.

How to View the Favorites Page on a New Tab

If you want access to Favorites page when you open a new tab, go to Safari > Preferences .

On the General screen, select Favorites from the New tabs open with popup menu. New tabs will now display the Favorites page, which includes Frequently Visited sites at the bottom. We'll show you how to hide the Frequently Visited sites section later.

How to View Favorites From the Smart Search Box

Use the Smart Search box, or address bar, as a quick way to access your Favorites page without leaving the current web page.

Click in the address bar to open the Favorites in a popup window. Then click the icon for the page you want to visit. The Favorites popup window goes away and the selected page opens on the current tab.

How to Change the Bookmarks Folder on the Favorites Page

By default, the Favorites page shows all your Favorites and the folders under Favorites. But you can change this to show only the Favorites in a Favorites folder or a folder of bookmarks.

Go to Safari > Preferences . On the General screen, select the folder you want to view from the Favorites shows popup menu.

The selected folder displays when you open the Favorites page on a new tab or from the Smart Search box.

How to Show/Hide Frequently Visited Sites in Favorites

If you don't want to see Frequently Visited sites at the bottom of the Favorites page, you can hide them.

Go to Bookmarks > Show Frequently Visited in Favorites . When the option does not have a check mark in front of it, you won't see the Frequently Visited sites on the Favorites page.

How to Open Your Favorites in Tabs When You Open Safari

If you visit the same pages every time you open Safari, you can add these pages to your Favorites and have them open in separate tabs when you open a new window.

To do this, set up your Favorites using the methods described earlier. Then go to Safari > Preferences .

On the General screen, select Tabs for Favorites in the New windows open with dropdown list.

Keep Track of Your Favorite Pages in Safari

Safari already offers great tools in the bookmarks and Favorites features. And they'll help you keep your favorite and important pages organized.

But if you want other options for managing your bookmarks, you can look through some great Safari extensions for bookmark management .

Thanks for this info. So How do you MAKE a custom icon for your bookmark favorites toolbar in Safari?

Yes, I know about “favicons” and copy/past emojis from iChat or such into the toolbar from “Edit Bookmarks.” I have a bunch up there already. But if you have, for example, an organization with a logo, that makes more sense to show than having or abbreviating “Acme Plastics Composite and Recomposting Development Technologies Of the Puget Sound” or even “APCRCFTPS”… How about just the logo? That saves an enormous amount of real estate. How do you do that? No article even mentions anything about “customization” except how to move stuff around your toolbar. Thanks!

iOS 18: How to Use Safari's New Highlights Feature

Safari in iOS 18 introduces a new feature called Highlights, which is designed to enhance your browsing experience by intelligently surfacing key information from webpages. The tool uses machine learning to identify and extract the most relevant details, and present them to you in an easily accessible format.

The feature is particularly useful for various types of content:

• For businesses and locations, it can display address details, operating hours, and quick access to directions.
• When browsing pages about people, it might show brief biographical information.
• For entertainment content, it can offer direct links to play songs or summarize reviews for movies and TV shows.

Highlights aims to streamline your browsing by providing these bite-sized pieces of information right when you need them.

• Open Safari and navigate to a supported webpage.
• Look for a purple sparkle over the tool icon in the browser bar. This indicates Highlights are available.
• Tap the sparkle to open the Highlights window.
• Review the summarized information presented in the Highlights window, and interact with the information you need, such as tapping on directions or playback links.

By keeping an eye out for the sparkle icon as you browse, you can take full advantage of this time-saving feature and quickly access the most pertinent information from websites. Note that Highlights is currently only available in the U.S. and only works for English websites.

visionOS 2 is available today, bringing new spatial computing experiences to Apple Vision Pro users around the world. Existing photos can now be turned into spatial photos with remarkable depth and dimension, intuitive new hand gestures make navigating Vision Pro even faster and easier, and powerful enhancements to key visionOS apps and experiences take spatial computing to the next level.

With visionOS 2, Apple Vision Pro users can revisit past memories by transforming 2D images from their library in the Photos app into spatial photos with natural-looking depth and dimension. With just a tap, visionOS 2 leverages advanced machine learning algorithms to bring new life to 2D photos, enabling users to revisit and reconnect with cherished memories in ways never before possible.

SharePlay in the Photos app makes it easy for users to share content in their library, including stunning spatial photos and videos shot on the new iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro, with their friends and family. With SharePlay, users can connect with others as their spatial Persona and enjoy panoramas at life-size scale, scroll through favorite shared albums, and more while feeling as if everyone is physically present together in the same room. The Photos app in visionOS 2 has been redesigned to help users keep their library organized, and makes it easy to quickly find spatial photos, videos, and more. Users can also trim videos in their photo library and do it at any scale that works best for their workflows.

Later this fall, Canon will introduce a brand-new spatial lens for its popular EOS R7 digital camera that will be able to capture gorgeous spatial video. Professional users will be able to edit their spatial videos with Final Cut Pro for Mac, and upload them to Vimeo for others to experience on Apple Vision Pro.

Navigating Apple Vision Pro is even faster and easier with visionOS 2. Building off the revolutionary spatial interface of Vision Pro, visionOS 2 introduces new gestures that make accessing Home View and other features even more convenient. Now when users raise their hand in front of them and tap their fingers, they can quickly get to the Home View, or they can flip their hand to see the time, check the battery level, adjust the volume, and even access Control Center.

Powerful productivity features in visionOS 2 help users further customize their Apple Vision Pro experience to better fit their needs and get even more done.

Users now have the ability to use their mouse when navigating Apple Vision Pro — great for when they’re drafting a document and want the precision of a cursor. When a user is in an Environment, Vision Pro will intelligently detect and reveal the user’s physical Magic Keyboard. And with the ability to customize their Home View, users can arrange apps wherever they like and quickly access the ones they use most.

Later this year, Mac Virtual Display will feature an expandable, ultra-wide screen that wraps around the user — creating the equivalent of having two 4K displays sitting side by side.

With visionOS 2, key apps and features that users love and rely on every day get even better:
