A better way to save, clean, tag, and share links

Nox URL Manager is a lightweight browser extension for Chrome/Edge that helps you capture links fast, keep them tidy, and share them wherever you work — without handing your data to anyone else. It’s built for people who live in their browser: developers, researchers, and anyone who collects lots of URLs.

Why use it?

• One place for links. Save from the toolbar, a dialog, or the context menu.
• Stay organized. Tag, filter, search, and de-duplicate in seconds.
• Fix messy links. Bulk tools help standardize URLs (e.g., convert to HTTPS, lowercase, strip spaces).
• Share anywhere. Custom Actions let you send %url% to services like LinkedIn, Mastodon, or your own tools.
• Own your data. Everything is stored in your browser — no cloud back‑end. Pro Sync can use a local folder or network share (optional).

How it works

1. Save a link
   • Click the toolbar button and use Save URL, or
   • Right-click a link/page and choose Save to Nox URL Manager, or
   • Paste multiple URLs using the Paste button on Saved URLs.
2. Tag & find
   • Use Tags to group related links.
   • Filter by text, tag, or URL. The search box supports quick narrowing.
3. Clean & standardize
   • Open Tools to perform helpful bulk fixes (e.g., convert to HTTPS, lowercase URLs, trim whitespace).
   • Click Remove Duplicates to de-dupe safely.
4. Import/Export
   • Import from Bookmarks HTML, CSV, or HTML/JSON/TXT via Shared Links.
   • Export selected items or everything to take your data elsewhere.
5. Custom Actions (power feature)
   • In Options, enable Custom Actions and add buttons that point to any web URL.
   • Use the token %url% which is replaced with the selected link.
   • Examples you can use today:
     • Share to Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=%url%
     • Share to LinkedIn → https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url=%url%
     • Share to Mastodon → https://mastodon.social/share?text=%url%
   • These open a small window with the URL pre-filled so you can finish the post. (No app secrets, no server round-trips.)

Privacy & security (straight talk)

• Your URLs are stored on your machine inside browser storage.
• No cloud back-end: the extension does not send your links to me or to third parties.
• Pro Sync uses a private folder on your computer or network storage device.
• Thumbnail fetching can use Microlink (if you provide a key) and falls back to WordPress mShots. No link content is uploaded to my servers.
• License checks contact noximaze.com only to validate your key.
• No background “AI” processing of your data.
• You’re always in control: export or delete at any time.

Inside your browser’s local/sync storage. Nothing is uploaded to my servers.

Can I bulk-add links?

Yes. Use Paste in Saved URLs to drop in one or many lines.

What does Multi-Launch do?

Opens the currently selected links in new tabs — handy for research bursts.
