You can create and save several separate bookmark documents and you can access them all from the system-wide bookmarks menu. You can also access them from you iPhone or iPad using the free iOS version.
Using a system-wide bookmarks menu, you have access to your bookmarks in any app or web browser.

In the URL Manager Pro documents, you can manage and organise your bookmarks easily with drag and drop. You can add tags, notes and colours to your bookmarks.
You will have a powerful search function and you also can use Spotlight. You can also find duplicates and check your bookmarks for broken links.
You can import and export bookmarks from (and to) several popular browsers, like Safari, Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Vivaldi, Brave, iCab, Opera etc. You can also scan TEXT files for URLs and import links and bookmarks from HTML, PLIST and XBEL format.

Ratings and Reviews
OK now
I last reviewed this app in Dec 2023 and gave it 1 star as it did not work (despite the developer explaining how it should).
I decided to give it another go in July 2024, and it works fine. I don't know whether my previous install was faulty or whether the app has been fixed, but I am happy with it now. Re-rated to 4 stars.
Developer Response ,
There are at least three ways to add bookmarks:
1) using the Shared Menu (works in any browser)
2) using the Share button of the Safari (or any other browser) toolbar
3) using the Safari extension which adds a special Add Bookmark icon to Safari’s toolbar
extremely useful bookmark app
Despite the fact that also in this app (like in all others) it is impossible to create aliasses (of bookmarks or folders) so that one might build a more flexible bookmark structure, and despite the lack of support for retina screens, I still consider this to be the best bookmark app. It is definitely more useful than the standard browsers functionality and also better than any other dedicated bookmark app. It is however a pity that this app does not take a more wholehearted lead in its area.

I have given up using Safari as I cannot have many windows updated all the time in the latest Safari version. I use now exclusively Firefox ESR 24.6 and instead Google, I search now using Lxquick, which does not spy on you. URL manager pro 4.3 continues to function perfectly and I really do not intend to replace it too by transferring my bookmarks to Firefox. One of the major advantages of URL manager pro was that I had to do almost nothing to switch from Safari to Firefox ESR. I want to keep this flexibility.
Many thanks for this app, despite the functionality still lacking mentioned above.
Sadly, this didn't work.
I was looking for a powerful bookmark manager app, and this looks as though it would be suitable, however I spent hours following the instructions in the user manual trying to make it work with my Mac using Ventura with very little success. I really wanted it to succeed, but nope. Multiple frustrations.

I am sad to hear this. Unfortunately, you do not mention any specific task or command that I perhaps can explain more.
