A bookmarking application is a web, mobile, or desktop application that allows users to save and organize links to content. Bookmarking apps usually include the ability to search for specific items of interest, tag items for later retrieval, rate and review saved items, and view saved items in a list.

Bookmarking apps are similar to many other consumer content apps, such as news reading apps, education apps, and productivity apps. Examples of bookmarking applications include Safari, Pocket, Delicious, and Instapaper.

A bookmarking app can grow by improving the user experience on the platform, adding new features that are useful to users, and encouraging users to share bookmarks with their friends. A great way to encourage social sharing is to provide users with an incentive in the form of an award or badge.

Bookmarking apps are subject to intellectual property risks if their content is not licensed or properly attributed. Bookmarking apps should have clear terms of service to outline the legal usage of the app's content. If your app uses copyrighted materials, you should consider partnering with a third party for payment processing and license verification to mitigate any potential liability.
