Bookmarks Validator4.0.0 - App Store

Analyzes a desktop browser's exported bookmarks HTML file for invalid URLs.

Note: Browser bookmarks files need to be placed in a "Bookmarks Validator" folder. On an iOS device, this folder resides in the Documents folder. On a macOS device, this folder resides in the Downloads folder. On iCloud, it resides in the iCloud Drive. The User's Guide provides instructions on how to set this up.

Version History 1. Compatible with iOS 18+, iOS 26+ and macOS 26+
2. Now requires iOS 16+
3. Starting with iOS 18 and on into iOS 26 and with later versions of macOS Sequoia on into Tahoe, the app no longer scaled, i.e., properly processed 400-500+ bookmarks. Validation is now performed using Apple's modern concurrency model and properly scales. It has successfully processed a Bookmarks file containing 9400+ URLs.
4. If you have any issues, e-mail them to support@verusapps.com to get them resolved. We welcome suggestions for improving the app. 4.0.0 Feb 12 1. Bug fixed: Starting with iOS 14, validation of a URL may report the error:
"28 The operation couldn’t be completed. No space left on device"
When this occurs the first time, subsequent URL validations display the same error messgae. This should now be fixed, but if it occurs please notify support@verusapps.com.
2. Bug fixed: The count of the number of URLs to validate could be incorrect (too low). The count is now correct.
3. Bug fixed: The name of an invalid URL could be truncated. Now it is complete.
4. Crash fixed: If you validated another Booksmarks file without relaunching the app, it crashed.
5. Crash fixed: an ftp URL (starts with ftp://) causes the app to crash. The validation report will state "ftp URLs cannot be validated" and list the ftp URL. If you click on an ftp link in Safari, you will get the message: Safari Can't Open the Page. The error is "FTP URLs are disabled."
6. Note: When the Estimated remaining time reaches 0:00, it may take up to a minute before the validation report appears, if the app is waiting for some URLs to complete validation; for example, waiting for a login URL to time out.
