bmm is a command-line bookmark manager designed to provide fast access to a locally stored collection of bookmarks.
The software offers both a traditional command-line interface and an interactive terminal interface. Every supported action is available from the command line, allowing bmm to be integrated with tools such as fzf and shell scripts.
Bookmarks can be imported from browser exports and other common formats. They can be searched using their URI, title, tags or general search terms, while the terminal interface provides a convenient way to browse bookmarks and tags.
This is free and open source software.
