Import

Import bookmarks from your browser or another service

mnera.io can import bookmarks from most browsers and services. The import reads a file you export from your current tool and writes the bookmarks to your Solid pod.

Supported formats

Format	Extension	Where it comes from
Netscape Bookmark File	.html, .htm	Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, Pocket, Raindrop.io, mnera.io
JSON	.json	Chrome, Firefox, Pocket, Raindrop.io, mnera.io, generic url/title arrays
CSV	.csv	Raindrop.io, Pocket
Markdown	.md, .markdown	mnera.io
Turtle / RDF	.ttl	mnera.io, other Solid apps
Evernote export	.enex	Evernote (notes that have a source URL)
Plain text	.txt	One URL per line; lines starting with # become topics

Every format mnera.io can export — HTML, JSON, Markdown and Turtle — can also be imported back, so a file exported from mnera.io round-trips cleanly.

How to export from your browser

Chrome

Open Chrome and go to chrome://bookmarks
Click the three-dot menu (top right) → Export bookmarks

How to import into mnera.io

Open the app and sign in with your Solid pod
In the sidebar, open the ⋮ kebab next to the collection picker → Import bookmarks
Select the exported file from your computer
Pick the destination collection (defaults to whichever is currently active). Optionally tick “Use dates from the imported file” if you want imported dates to override existing ones on overwrite
mnera.io reads the file and writes the bookmarks to the chosen collection

What makes a valid file

The file must be one of the formats listed above and actually contain bookmarks. mnera.io detects the format from the file extension — and, for HTML and Evernote files, from the file contents. If a file is not a recognised format, is empty, or is corrupt, the import stops with “no bookmarks found in that file” and nothing is written to your pod.

Only http and https bookmarks are imported — entries without a web URL are skipped.
Folders (HTML), collections and tags (CSV / JSON), and headings (Markdown, plain text) become topics.

Note: Import is additive — existing bookmarks are never deleted. A bookmark whose URL is already in your pod is matched by URL: if its details are identical it is left unchanged, and if they differ it is listed so you can choose whether to overwrite it. Running an import twice is always safe.

Topics from folders

Netscape bookmark files include folder structure. mnera.io maps each folder to a topic and preserves the hierarchy as nested topics in your pod.
