I stopped bookmarking dashboard URLs. Nothing bad happened.

For about two years I maintained a Chrome folder called infra.

It had Stripe. Vercel. Neon. OpenAI. Anthropic. Clerk. Resend. Cloudflare. GitHub settings. A Linear link that still pointed at an old team. A Supabase project that didn't exist anymore.

It looked organized. It was not organized.

Bookmarks decay

Dashboards move. Products rename menus. Your own projects get deleted. Half the bookmarks become "close enough" redirects. The other half open the marketing homepage because you saved the wrong URL at 11pm.

Worse: bookmarks are static. The thing you need is usually not "Stripe" — it's "Stripe webhooks" or "Stripe test keys" or "the events log for the payment that just failed."

A folder full of top-level dashboards is like a contacts list that only has company names, no phone numbers.

Tabs are a worse version of the same problem

I've also tried the "keep them all open" approach. Pin the tabs. Name the window "money." Feel powerful for a day.

Then you restart the laptop. Or Chrome decides to restore the wrong session. Or you have three windows and the webhook page is in none of them.

Tabs are RAM for attention. They're not a navigation system.

What actually worked

I wanted something closer to how I already think:

"I need the OpenAI usage page."
type a few characters
land there

That's a search problem, not a bookmark problem.

Raycast does this well on a Mac if you build extensions and maintain them. Browser bookmark search does it if you ruthlessly prune. A notes doc with raw URLs does it if you like living in Markdown.

I built devlinkspad because I kept doing the same search in Google:

stripe webhooks dashboard
vercel account tokens
supabase service role key

…and getting blog posts, docs, and a forum answer from 2021.

The unsexy truth

This isn't a productivity philosophy. It's just reducing the number of times you re-open the wrong page.

If you already have a system that works — keep it. Seriously. Don't adopt another tool for sport.

If you don't: start with a short list of the 10 services you actually open every week, put the deep links somewhere searchable, and delete the dead bookmarks. That alone is a better week.

If you want that list pre-built for 140+ tools, that's what the palette is for. Open it, hit ⌘K, type the tool. No install, no lecture.
