This is the Chrome bookmarking extension for Turtl (https://turtlapp.com). It is meant to be run alongside the desktop app to allow easier bookmarking.

Turtl is open-source, allowing anybody to audit the source or run their own version: https://github.com/turtl

We believe you should have control over who has access to your data. This is a real problem: with increasing threats from hackers and government surveillance, how can you trust the online services that store your private information? The idea behind Turtl is that you shouldn't have to.

We've set up our service so that only you have the keys to your data and it gets encrypted before it leaves your computer. That way, even if the NSA wiretaps your Internet connection, even if an army of mercenaries storms our data-center and steals our hard drives, your data is unreadable to everyone, including us.

Because it's nobody else's business but yours.

User reviews

Works great, just need to make sure the extension is pinned. Otherwise it can't access the page.

This was great until a day or two ago, now the bookmark button does nothing. If there's been an update they've obviously broken something.

"Problem connecting to Turtl There was an problem talking to the Turtl app. Make sure that Turtl is running and try clicking the button again. If you don't have the Turtl desktop app yet, you can get it from the Turtl download page."
