Hookmark 7.0 Release Notes

Hookmark Version 7.0 (6534; Integration v. 404) is now available for download..

Clean My Links

This new release introduces the Clean My Links feature! When enabled (which it is by default) when you copy or hook a link, Hookmark will first try to clean the link, removing URL cruft such as tracking parameters. There’s a new Clean My Links tab in Hookmark’s Settings window.

On that tab, Hookmark Pro users can add their own URL patterns to augment or replace how Hookmark cleans URLs matching particular patterns.

We think Clean My Links will appeal to Mac users because Mac users like things to be as simple and elegant as possible (short URLs). And they value their privacy. This feature removes information that companies like Amazon, X and Facebook use to track you.

URL patterns are stored on our script server so that we at CogSci Apps Corp. can improve your rules without you needing to reboot Hookmark (assuming you have enabled automatic updates).

Hook to New PDF

In web browsers, you can now invoke Hookmark’s Hook to New PDF (⌃⌘P). This will create a PDF of the current page, store it in the configured location, hook it to the current page, tag the PDF with “Hookmark”, and open the PDF.

In the Advanced Settings tab, you can configure where new PDFs are stored:

  1. in a folder of your choosing, or
  2. in the default notes folder (configured on the notes tab. This is the default.)

If you’re using DEVONthink you might want to configure Hookmark to store PDFs in DEVONthink’s inbox.

Note that Hookmark obtains the source of the page not from the browser but from the server. That means if the page requires authentication, Hookmark won’t be able to populate the PDF with the information from the page that you are seeing.

This feature is available in Hookmark Pro only.
