Keep links, files and sessions one click away
Bookmarks save websites, files, programs, commands and places in Yardmaster in one searchable list in the toolbar.
Bookmarks keep the things you open every day in one list: websites, files and folders, programs, and places inside Yardmaster such as a session or a project. One click opens any of them.
Add a bookmark#
Click More toolbar items (the three dots) in the toolbar and choose Bookmarks.
Click Add (the + at the top of the list).
Pick a Kind, for example URL for a website.
Type a Name and the address, path or command. For Session, Project or Virtual, search for it and click it instead.
Optionally pick a folder, or choose + New folder… to make one.
Click Add Bookmark.
To bookmark the session you are in, click Bookmark current session in the list, or press Shift plus B⇧BShift plus BShiftB.
What each kind does when you click it#
URL opens the website in your web browser (web addresses only).
Path opens a file in its usual app, or a folder in Finder or File Explorer.
Executable starts a program file. On a Mac, an app (a name ending in
.app) is a folder, not a program file, so an Executable bookmark to it shows an error instead.Command runs a command, after you confirm it (see below).
Session, Project and Virtual jump to that session, project or sidebar page (such as the Inbox) inside Yardmaster.
Folder holds other bookmarks. Click it to open or close it.
If the session or project a bookmark points to is deleted, the bookmark is crossed out and clicking it offers to remove it.
Run a command from a bookmark#
A Command bookmark asks every time before it runs. A Confirm command window shows the exact command; tick I understand and click Run. Yardmaster never runs a saved command without that click, even one you have run before.
Find, change and arrange bookmarks#
Search bookmarks… at the top matches names and addresses.
Right-click a bookmark to change its name, address or folder, then click Save Changes. Delete in the same window removes it straight away; a folder with bookmarks inside asks first and deletes everything in it.
Drag a bookmark to reorder it, or drop it onto a folder to move it in. Double-click a folder's name to rename it.
Middle-click a bookmark to open it and keep the list open, handy for opening several sites.
Where they are kept. Bookmarks are saved in Yardmaster's database on this computer and are not synced anywhere.
Site icons. To show a website's icon, Yardmaster asks Google's public icon service for it, which sends that site's domain name (not the full address) to Google.
Hiding the button. Enable bookmarks in Settings > Toolbar shows or hides Bookmarks (on at first). Turning it off keeps your saved bookmarks.
On your phone. Website and in-app bookmarks work from a paired phone. Path, Executable and Command bookmarks only open on the computer itself.
Keyboard. Select a bookmark and press Option plus Up arrow⌥↑Alt plus Up arrowAlt↑ or Option plus Down arrow⌥↓Alt plus Down arrowAlt↓ to move it.
Agents and scripts. Your agents can list, add, change and delete bookmarks through Yardmaster's local control server, without asking you first. They cannot run a Command or Executable bookmark that way. Enable Bookmarks CLI in Settings > CLI Control (on at first) switches this off.
