Boxing

A hierarchical, infinite-canvas bookmark organizer with beige minimalist design.

Boxing transforms your new tab page into a visual workspace for bookmarks. Instead of flat folders, organize bookmarks into labeled boxes on an infinite canvas — drag, connect, and nest them spatially. Think Obsidian canvas meets bookmarks.

Table of Contents

Features

Infinite Canvas — Pan and zoom freely (Ctrl+scroll). Create unlimited boxes on a single canvas. Connect boxes with lines to show relationships. Set parent-child relationships — move a parent and its children follow.

Two-Level Hierarchy — Large boxes hold small boxes. Small boxes hold bookmarks. Click into a box to enter its sub-canvas. Breadcrumb navigation shows your path. Nest as deep as needed.

Bookmark Management — Each box has its own bookmark collection with list and grid views. Add, edit, delete with a clean dialog. Open in current tab or new tab (configurable). Drag to reorder.

Connectivity — Visual SVG connection lines between boxes. Alt+Click a line to delete it (configurable: single-click or double-click). Parent-child movement propagation with elastic boundary clamping.

Design & Theme — Beige/cream minimalist aesthetic. Light and dark mode with automatic system detection. Adjustable font size and zoom. Square or rounded corners toggle.

14 Languages — en, zh_CN, zh_TW, ja, ko, fr, de, es, pt_BR, ru, ar, hi, th, vi with auto browser-language detection.
