On Start.me you can easily import bookmarks from your browser, from a local file (html, csv) or from an external webpage.

Import completed: what now?

Once you've completed the import, you'll find your bookmarks on a single page, organized in widgets.

You can move, copy, or delete these widgets, drag and drop single bookmarks, or delete them from the system. You can also view them in the Bookmarks Manager.
