If you often need to save a collection of website URLs for temporary use, you can use the Notes app on Mac OS X to save them without adding them to bookmarks. Not only do these links sync across all of your devices, but they can also be easily accessible wherever you are. Whether it’s for online research or comparison, this feature can save you time by allowing you to gather links for a few hours or days without permanently storing them in your bookmarks.
How to Use Notes to Save Temporary Links and URLs on Mac
All Mac OS browsers support drag-and-drop, so follow one of these methods, which works best for your workflow:
- Drag a URL from the URL bar to Notes
- Drag the URL from the page link to Notes
- Drag the URL of the saved webpage from the Finder to Notes
- Copy and paste a webpage link into Notes (the only method that works directly by adding to Notes via iOS devices)
If this feature is useful to you, you can create a note on your desktop, label it “Temporary Bookmarks,” and let iCloud handle the rest. You can use this feature on any device combination you use, such as work and home PCs, laptop and desktop Macs etc. iCloud automatically syncs everything, so you always have up-to-date URLs. iOS devices can even search and edit the contents of Notes directly with Siri, making it even more useful on the go.
Notes doesn’t take up much space in your file system or iCloud storage, so you can continue to save temporary URL lists if you want. Otherwise, throw a note only when you’re done, or retrieve its contents to a clean slate the next time you need to collect a variety of temporarily needed URLs.
