Compass for Windows

Product snapshot

Compass is a compact bookmark manager for desktop computers first released in 1998. It helps users organize and keep track of their web bookmarks, offering more flexibility than many competing tools. Despite its age, it remains lightweight—approximately 900 KB—so it uses very little disk space and memory.

Suggested replacement
