Atavi

What Atavi is

Atavi is a free service for storing, organizing, and synchronizing website bookmarks. Users can create groups, sort saved items, choose a theme, and set how many bookmarks to display; Atavi states there is no limit on the number of bookmarks. Items can link to websites, email services, social profiles, and online account dashboards. After signing in, changes on one device are replicated to other devices over the Internet. Atavi says it works across browsers and operating systems on any Internet-connected device. It is available on the web, Android, iOS, and as browser extensions, with extensions listed for Chrome, Opera, Safari, and Firefox. Users can protect a bookmark group so that viewing its contents requires their Atavi account password. There is an import limitation for people bringing over existing bookmark structures: nested folders are not supported, so imported subfolders are flattened and folders with matching names are merged. The privacy policy says the extensions use API methods that work using an SSL certificate and do not use personal or confidential user data. It also says Atavi collects account email addresses and logs non-personally identifiable information such as IP address, browser type, and operating system. The provider named in the terms is SOFTLAB CORP.LLP, with a registered address in London, England.

Who it suits

Atavi suits people who want to organize and sync bookmarks across devices, browsers, and operating systems. It may be less suitable for users who need imported nested folders to retain their structure.

Getting started

1. Open Atavi on the web.
2. Create an account and sign in to sync changes across devices.
3. Install an extension for Chrome, Opera, Safari, or Firefox, or use the linked App Store or Google Play app.
4. Create bookmark groups, choose a theme, and set how many bookmarks to display.

Verdict

Atavi provides free bookmark organization and synchronization across several platforms, with group protection as an option. Consider its import behavior if your bookmarks use nested folders.
