How to Migrate from mymind to Marqly
Love mymind's "zero manual organization" promise but frustrated by zero sharing, no mass imports, and high subscription fees? Here is how to move your saves to Marqly in three simple steps.
What changes when you move to Marqly?
mymind is strictly anti-social with zero sharing. Marqly lets you share curated boards publicly with clients, friends, or teammates via simple links.
Describe what you remember in plain language ("that article explaining sleep and cortisol") and find saves instantly without exact keywords.
mymind forbids bulk import. Marqly welcomes your past saves: import from Pocket, Raindrop, or any browser HTML export anytime.
mymind gates AI summaries to its $12.99/mo Mastermind tier. Marqly includes AI summaries, semantic search, and YouTube transcript chat at half the price.
Step-by-Step Migration Walkthrough
Export your cards from mymind
Open mymind in desktop Chrome or Edge (export is only enabled on desktop Chromium browsers). Go to your Account Settings and scroll to Export Data. Download your cards.csv file.
Upload to Marqly
Sign up for free at app.marqly.com (no credit card required). In Settings → Import Bookmarks, select CSV / HTML and upload your file.
AI automatically organizes your library
Marqly parses your links, notes, and tags. AI automatically creates summaries and embeds every item for semantic search. You can also organize links into public shareable boards or pin them to your new tab workspace.
What transfers — fidelity matrix
Every row below was read out of the importer Marqly actually runs in production, plus fixture runs of each export format. Where something is lost, we say so — the point is an import you do not have to redo.
Accepted input: cards.csv from the data export (desktop Chrome/Edge only)
| Field | Outcome | What it means for your library |
|---|---|---|
| URL | Supported | A url/link/href column is aliased by the importer. |
| Title | Partial | title or name columns are aliased; confirm your CSV header after the first test import. |
| Tags | Partial | A tags column is aliased and split on separators; whether mymind’s CSV populates it for your cards varies — check a few rows in the file viewer first. |
| Text cards / quotes / highlights | Not supported | CSV text columns are not parsed as content; mymind-native cards (no URL) have nothing to import as bookmarks. Exported media files stay files — keep them locally. |
| Date | Not supported | The export carries it (ADD_DATE/created) and the parser reads it, but the import stores items with the import date. Sort by “recently added” after a big import with that in mind. |
| Folder structure | Not supported | mymind has no folder column; everything lands in one board. Sort by tag or board after import. |
| Duplicates | Not supported | Import writes every row; no dedup pass runs. Check the export first with the free duplicate finder, or clean up in Marqly after import. |

Frequently asked migration questions
Can I export my data from mymind?
Yes. From your account settings in desktop Chrome or Edge, mymind provides a data export containing a cards.csv file (holding your saved links, notes, quotes, and highlights) plus a ZIP of uploaded images and PDFs.
Will my saved links and tags transfer into Marqly?
Yes. Marqly imports the URLs, titles, and text notes from your mymind export. Once imported, Marqly automatically applies AI tags and short summaries to each link so your zero-effort organization is preserved.
Why do users switch from mymind to Marqly?
While mymind is visually beautiful, it is strictly single-player: you cannot share any link, list, or board with anyone, and it deliberately blocks importing existing browser bookmarks. Marqly delivers the same zero-filing AI auto-tagging and semantic search, but adds shareable public boards, browser bookmark imports, YouTube transcript chat, and a 100-save free tier.
Do I need a credit card to try Marqly?
No. Marqly provides a free tier storing up to 100 bookmarks with keyword search across your whole library, without requiring a credit card. Pro is available for unlimited saves, automatic AI tagging, and semantic search.
Does Marqly support visual cards like mymind?
Yes. Marqly provides rich visual preview cards, grid layouts, and side-panel views alongside reader mode and text highlighting, giving you visual inspiration without locking your content into a closed silo.
