Plan the whole trip from the links you've already saved

Trip research has a shape everyone recognizes: forty open tabs, a Google Doc of pasted URLs, screenshots of restaurant recommendations, and three links someone dropped in the group chat. None of it is organized, and two weeks before departure you can’t find the one hotel that had the rooftop pool. Marqly fixes the structure problem. It’s an AI bookmark manager: you save every guide, hotel page, and hidden-spot recommendation the moment you find it, the AI tags and summarizes each save automatically, a board collects everything for the trip, and the finished board shares as a public page anyone can open — no account required.

One place for every guide, hotel, and hidden spot

The saving has to be frictionless or you won’t do it mid-research. Marqly’s browser extension saves the current page in one click from the toolbar. When a research session leaves you with a wall of open tabs — twelve hotels, five “best things to do in Kyoto” posts — the tab saver captures all of them at once instead of making you close each one with regret.

Every save gets AI treatment automatically. Auto-tagging means you never file anything by hand; the destination, the type of place, the theme all become tags without you touching a keyboard. AI summaries matter even more for travel content, because travel guides are long. A 4,000-word “ultimate guide” gets condensed so you can tell in seconds whether it’s the one worth reading fully.

For the guides that are worth reading, the highlighter earns its place. Select the paragraph that actually matters — the tip about booking the temple visit at 7 a.m., the warning about the cash-only restaurant — and highlight it in one of six colors, with a note if you want. Highlights persist on the page when you revisit it and sync to your library, so the useful sentence is never buried in the article again.

A board per trip, shared as the itinerary

Boards are where research becomes a plan. Create one board per trip and drop in the links and highlights that made the cut: the booked hotel, the shortlisted restaurants, the day-trip guides. The board becomes the single artifact you and your travel companions work from, instead of a chat thread with links scattered across three months of messages.

The sharing model is the part group trips actually need: a board can be shared as a public page, and viewers don’t need to sign up to see it. Your co-travelers open a link and see the plan — no “create an account to view” wall, no exported PDF that goes stale. If you’re curious what shared boards look like in practice, Marqly keeps a public boards directory you can browse.

Find that place you half remember

The reason trip research usually dies in a bookmarks folder is retrieval. Three weeks after saving, you remember the ramen place was “under some train tracks” but not its name, its URL, or which of nine guides mentioned it. Folder trees and title search can’t answer that question. Marqly’s semantic search can, because it searches by meaning rather than keywords — describe what you remember and it finds the save, matching across titles, page content, your highlights, and even video transcripts.

Transcripts matter more for travel than you’d expect, because so much destination research now happens on YouTube. Marqly puts a bookmark button in YouTube’s action row that saves a video with its transcript attached, so “the vlog where she mentioned the night market behind the mosque” is findable later by that description. On Pro, you can go one step further and chat with your saves — ask “which of my saved Tokyo restaurants take reservations?” and get an answer drawn from your own saved content.

Getting started

1. Sign up free at app.marqly.com — no card required.
2. Install the browser extension. The Chrome extension is rated 4.8 on the Chrome Web Store, and Edge, Firefox, and Safari are supported too.
3. Create a board for your next trip and start saving as you research.
4. For planning on the go, grab the iOS app — everything syncs across your devices through your account. There’s no Android app, but the web app works in Android browsers.

An honest fit note: Marqly is a research organizer, not a booking engine or a day-by-day itinerary optimizer. It won’t compare flight prices or sequence your mornings. And because there’s no offline mode, it’s a planning tool rather than an in-flight companion — copy the essentials somewhere local before you lose signal. What it does is keep three months of scattered trip research in one searchable, shareable place, which is the part that usually falls apart.
