Save Bookmarks from Android

Save This One works on Android through HTTP Shortcuts or Tasker. Share a link from any app, and it lands in your Save This One library with tags and notes. Free.

Two ways to save bookmarks from Android:

  • HTTP Shortcuts (recommended): Free app, no coding, 5 minutes
  • Tasker: More flexible, paid app, longer setup

Both add a "Save Bookmark" option to your Share menu.

Setup

You need your API token. In the web app sidebar, click the key icon, then Generate Token and Copy.


HTTP Shortcuts (recommended)

Install HTTP Shortcuts from the Play Store.

Create the shortcut

  1. Open HTTP Shortcuts, tap +, name it Save Bookmark
  2. Basic Request Settings: Method POST, URL https://app.savethisone.com/api/bookmarks
  3. Request Headers: add Authorization = Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN and Content-Type = application/json
  4. Request Body / Parameters: select Custom Body, content type application/json, body:
{ "url": "{url}" }

{url} is a built-in variable. HTTP Shortcuts replaces it with the shared URL automatically.

  1. Trigger from Share Menu: enable it, select Share as URL
  2. Scripting > Run after execution, add:
if (response.statusCode === 201) {
  showToast("Bookmark saved!");
} else {
  showToast("Failed: " + response.statusCode);
}

Save a bookmark

Open any app, tap Share, select HTTP Shortcuts, tap Save Bookmark.


Tasker

Install Tasker from the Play Store.

Create the task

  1. Tasks tab, tap +, name it Save Bookmark
  2. Add action: Net > HTTP Request

- Method: POST - URL: https://app.savethisone.com/api/bookmarks - Headers (one per line): `` Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN Content-Type: application/json ` - Body: {"url": "%clip"}`

  1. Add action: Alert > Flash, text: Bookmark saved: %http_response_code

Wire it to the Share menu

  1. Profiles tab, tap + > Event > System > Intent Received
  2. Set Action to android.intent.action.SEND
  3. Link to the Save Bookmark task
  4. In the task, change body to use %intent_data instead of %clip:
{"url": "%intent_data"}
  1. Long-press the task > Add to Share Menu

Save a bookmark

Same flow: Share > Tasker > Save Bookmark.
