The article stays, even when the page doesn't.
Bookplate makes its own copy of every article you save — the text and the images together — and keeps it on your Mac, where it stays readable after the page changes or disappears.
Saved in full the moment you save it. Reads offline. Exports to plain files. Pay once.
Bookplate is not on the Mac App Store yet.
How it works
You save it
Paste a link, press Command-N, drag one onto the window, or use the Share menu from another app. The link is kept the moment it arrives and the copy is made in the background, so saving never waits.
It keeps its own copy
Bookplate fetches the page and its images and keeps them with the article's text, so what you saved reads the same in a year. When a live page cannot be read, it asks the Internet Archive for a capture and makes the copy from that.
You find it again
Full-text search over everything you have saved, with tag: and site: to narrow it. Unread, Starred and Archive, tags and notes, and titles in Spotlight. Export the whole library to plain files whenever you like.
Privacy
Your library stays on this Mac. There is no account, no sync and no analytics, and the only requests Bookplate makes are the ones it makes to save a page you asked for.
Records
- the links you save, and the app's own copy of each page
- the images that came with it
- your tags, notes, and what you have read or starred
- the search index, built from the text you saved
Never records
- anything sent to us — there is no account and no server of ours
- analytics, trackers or crash reports
- your library, copied to another machine
The privacy policy, in full.
Pricing
Free to download, fourteen days free, then a one-time US$9.99 unlock. No subscription.
Apple takes the payment, and the price it shows in your currency is what you pay.
The trial starts in the app — fourteen days of everything, and no subscription behind it.
When it ends, saving and importing new items need the unlock. Everything already saved stays readable, searchable and exportable — nothing you have saved is ever locked.

Refunds go through Apple, from your App Store account.Questions
What happens after the fourteen days?
Saving and importing new items need the one-time unlock. Everything you have already saved stays readable, searchable and exportable, and Export… keeps working — nothing you have saved is ever locked.
Is there an account, or a subscription?
Neither. Bookplate has no account, no subscription, no analytics and no advertising. It is free to download, and the unlock is a one-time purchase through the App Store, tied to your Apple ID and restorable on your other Macs.
Where is my library kept?
On this Mac, inside Bookplate's own container. Nothing is synced and nothing is sent to us. Export… writes the whole library into a folder you choose, as files you can open without Bookplate.
What goes over the network?
Only what is needed to make the copy you asked for — the page you saved and its images, and the Internet Archive when a live page cannot be read. Nothing about you or your library is sent anywhere, and reading a saved article makes no request at all.
What happens to a page that disappears?
If a page cannot be fetched, Bookplate asks the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine for a capture of it and reads that copy instead. The item then says Saved from archive, with the date of the capture it used.
Which Macs does it run on?
Any Mac on macOS 26 or later.
