We’re excited that Default Folder X has been chosen as Hookmark’s Partner of the Month for August! If you haven’t tried Hookmark yet, it’s a great tool for speeding up your workflow when you’re juggling information across multiple apps. Instead of hunting down emails, contacts, web pages, or notes over and over, Hookmark lets you link them all together and quickly jump between them.
If you’re a Default Folder X user, we know you value efficiency and easy navigation. Hookmark delivers that in spades when you’re integrating information from different applications — it really has no equivalent on the Mac.
What does Hookmark Do?
Hookmark works by creating special links — kind of like URLs, but instead of just opening web pages, these links open things on your Mac like calendar events, tasks, files, contacts, PDFs, notes, and even individual emails. The Hookmark website lists the many apps that support these links.
You then “hook” links together. For example, if you’re working on a report, you can hook your draft, client emails, research articles, and meeting notes, and instantly switch between them without any searching. It’s a cool way to think about how the pieces of your work connect. You simply pop up Hookmark’s contextual window or bookmark window and click on a link – it’s that easy to navigate between hooked information.
Hookmark + Default Folder X : Faster and Easier
If you use Default Folder X, you know how much it helps you quickly get to the right file or folder. With Hookmark, you can hook related websites, files and other information together to access them even faster! Open a recent file from Default Folder X’s menu, then use Hookmark to instantly navigate to any information you’ve hooked to that file – contacts, notes, to-do lists, websites – they’re all just a click away.
There’s also one more trick. Default Folder X’s integration into Save dialogs lets it create a Hookmark link the moment you save a file. That means the link is automatically copied to your clipboard and ready to use in Hookmark, saving you yet another step. For setup details, check out this blog post.
