history

Project history and usage

Hookmark is a macOS contextual-bookmarking and deep-linking utility developed by CogSci Apps. It creates links to files, messages, tasks, web pages, and other application objects and can connect those resources bidirectionally.

Project history

CogSci Apps originally shipped the product under the name Hook. It was renamed Hookmark in autumn 2022, when the application also introduced the `.hookmark` file extension while retaining compatibility with older `.hook` files.

Adoption history

Hookmark's usefulness has broadened through integrations with linkable Mac applications, including browsers, mail clients, Finder, task managers, note-taking tools, and reference managers. The product offers both contextual navigation and a searchable bookmarks window, with later versions adding cross-application tags.

How it is used

A typical workflow invokes Hookmark over the currently selected resource, copies its link, and uses `Hook to Copied Link` to create a bidirectional relationship with another item. Users can later navigate through hooked items, search the bookmarks database, apply tags, or create portable plain-text `.hookmark` files. The documented default location for generated Hookmark files is `~/Documents/Hook/Hook Files`; this is a user-content directory, not an application configuration file.

Why package nerds care

Hookmark appeals to macOS power users because it creates stable, automatable links across otherwise separate applications and data stores. Its plain-text `.hookmark` files can be kept in synchronized folders or version-control repositories, making contextual links portable and inspectable in ways that Finder aliases often are not.

Timeline

  • 2022: Hook was renamed Hookmark and `.hookmark` files were introduced.
  • 2023: Official documentation described planned mobile access to synchronized bookmarks.
  • 2025: Hookmark 6.1 added tagging across linked resources.

Related projects

  • Hookmark integrates with many independent macOS tools rather than replacing them, including DEVONthink, Obsidian, Craft, OmniFocus, Things, Finder, and Apple Mail.
  • Hookmark for iPhone and iPad extends access to the product's linked information on mobile Apple devices.
