Bookmarks & Reading List
Vast provides two different ways to save a page: Bookmarks for durable organization and Reading List for things you intend to return to.
Bookmarks
Section titled “Bookmarks”A bookmark can store:
- title;
- URL;
- favicon;
- folder;
- optional workspace association;
- creation and update time.
Folders
Section titled “Folders”Bookmark folders support hierarchy and ordering. Use them when the collection itself matters — for example, projects, research areas, tools, or recurring destinations.
Bookmarks bar
Section titled “Bookmarks bar”The bookmarks bar can be:
- hidden;
- always visible;
- visible only on New Tab.
Side panel and Command Palette
Section titled “Side panel and Command Palette”Bookmarks are available from the sidebar and are searchable from the Command Palette. Opening a bookmark from a fresh New Tab can reuse that tab instead of creating unnecessary tab clutter.
Reading List
Section titled “Reading List”A Reading List item can contain a title, URL, favicon, excerpt, read state, workspace association, and timestamps.
Use Reading List when the important question is “Have I come back to this yet?”, not “Where should this permanently live?”
Pages can be saved to Reading List directly from browser actions and from supported macros.
Local-first behavior
Section titled “Local-first behavior”Bookmarks and Reading List are part of Vast’s local profile data and are included in normal data export/backup workflows.
