Hashmarks¶
Hashmarks are bookmarks for IPFS objects (that can be links to directories, webpages, documents, text files, …). Hashmarks are referenced by the full IPFS path of the object and can contain fragments. These are all valid paths for hashmarks:
/ipfs/zdj7WazZDaMUSua3wCKgjPAj9bZXbh2EMUHzFTEmHh1BUs2uH
/ipfs/zdj7WazZDaMUSua3wCKgjPAj9bZXbh2EMUHzFTEmHh1BUs2uH/settings.html
/ipfs/zdj7WazZDaMUSua3wCKgjPAj9bZXbh2EMUHzFTEmHh1BUs2uH/settings.html#ipfs-settings
/ipns/dist.ipfs.io/favicon.ico
You can create hashmarks from many places, like in a browser tab, or from the filemanager.
Pressing Ctrl+b from the browser will hashmark the current page if it’s a valid IPFS object. From the clipboard manager you can create hashmarks as well, by opening the menu of the clipboard item of your choice and clicking on the Hashmark action.
Hashmarks are given a category, a title, description and icon (that will be stored within IPFS). Flagging a hashmark as shared means that it will be shared on the network with other peers (off by default). Received hashmarks are RSA-encrypted in your IPFS repository with your profile’s RSA key, and searchable from the hashmarks library.
Searching¶

The hashmarks library button gives you the ability to search for content in the global hashmarks database (local hashmarks and hashmarks sent from other peers). To quickly access the hashmarks search you can press Mod+Control+h (Alt+Control+h on Linux or Command+Control+h on MacOS), or just click on the hashmarks library button in the toolbar.
Your search query will be applied to the title, description, comment or object path (so you can search for CIDs) of hashmarks. The search is case-insensitive.
After typing a search query, run the search by pressing Shift + Return.
Following IPNS keys¶
There is basic support for following IPNS names/keys. When browsing an IPNS path (e.g /ipns/awesome.ipfs.io), open the IPFS menu on the left, and click on Follow IPNS resource).
The IPNS name or key will be periodically resolved (the resolve frequency is configurable). The resolved entries are added as hashmarks inside the IPNS feed and can be browsed from the hashmarks manager.
