The last such upgrade was in October 2015. Instead of funding its operations by pushing featured websites, Sheep Systems “pays its bills the old-fashioned way, by selling the apps.” BookMacster, Synkmark and Smarky get frequent updates due to frequent changes in web browsers, and occasionally Sheep Systems charges for major upgrades. “There is no sense duplicating services built into web browsers, which most users are using at least one of anyhow.” “We work in *tandem* with iCloud, Firefox Sync, *Sign In* to Google and Opera Sync”, Krinock explains. Unlike Xmarks, these apps do not sync your bookmarks to a Sheep Systems server. “And most users nowadays *are* using iCloud for Safari, because iCloud is the only way to sync Safari bookmarks on iOS devices.” “To our knowledge, our four apps are the only non-Apple apps that can properly sync with Safari bookmarks in iCloud,” says Sheep Systems’ Chief Engineer Jerry Krinock. Markster users can sync with the browsers’ bookmarks, but only manually. Markster ($16.95 USD) takes a different approach, providing a central store of bookmarks which is accessed directly, bypassing the built-in bookmarks of web browsers.Smarky ($11.95 USD) is the manager for Safari bookmarks only.For example, it supports bookmarks collections in multiple documents instead of a single “shoebox”. BookMacster ($22.95 USD) is geared toward power users who don’t mind a little more cognitive overhead.
