Every bookmark failed to reach the Spotlight index. Each item died in translation with "Provided object for field url is of class NSURL, expected class: NSString", so on-device search and Ask Your Bookmarks were retrieving from an index that was effectively empty. Left to itself, App Intents indexes BookmarkEntity's `url` property under the attribute set's own `url` key, which Spotlight's Cascade translator types as NSString. Giving the property an explicit `indexingKey: \.contentURL` sends it to a URL-typed field instead — and contentURL is the right field for "where this content lives" regardless. Keeping the property a URL rather than retyping it to String means existing Shortcuts that read it are unaffected. The attribute set now sets contentURL too, and the retrieval side reads it back, so the round trip stays on one field. Why it went unnoticed: translation happens after `indexAppEntities` returns, so indexing logged success the whole time. Measured on the simulator against the live library — 202 translation failures per launch before, 0 after. Adds SpotlightRetrievalTests, which indexes a bookmark and retrieves it through the assistant's own path. Nothing weaker would have caught this, since the failure was silent at every layer above the index.

Marks
A native iOS client for linkding, the self-hosted bookmark manager.
Built from scratch in SwiftUI targeting iOS 26. Replaces the previous Flutter-based app.
Features
- Browse and search your bookmarks
- Swipe to delete or archive
- Add bookmarks manually
- Share to Marks from any app (share extension)
- Tag browser — see all tags sorted by count, tap to filter
- Native search tab with instant client-side filtering
- AI enrichment via OpenRouter — auto-generates summaries and tags for each bookmark
- Semantic search — rank bookmarks by relevance using AI
- Smart Collections — AI groups your bookmarks into themed collections
- Pagination — loads more as you scroll
Requirements
- iOS 26+
- A running linkding instance with API access
- (Optional) An OpenRouter API key for AI features
AI Features
All AI features are optional and powered by OpenRouter using google/gemini-2.0-flash-lite-001 — one of the cheapest available models (~$0.075/M input tokens).
| Feature | What it does |
|---|---|
| Auto-enrichment | Generates a one-sentence summary and 3-5 tags for each bookmark |
| Semantic search | Ranks your bookmarks by relevance to a natural language query |
| Smart Collections | Groups up to 150 bookmarks into 3-6 themed collections |
Add your OpenRouter API key in Settings to enable these features.
Building
Requires xcodegen.
brew install xcodegen
xcodegen generate
open Marks.xcodeproj
Then build and run in Xcode. The project uses automatic signing — set your development team in project.yml under DEVELOPMENT_TEAM.
Architecture
- SwiftUI with
@Observableand@MainActorthroughout (Swift 6 strict concurrency) - LinkdingAPI — thin wrapper around the linkding REST API
- ClaudeService — OpenRouter client for AI enrichment, semantic search, and collections
- BookmarksViewModel — central state: bookmarks list, pagination, search, enrichment progress
- App Groups — share extension and main app share credentials via
group.com.magicive.marks - UserDefaults — AI summaries and tags cached locally by bookmark ID
