Turtl Extension

This is the Chrome bookmarking extension for Turtl (https://turtlapp.com). It is meant to be run alongside the desktop app to allow easier bookmarking.

Turtl is open-source, allowing anybody to audit the source or run their own version: https://github.com/turtl

***

We believe you should have control over who has access to your data. This is a real problem: with increasing threats from hackers and government surveillance, how can you trust the online services that store your private information? The idea behind Turtl is that you shouldn't have to.

We've set up our service so that only you have the keys to your data and it gets encrypted before it leaves your computer. That way, even if the NSA wiretaps your Internet connection, even if an army of mercenaries storms our data-center and steals our hard drives, your data is unreadable to everyone, including us.

Because it's nobody else's business but yours.

Adriano Ponte (ID: 0000005569ec7b54) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 12/20/2019 "Problem connecting to Turtl There was an problem talking to the Turtl app. Make sure that Turtl is running and try clicking the button again. If you don't have the Turtl desktop app yet, you can get it from the Turtl download page."

Thiago Piardi (ID: 00000030df9dfde3) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 01/28/2019 If the windows software could at least minimize to tray it could be used, but as the main software hasn't this feature and the extention dont connect by itself to the DB this isn't very usefull.

Orbitalunderground HD Productions (ID: 000000b8bf84d09d) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/22/2018 Excellent. What a refreshing (SECURE) change of pace from the "other" note and bookmarking apps. ----------------- ABOUT EXTENSION TO DESKTOP SYNCING: What is everyone's dysfunction? It's VERY VERY SIMPLE: 1) Install the desktop program. 2) add this extension to chrome. 3)click the icon in the upper right of your chrome browser- (where all chrome extension links go.) it will present a box and ask for the sync code from the desktop app. 4)OPEN THE DESKTOP PROGRAM & SIGN IN WITH YOUR CREDENTIALS. **YOU WILL VERY PLAINLY SEE A CODE INSIDE A BOX COME UP (for me it was in the bottom right atop the windows taskbar- its a long random aphanumeric string- highlight it and hit control+c then return to the empty box still hanging in the upper right of chrome click inside that box and control+v BOOM... DONE... DOnt even have to hit enter to submit. Thanks to the Devs for this gem!!
