Arc arc.net
The Browser Company's love letter to what a browser could be — sidebar spaces, split view, pastel gradients — now wearing a banner for Dia, its successor. Still one of the prettiest product pages in software.
A collection, not a feed
The sites you'd actually come back to.
Worth a Bookmark is a hand-kept collection of the web's best-built sites — each one reviewed by a person and saved with a note on why it's worth your Ctrl+D.

The folders
Tools & utilities 4 The calculators and converters that earn a permanent spot — small tools, kept forever. SaaS 3 Product sites you save before the trial ends — software explained well enough to shortlist. Developer tools 1 The tabs a working programmer keeps within reach — docs, tools and platforms that respect your time. Hardware & devices 1 Objects photographed so well you bookmark the page instead of the product. Art & museums 1 Collections and artists whose websites are worth the visit even when the building is far away. Publishing & media 1 Magazines and journals designed for actual reading — saved for the long article you will finish. Reference & directories 1 The look-it-up pages — archives and indexes you trust enough to keep. Games 1 Titles and studios whose sites play as well as the games. Science & research 1 Findings made readable — the explainer you send to three people after saving it.

Industries and subjects, filed the way a tidy bookmarks bar would file them.
By theme
How a site carries itself — from stripped-back to gleefully strange.
Fresh off the review
Recently saved
Resend resend.com
Email infrastructure pitched in near-total darkness: one glowing cube, code you could ship tonight, and a page that treats deliverability — the least glamorous problem in software — with gallery lighting.
CleanShot X cleanshot.com
A Mac screenshot tool demonstrated entirely through its own output: fifty features, each shown as a crisp captured frame with annotations drawn by the product itself. The page is one long proof of work.
Excalidraw excalidraw.com
No landing page, no pitch — excalidraw.com IS the whiteboard, open and ready, with hand-drawn arrows pointing at the tools. The fastest route from URL to usefulness anywhere on this list.
Readwise readwise.io
The app for people who highlight books and never look at the highlights again. Serif headlines, a laptop mockup of your daily review, and a wall of real tweets doing the testimonial work.
Kagi kagi.com
The paid search engine that explains "no ads, no tracking" with hand-drawn dogs, side-by-side result mockups, and an FAQ that starts by asking the question you were already thinking.
Windy windy.com
The weather site that skips the weather site: you land directly on a living map of the atmosphere, wind streaking in particles, layers one tap away. A forecast you explore instead of read.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art metmuseum.org
The Met's site runs like its Great Hall: video of the Temple of Dendur up top, exhibitions and Van Gogh a scroll below, practical answers — admission, subway lines, hours — exactly where a visitor needs them.
Lichess lichess.org
Free chess, no ads, open source — with tens of thousands playing at any moment. The homepage is a quick-pairing grid and two live boards, and that spareness is the whole philosophy rendered in CSS.
DuckDuckGo duckduckgo.com
Privacy explained by a cartoon duck: pastel panels, a browser-comparison checklist, and complicated tracking concepts turned into pond-side illustrations a parent could repeat at dinner.
Why keep a collection by hand?
Feeds forget; bookmarks are a promise to come back. We review every suggestion in a real browser, save only the sites built well enough to deserve it, and write a plain note on why. Money can speed the answer up, never change it. And when a saved site stops being the site we saved, it comes off the list.
