Bookmarks

Overview

Bookmarks let you star individual records for quick access. Bookmarked items appear in a dedicated section of the sidebar, giving you one-click navigation to records you access frequently. Bookmarks work across all providers — Firestore documents, PostgreSQL rows, and DynamoDB items.

Adding Bookmarks

1. Open a document in the inspector by clicking it in the collection browser.
2. Click the star icon in the inspector toolbar.
3. The document is now bookmarked and appears in the sidebar.

The star icon fills in to indicate the document is bookmarked.

Accessing Bookmarks

Bookmarked documents appear in the Bookmarks section of the sidebar, below the project connection picker. Each bookmark shows:

• The collection name for context
• The document ID for identification

Click any bookmark to navigate directly to that document, opening it in the inspector.

Removing Bookmarks

Remove bookmarks in two ways:

• From the inspector — click the filled star icon to un-bookmark the document
• From the sidebar — right-click a bookmark and select Remove Bookmark

Per-Connection Storage

Bookmarks are scoped to the active connection. This means:

• Each connection (production, staging, emulator) has its own bookmark list
• Bookmarks for a production project do not appear when you switch to the emulator connection
• This prevents confusion when the same document IDs exist in different environments

Persistence

Bookmarks are stored locally in ~/Library/Application Support/Stackpane/bookmarks.json and persist across app launches. They are not synced between machines.

Use Cases

Frequently Accessed Documents

Bookmark configuration documents, admin accounts, or reference data that you access regularly.

Active Investigation

While investigating an issue, bookmark the relevant documents so you can quickly return to them as you gather information.

Key Resources

Star important documents like the app configuration document, feature flag settings, or the admin user account for instant access.

Tips

• Keep your bookmark list focused on actively used documents — remove bookmarks you no longer need
• Use bookmarks alongside workspace tabs: bookmarks for long-term quick access, tabs for short-term multi-document work
• Remember that bookmarks are connection-specific when working with multiple environments
