Hookmark

Link files, emails and pages together for each project

MacFree to start

The verdict

Every project scatters across a PDF, an email thread, a web page and a folder, and finding them again means searching each app. Hookmark copies a link to almost anything and hooks related items together, so one shortcut shows everything tied to the file in front of you, even after you move it. Licenses include only 12 months of updates, and the free mode cannot copy links, so most people end up paying.
