I’ve been using Hookmark since it was Hook. It’s been a fantastic addition to my workflow. Recently, however, it has stopped pasting URLs. For example:
I invoke HM while using a web browser (Arc/Safari)
I press ⌘C
I move to any app that accepts text input (iMessage, Word, etc.) and press ⌘V
Instead of pasting the expected URL, it simply pastes text with no link info (i.e., the page name.)
I’m using MacOS Sequoia 15.2, Hookmark Pro version 6.5 (6117) (Scripts version 345), and usually Arc Browser Version 1.71.0 (56196)-RC, Chromium Engine Version 131.0.6778.86.)
It is true that in rare apps, such as Apple Messages, when pasting the link, only the name part of the link shows up. For those rare cases, we recommend doing Copy As Markdown Link instead. (THat’s how I handle it in Messages.)
I have the latest MS Word and macOS 15.1.1 and I can paste fine in MS Word. Overnight, I will update my system to the latest version of macOS to see if there is an issue.
Are there other apps where you experience this issue?
Are you perhaps using a clipboard manager. Some of them interfere with the clipboard.
I expect that there may be some conflicts that prevent ^H in Hookmark from being able to find linkable items in Arc. Are any of these known? Any workarounds?
If you run the following script in Script Editor, what do you get?
tell application "Arc"
set theTitle to title of active tab of front window
set theUrl to URL of active tab of front window
return "[" & theTitle & "](" & theUrl & ")"
end tell
Here is a list that will cause “No linkable items is found” error. Could you please go through it and see if it is help? It is very likely it is the reason listed in section 1.1 or section 2. No Linkable Item in … – Hookmark
The screenshots on that page are not for the latest macOS. On newer macOS, You can alwasy use search in Settings to find them.
Via clipboard works, and I might use if I can get KM to do it with a macro.

No item is selected—If an item in the sidebar is highlighted, ^H will find the link, but still not if the cursor is in the active window. This partially resolves the question, but it is more like transferring bookmarks than bookmarking the link in the currently active window.
They release fairly aggressively—I got 1.76 autoloaded today. Most of these are pretty minor. See the current release notes. If you’re not in a hurry, contact them to get on the early release cycle. Support page.
The updates install by overwriting the app, so I don’t have a pkg or dmg file to send. If you’re in a hurry, I can try dropping the 1gb app to your FTP.
