Browse your library views

Search is best when you remember a phrase. The library’s focused views are better when you remember what kind of save you are looking for. All of them live in the sidebar of your library.

The Bredbox library with the sidebar showing Inbox, collections, filters, and tags.

Bredbox includes dedicated views for common save states:

View Use it when…
Inbox You want your active library — everything you’ve saved and not archived.
Reading You want articles you’ve started but not finished, most recent first.
Favorites You want links you marked as especially important.
Archive You want links you kept but moved out of the Inbox.
Highlights You want saves that contain highlighted passages.
Trash You want something you deleted in the last 30 days.

Archive is a good alternative to deleting when you may need the link again later, and Trash is the safety net when you delete anyway.

Bredbox classifies saves by content type where it can:

View What it shows
Articles Long-form pages with readable article content.
Videos Watch-later links recognized as video content.
Recipes Recipe pages with structured cooking details.

These views work best after Bredbox has finished processing the save.

Tags in the sidebar lists every tag in your library; open one to see all its saves. See Use tags.

Every save list has a display mode toggle in the header row, next to the page title:

  • List — compact rows, titles only. Best for scanning a lot of saves.
  • Tiles — cards with preview images. Best for visual browsing (and recipes).
  • Details — everything: image, description, and tags.

Your choice is saved to your account, so the library looks the same on every device you use. Keyboard fans can switch with V L, V T, and V D.

A save may not appear in a type view if Bredbox could not confidently classify it. Common reasons include:

  • The page has limited metadata.
  • The page relies heavily on scripts.
  • The save was added recently and processing is not finished.
  • The site does not publish its recipe or article data in a standard way.

The save still remains in your Inbox even if it does not appear in a focused type view.
