Creative ways to use bookmark separators

By Sam Wilson. Last updated August 1, 2026.

Separators do more than split your bar into sections. Each one can be any shape and color you like, so you can use it as a signpost. A red arrow can point to the tools you open every morning. A green dot can mark what you only need later. Used this way, you stop hunting through identical favicons and start finding things at a glance. Here are a few ways to use them.

Highlight the bookmarks you use most

Put a bright separator right before the two or three bookmarks you open all the time. The color draws your eye to that spot. Your most used links become the easiest to reach, instead of getting lost in the row.

Group by time of day

Your morning links are not your afternoon links. Use one color for the things you check first, like email and planning tools. Use another for the work you do later. The separators act like chapter markers across your day.

Keep work and personal apart

Keep everything in one browser? A couple of separators draw a clear line between work and personal bookmarks. You get one bar, without the two worlds mixing. A different color for each side makes the split easy to spot.

Mark your projects

Juggling several projects? Give each one its own color. Switching context becomes a quick scan for the right color, not a slow read of every label. The time saved adds up each time you move between tasks. To match a brand color exactly, or add a heading label, see advanced colors and labels.

One color per project

Let shapes carry meaning

The shape can mean something too. An arrow can mean start here. A star can mean important. A number can show the order to work through. Keep your code simple and consistent, and your bar reads like a tidy index.

Shapes as signposts

Or keep it quiet

Not every separator has to be loud. When you want groups without a single line or shape, reach for the Diviide Space Separator. It opens a clean gap between sections and shows nothing else, so your bar stays calm and still reads as groups.
