Learn how to synch Horse Browser between devices using its Markdown import and export features. Move links and trails between devices to help keep your workflow uninterrupted and organised
Horse Browser replaces traditional browser tabs with a unique navigation system named Trails, offering an organised, clutter-free way to browse the web.
In this post, we’ll walk you through how to synch Horse Browser between devices. If you want to learn more about how to install and use Horse Browser on multiple devices, read our how-to guide.

➤ Synching Horse Browser Using Import and Export Features

Horse Browser currently operates without data telemetry, meaning all your information is stored locally for maximum privacy, with no cloud syncing available. However, plans are in place to introduce secure syncing in the future, ensuring user data remains protected. In the meantime, you can easily transfer Trails between devices using Horse Browser's export feature. Let’s explore how!

➤ Exporting Trails and Links from Horse Browser

Step 1: Open Horse Browser

Launch Horse Browser on the device that holds the Trails and links you want to export. Make sure it’s updated to the latest version for optimal performance.

Step 2: Navigate to the "Export" Feature

  1. Visit the Menu at the top of the browser.
  1. Select File from the dropdown menu.
  1. Choose Copy Trail as Markdown. This action will copy the entire Trail, including links, as Markdown text.

Step 3: Save and Transfer the Export

Transfer the copied Markdown text to your new device using one of several methods. You can paste and save the text as a local .md file, then transfer it via your preferred service (e.g., Google Drive, Dropbox). Alternatively, paste the text into Apple Notes, allowing you to easily access it from your other device through synched Notes.

➤ Importing Trails and Links to Horse Browser on a New Device

Step 1: Open Horse Browser on the New Device

Install and launch Horse Browser on the device where you want to import your Trails and links. Ensure the browser is up to date.

Step 2: Use the "Import" Feature

  1. Go to the Menu and select File.
  1. Choose Import Trails. This will open the Import Editor.

Step 3: Paste Your Exported Links and Trails

  1. In the Import Editor, paste the Markdown text from your saved file into the left column.
  1. A preview of your Trail will appear on the right side.

Step 4: Finalize the Import

Once you're happy with the structure, click Import. Your Trail will appear at the top of your sidebar, where you can rename, rearrange, and customise, as you wish.
By following these steps, you can quickly export and import your saved Trails and links in Horse Browser, ensuring you maintain a seamless browsing experience across devices.

➤ In conclusion

Transferring your Trails between devices is easy with Horse Browser’s import and export features. By simply copying and pasting your links as Markdown text into Horse Browser’s Import Editor, you can seamlessly move Trails from one device to another. This ensures that your workflow stays organised and uninterrupted, no matter which device you're using.

Sencha Tea

Sencha (煎茶) is a type of Japanese ryokucha (緑茶, green tea) which is prepared by infusing the processed whole tea leaves in hot water. This is as opposed to matcha (抹茶), powdered Japanese green tea, where the green tea powder is mixed with hot water and therefore the leaf itself is included in the beverage. Sencha is the most popular tea in Japan. It represents about 80 percent of the tea produced in Japan.
