IOS – Add bookmarklet to mobile safari

Is there some easy method for installing bookmarklets on an iPad/iOS device that does't involve syncing my bookmarks with a computer somewhere?

Examples showing the sync with computer installation.

Best Answer

Copy/Paste Method

  1. On your device, copy the bookmarklet code.
    • If you don't have the bookmarklet code in plain text (just a link), the easiest thing to do is open the page with the link on a Mac or PC, copy the javascript contents of the bookmarklet and email them to yourself, then copy that on your device.
  2. Create a new bookmark for any site (doesn't matter which one).
  3. Open the bookmarks menu, tap Edit and select the bookmark you just created.
  4. Paste the bookmarklet code in place of the URL, then change the name to whatever you want.

That should give you a working bookmarklet without having to mess around with syncing.
