Here is a good list of apps in the category that I’m talking about, although still haven’t found one I really like (for this purpose):

In MS Word online version, can use MS OneDrive free cloud or even Dropbox. It’s a bit tricky to get to show dropbox in Word online, but eventually it shows up.

It may not be an obvious choice, and might be more expensive a solution than you want, but I think TheBrain could handle this. You can drag URLs directly into the Plex and categorize them in a number of ways. You can keep your list in sync among Windows, Mac and iOS.
For what it’s worth.

Thanks everyone. This conversation really helped me think through exactly what I needed. In the end I found something that works really well for me: Todoist.
I don’t use Todoist as a to-do list (I use 2Do for that) so I will be only using it for this purpose, and the free version of the app has more than enough features for me.
It supports Markdown formatted links, just like Dynalist, so it is easy to move things between the two.
It supports multiple means of capturing links including an excellent iOS and Chrome extensions.
Unlike Dynalist it captures links directly as Markdown and can send incoming links to any list (not just an inbox)
Since it is a task manager, it works great for different time frames since items can be checked off when completed, or can be saved in lists for “someday”
In short, it covers nearly all the requirements I was looking for.

Todoist is a very useful outliner, it must be said, with fantastic cross-platform support.
Otherwise I’d go with washere’s recommended simplenote, or else with Joplin, both of which have full cross-platform support and are very easy to use.
