What is Linkwarden?

Linkwarden is a free, open-source, self-hosted bookmark manager for collecting, reading and preserving web pages. Each link is saved as a screenshot, PDF and HTML copy so it survives link rot, and you can highlight in reader view, organise collections with tags, auto-tag with local AI and share collections with your team.

Third-party open-source projects. We are not affiliated with their authors; repositories are provided as-is by their maintainers. Review each project's license, code and security before installing. See our Disclaimer.

Pros: what Linkwarden does well

  • Saved pages stay readable even if the site goes down
  • Highlights and notes in reader view
  • Free and open source

Cons: where it falls short

  • Self-hosting needs a server and some setup
  • Linkwarden Cloud is a paid subscription

Who Linkwarden is for

Researchers, students and teams who save lots of links and want them preserved and searchable.

Who can skip it

People happy with their browser's built-in bookmarks.
