About Linkwarden
Linkwarden is an open-source bookmark manager that collects, reads, annotates and preserves web pages. Saved pages are backed up in multiple formats, including full HTML content, so the original material remains available even if the live page changes or disappears. It offers a reader view with font adjustments, text highlighting and annotations, AI-powered tagging and search filters, sharing and collaboration on collections, RSS feed following, bulk actions, import/export, and API access tokens for integrations. Linkwarden runs on web, iOS and Android, with a browser extension, and can be self-hosted; its source code is public. Some capabilities depend on optional services or your own setup, and cloud use requires creating an account.
