Linkwarden
Collect, read, annotate, and preserve links with Linkwarden, a self-hosted collaborative bookmark manager.
About Linkwarden
Linkwarden is an open-source, self-hosted bookmark manager for collecting, reading, annotating, and preserving web pages. It saves a copy of each page as a screenshot, PDF, and single HTML file, and provides a reader view with highlighting and annotation. Links can be organized by collection, sub-collection, and tags, with full-text search, filtering, and sorting.
It supports shared collections with per-member permissions and public link sharing. Self-hosting requires deploying and maintaining a server instance, and the mobile apps require a Linkwarden Cloud or self-hosted account.
