Linkwarden
Linkwarden is a self-hosted, open-source collaborative bookmark manager that lets you save, organize, and preserve web pages with features like archiving (screenshots, PDFs, reader view), tagging, collections, and annotations. It serves as an alternative to tools like Raindrop.io (cloud bookmarking), Wallabag (read-it-later), ArchiveBox (web archiving), and other self-hosted bookmark managers such as linkding, LinkAce, and Shiori, offering a balance between rich UI, collaboration, and long-term link preservation.
Linkwarden is a self-hosted, open-source collaborative bookmark manager that helps you save, organize, and preserve web content.
It goes beyond simple bookmarking with features such as:
- 🗂️ Organization – Use tags, collections, and sub-collections
- 📑 Archiving – Save pages as screenshots, PDFs, or reader-friendly text
- 📝 Annotations – Add notes to links for better context
- 👥 Collaboration – Share collections and work together with others
This makes Linkwarden a powerful option for building a personal or shared knowledge library.
🔄 Alternatives
Linkwarden can be seen as an alternative to:
- Raindrop.io – A polished, cloud-based bookmark manager (not self-hosted or open source).
- Wallabag – A read-it-later tool focused on extracting and storing articles offline.
- ArchiveBox – A heavy-duty web archiver built for long-term preservation of entire sites.
- Other self-hosted managers like linkding, LinkAce, or Shiori, which are simpler but less feature-rich.
✅ Why Choose Linkwarden?
If you want a balance between modern UI, collaboration features, and robust archiving, Linkwarden offers a middle ground between minimalist bookmark tools and full archiving platforms. It’s especially useful for those who want to retain control of their data while still enjoying a polished and flexible bookmarking experience.
