Linkwarden

Collaborative bookmark manager with built-in web archiving against link rot.

Linkwarden is a self-hosted, open-source collaborative bookmark manager that collects, reads, annotates, and fully preserves web content. Every saved page is archived in multiple formats including full HTML, ensuring your bookmarks remain accessible even if the original site disappears — making it both a read-later tool and a personal web archive in one platform.

Features

Full-page preservation — automatically archives every saved link via Monolith (offline-ready HTML), screenshots, PDFs, and readability-extracted text
Read and annotate — dedicated reader view with highlightable text, adjustable fonts, and inline annotations
Multi-user collaboration — shared collections for teams, families, or research groups with granular role controls
AI-powered tagging — automatic categorization using OpenAI, Ollama, Anthropic, Azure, or other AI providers
MeiliSearch full-text search — fast, accurate search across all saved content including archived page text
RSS feed subscriptions — follow RSS feeds directly in collections with configurable polling intervals
Browser extension & mobile apps — one-click saving from any browser; native iOS/Android apps and PWA support
Import/export bookmarks — supports Netscape HTML bookmark format for migrating from other managers
Multiple SSO providers — GitHub, Google, Keycloak, Azure AD, Auth0, OIDC, and 40+ more login options
S3-compatible storage — optional external file storage via AWS S3 or any compatible provider

Deploy and Host

Deploy Linkwarden on Railway in one click with a managed PostgreSQL database. The template provisions both services automatically and configures the database connection.

About Hosting

Linkwarden runs as a Next.js application behind a Railway-generated domain with automatic TLS. The companion PostgreSQL service uses a persistent volume so your data survives restarts and redeploys.

Why Deploy

Self-hosted bookmark management with full web archiving. Your data stays under your control with no third-party dependency on cloud services.

Common Use Cases

Team knowledge base with shared collections
