Linkwarden 2.15 - open-source collaborative bookmark manager to collect, read, annotate, and fully preserve what matters (tons of new features!) š [AIP]
https://github.com/linkwarden/linkwarden
Hello everyone! Daniel here.
Today, Iām excited to announce that Linkwarden is getting one of its largest mobile updates so far, along with a web app thatās much lighter to run.
For those who are new here, Linkwarden is a tool for collecting, organizing, reading, and preserving webpages, articles, and documents in one place. Linkwarden is available as a Cloud offering, or you can self-host it on your own server.
Letās get into it.
Whatās new on mobile:
šļø Highlight and annotate
You can now highlight text in the reader view, pick from four colors, and attach a note to any highlight.
Thereās also a new Notes & Highlights view per article which lets you skim what youāve marked and jump to it in the text.
š„ True offline mode
Previously, the app only saved preserved formats for links you had already opened. Now, you can turn on Save for offline access in the settings, and the app will download every preserved format in the background as you browse.
šŖŖ Link details sheet
Long-press any link to open Link Details, which shows all the information about a link in one sheet, similar to the web app.
š Customizable reader view
Adjust font, text size, line height, and background color as you read.
Whatās new on the web:
š§ Much lower memory usage
Linkwarden 2.15 roughly halves idle memory usage, from around 700 MB down to about 350 MB. We explained this in more detail on our blog.
š³ A much smaller Docker image
The Docker image has also been cut in half, dropping from roughly 3.0 GB to 1.5 GB.
š Generic OIDC provider
Self-hosters can now connect any OpenID Connect identity provider. Check it out in the docs!
š Increased security
A good chunk of this release went into security hardening. We strongly recommend updating to 2.15.
Thereās moreā¦
As always, thereās a long tail of smaller improvements across the web and the mobile app.
Full Changelog: https://github.com/linkwarden/linkwarden/compare/v2.14.1ā¦v2.15.0
Thanks!
Thanks to everyone using Linkwarden, reporting bugs, suggesting improvements, contributing to the project, responsibly disclosing security issues, and supporting its development. Your contributions genuinely shape every release.
If youād like to try Linkwarden without dealing with server setup and maintenance, our Cloud offering is the easiest way to get started.
We hope you enjoy the latest Linkwarden updates!

joelle_etherIāve been using firefox since it was firebird and have a large collection of bookmarks, so much that I rarely use the feature anymore as it would just be adding to the pile, would this be a good solution to try to organize them or is there a better tool for that?
Yep, thatās actually one of the use cases I built Linkwarden for. Would love to hear how it works for your collection if you give it a try.
Super Iāll give it a whirl then, will do! Iām not super timely but Iāll get to it haha. Thanks for making it! :)
Please also add the disclosure, see expanded details for rule 8 and the examples post
Thanks!
Would you ever offer a cloud plan thatās just a bookmarking service and nothing else, at much much lower cost of course?
Hosted by us
Permanent archives
Optional AI tagging
Full-text search
Highlights and annotations
RSS feeds
Priority support
Automatic updates
Up to 30,000 Links
Support open source!
You know, something like this. If it doesnāt financially and logistically make sense then itās okay and one would understand. Thank you for this cool FOSS tool by the way.
I hope you one day add client sourced snapshot content so pages behind an authentication layer can be archived. Would also make for better snapshots on pages where pesky cookie pop-ups cover the screen..
Thereās a browser extension which lets you upload the screenshot of the page
And you can also upload from singlefile
irmadladLinkwarden is the gold standard imho. Covers everything I would ever need to do with bookmarks and more. I updated the last time OP posted here. Solid app.
SibboThis looks cool! Does it support tracking websites for changes as well, such as changedetection.io? And does it beat bot-detection?
Thanks!

This is outside the scope of this project.
does it beat bot-detection?
This is a cat and mouse game. It beats some, for others we have to come up with ideas and workarounds like using the browser extension or SingleFile to upload the pages from the client side.
dumnezerohow do I know that this isnāt used to create crawling and AI training data?
rowdyYou review the open source code yourself.
It would be a service layer question:
Our official Cloud offering provides the simplest way to begin using Linkwarden and itās the preferred choice for many due to its time-saving benefits.
EarMasterIf you donāt trust the hosted service you can always self-host it.
If you donāt trust yourselfā¦
Social bookmarking is reddit and lemmy and piefed. Self-hosting is not going to cover this kind of tool that benefits from more users.
I may be wrong, but it seems to me there is a misunderstanding of what Linkwarden is.
collaborative bookmarking tool that keeps permanent snapshot of the content of the links you save, so you can still access them even if the original content is no longer available.
whatās missing? The cached page feature?

AI Project per OP:
@daniel31x13@lemmy.world can you please update the title with the appropriate tag? [CBH] or [AIP]
See rules 7/8 for details, ask if you have any questions
Updated to [AIP], since āAI Assistedā is also part of it.
Appreciated, thanks!
Since it is AI assisted, can you add the disclosure portion (Rule 8)? A reply to the top level distinguished comment works, the disclosure info is here.
I know, a lot of steps involved now, but the community is a pretty wide split on AI use.
The scope is āImplementation,ā āTestingā (to some extent), and āDocumentation.ā
Thanks, just one more bit which would be the level of AI assistance:
Just for each part of it, Iāll update in my comment above
āAssistedā
Thanks!
Np!
Truly disgusted that a post disclosing the project is AI assisted gets this many upvotes. Iām out.
Part of the point of the [AIP] tag is your ability to filter these posts out.
The decision of what you want to do is obviously yours alone, though.
I started using it like 2 weeks ago, loving it so far! Thank you for doing this!
Happy to help!
Hmmm I seem to be still on v2.14.1 but Iām not getting an alert that it needs an update. Linkwarden is a solid piece of work Daniel. I use it daily. Thank you.
Itās ready :)
Fresh out the oven!
Sweet!
Thanks! The Docker image is still being built: https://github.com/linkwarden/linkwarden/actions/runs/29108496372/job/86414833597
Should be ready in less than an hour or so.
Folks whoāve used Linkwarden and archivebox, which do you prefer? Is one a superset of the other?
I wouldnāt consider them directly comparable since they are both trying to achieve different goals.
Linkwarden is a bookmark manager that allows for single html webpage backups.
Archivebox uses WARC - which produces an offline, fully navigable website
Has anyone compared with Karakeep? Which do you prefer?
It was close for me but I went with link warden because you can hide link cover images in the main view.
How does that compare to wallabag? (Does it?)
Lovely to see that a lot of effort was made to make this much more memory efficient! The main reason I bounced off from this before was itās large footprint on my Unraid server. Will definitely take a 2nd look now!
Awesome!
Update looks awesome at a glance, thanks for all your hard work!
Appreciate the support!

ZOMG I think I need this!!! I love my bookmarks but have a hell of a time sorting them.
Haha, you should give it a try!
