Linkwarden 2.16 - 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, and Iām back with a new Linkwarden release across web and mobile.
For those who are wondering, Linkwarden is an open-source 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. Linkwarden is available as a Cloud offering, or you can get the source code on GitHub and self-host it on your own server with no strings attached. If you find it useful, consider starring the repo so others can discover it too!
So letās get into it.
Whatās new in mobile:
- Support for self-signed certificates and custom request headers: Android now accepts self-signed certificates, and you can add custom request headers to the appās requests. This makes the app usable with instances behind a reverse proxy or auth layer like Authelia or Cloudflare Access.
- Re-preserve link formats: You can now re-generate a linkās preserved formats (screenshot, PDF, readable view) from the mobile app, useful if the original preservation failed or the page has changed since.
- Change linkās banner: You can now set a custom banner image for a link when editing it.
- Access more account options in Settings: Settings now has a āMore Account Settingsā option that opens your full account settings inside the app, using your existing session.
(Android is out, iOS is still in review and it should be out later today.)
Whatās new in web:
Refreshed, more modern design: The top navbar is removed and its functionality moved into the sidebar, plus a number of smaller UX fixes. ļæ¼
New search modal with recent search history: Press
āK(orCtrl+K) anywhere to open a search modal. It also keeps your recent searches stored locally in the browser. ļæ¼New āSystemā theme option: The theme can now follow your OS light/dark preference instead of being set manually. ļæ¼
PNG support for link banners: Link banners now accept PNG uploads in addition to JPEG.
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/v2.15.1ā¦v2.16.0
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. š
If youād like to try Linkwarden without dealing with server setup and maintenance, our Cloud offering is the easiest way to get started.
Hope you enjoy the latest updates!

AI Project per OP:
- Implementation: Assisted
- Testing: Assisted
- Documentation: Assisted
@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.
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:
- Hint - AI suggested solution, human does the task.
- Assisted - AI acts on part of a task, but a human handled the bulk.
- Pair - About a 50/50 split of human made and generated.
- Generated - Human prompted, AI generated.
Just for each part of it, Iāll update in my comment above
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!
irmadladHmmm 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.
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.
Avid AmoebaFolks whoāve used Linkwarden and archivebox, which do you prefer? Is one a superset of the other?
rowdyI 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.

sofinzkiLovely 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!
Update looks awesome at a glance, thanks for all your hard work!
ZOMG I think I need this!!! I love my bookmarks but have a hell of a time sorting them.

Iāve 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! :)
Happy to help!
Please also add the disclosure, see expanded details for rule 8 and the examples post
Thanks!
Implementation: Assisted
Testing: Assisted
Documentation: Assisted
Much appreciated!
No problem! Thanks for your work!
Would you ever offer a cloud plan thatās just a bookmarking service and nothing else, at much much lower cost of course?
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.
Very happy to have this. Thank you
Really glad to hear that, thank you!
This 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.
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.
I see, thanks :)
Linkwarden 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.
Awesome! Thanks for the support!
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
Thanks for the info. Will check it out.
How does this compare to readeck?
how do I know that this isnāt used to create crawling and AI training data?
You review the open source code yourself.
It would be a service layer question:
If 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.
whatās missing? The cached page feature?
