About linkding
linkding is a self-hosted bookmark manager built to be minimal, fast and easy to set up. It is open source and runs as a single Docker container.
What it does
linkding lets you save links, then search and find them later without much clutter. When you add a bookmark, it fetches the page title, description, icon and preview image. It can also keep snapshots of pages, either as local HTML files or on the Internet Archive. You can apply changes to many bookmarks at once, and import or export your collection in the Netscape HTML format.
Key features
- Fetches titles, descriptions and preview images
- Local or Internet Archive snapshots
- Bulk editing for many bookmarks
- Browser extensions for Firefox and Chrome
- REST API for scripts and third-party apps
Who it's for
Developers and self-hosters who want a simple place for bookmarks on their own server. It also suits people who find large bookmark tools distracting and want a focused list that is quick to search. Several users can be set up, with bookmarks shared with other users or guests.
Pricing and good to know
linkding is free to self-host and is released under the MIT licence. Because you run it yourself, you need a server or machine that can run Docker. It uses SQLite as its database, which keeps setup light. A demo is linked from the project site, so you can try it before you install.
