What is Linkwarden?
Linkwarden is a free, open-source, self-hosted bookmark manager for collecting, reading and preserving web pages. Each link is saved as a screenshot, PDF and HTML copy so it survives link rot, and you can highlight in reader view, organise collections with tags, auto-tag with local AI and share collections with your team.
