I am looking for a self hosted bookmark manager. Does anyone have any experience to share?

Ideally I’d like:

  • Self hosted with FOSS license
  • Firefox integration (ideally on android, too)
  • ideally no AI features or at least opt-in
  • ideally human driven development (as little AI code as possible)

Linkwarden, Karakeep, Nextcloud/bookmarks seems to be the main ones.

    Check shiori out. It’s very minimal in terms of features, but it’s a project that seems to not use LLMs at all. It has a Firefox extension and recently someone made a vibecoded android app.

    I tried Floccus and Linkwarden. Floccus was better way of handling bookmarks but it was not reliable between my 4 browsers. Linkwarden is something different than what I was used to but I like it, I like lots of space for descriptons and i like how it can preserve content with e.g. screenshot.

    I tried Floccus, Linkwarden and Karakeep but ultimately settled on Linkding as it gave me the least trouble and is the only one with a browser extension that allowed me to add tags while saving a bookmark rather than having to go back in and add them after the fact.

    I would recommend Floccus.

    I tried Linkwarden and others, ultimately didn’t want to consume half a gig of ram for this when all I need it simple bookmarks. I sync through WebDAV and use the addons in all my browsers and the app on Android. Works great.

      Exactly my story. Putting stuff into and getting it back out of Linkwarden was way too cumbersome, even with the FF addon installed. I want to just Control + D/B to throw something inside / get something out of my bookmarks. Linmwarden’s preservation of content is nice and all, but I found I rarely if ever needed that functionality.

    I use Nextcloud’s bookmarks plugin and sync it to librewolf with floccus. On graphene I install the Nextcloud bookmarks app since floccus isn’t available for ironfox

    I use linkwarden. Pretty easy to setup with docker and run behind a reverse proxy (you could probably do tailscale if that’s your thing). I have it setup with a few RSS feeds to download blog updates and it seems to work well. I didn’t configure it to use a local LLM so I have to manually organize my bookmarks. Usually I do that in bulk once every few weeks. I’m happy with it.

    I recently went on the same journey and decided on Floccus on WebDAV. All I wanted was a straightforward way to share my bookmarks across devices, not be locked into anything, and not have a ton of features I’d never use. Since I already had WebDAV set up, it was just a matter of installing clients.
