What is it?

LinkAce is a self-hosted web application for managing a personal link archive. Users save links, organize them with lists and tags, and retrieve them through an advanced search with filters and ordering. It is meant as a structured, personal database of online resources rather than a replacement for browser bookmarks.

The app can generate titles and descriptions automatically when saving a link, and it monitors links to report when they become unavailable or move. Saved sites can be archived through the Internet Archive. Multi-user support allows sharing links, lists or tags internally, and links can be public or private, with lists available via RSS feeds.

LinkAce provides a full REST API and a bookmarklet for saving from any browser. It supports OAuth and OIDC for single sign-on, HTML import and export of bookmarks, and backups of the database and application to AWS S3-compatible storage. It can be installed with Docker, directly on PHP, or on Kubernetes.
