What is it?

linkding-cn is a self-hosted bookmark manager and read-later tool, forked from linkding and extended with Simplified Chinese localization. It saves bookmarks with automatically fetched favicons, metadata and HTML snapshots, and supports custom site adapters written as declarative rules or scripts to control how metadata, snapshots and reading pages are extracted.

The project adds a reading view that extracts the main article body with Defuddle, with adjustable theme, font, line height and width. Readers can highlight and annotate text. Tag handling includes pinyin-aware autocomplete, one-click preset tag buttons, and tree-style tag grouping, alongside saved filters, a recycle bin, bulk link health checks and a collection dashboard with heatmap and calendar charts.

It supports multiple users with password or SSO login, sharing bookmarks with other users or guests, Netscape HTML import and export, and a REST API. It deploys as a single Docker container backed by SQLite, using Docker Compose.
