What is it?
Linkit is a desktop bookmark manager for organizing saved links into searchable knowledge. Bookmarks are stored in a local SQLite database by default and can be synced across devices through a Supabase (PostgreSQL) backend with row-level security, so each user only accesses their own records. Users can import from browser HTML exports, Raindrop.io CSV/JSON files, and pasted URLs.
AI features are optional and require the user to supply an OpenAI- or DeepSeek-compatible API key, or a local model such as Ollama. With a model configured, Linkit can summarize pages, suggest tags and categories, build collections from natural-language prompts, and run semantic search. API keys are kept in the OS keychain.
Other built-in tools include duplicate detection, a background link health check for 404s and changed pages, a knowledge graph view, and periodic insight reports. The app is built with Go and Wails for the backend and React with Vite and TypeScript for the frontend, and runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
