What is it?

linkding is a bookmark manager you host yourself. It aims to be minimal and fast, and it is set up with Docker. Bookmarks are organized with tags and can carry Markdown notes, with bulk editing and a read-it-later workflow for queuing pages.

When you save a URL, linkding fetches the page's title, description and icon automatically. It can also archive pages either as local HTML files or on the Internet Archive. Bookmarks can be imported and exported in Netscape HTML format, and bookmarks can be shared with other users or guests.

The project offers browser extensions for Firefox and Chrome, plus a bookmarklet, along with a REST API for third-party apps. It supports SSO via OIDC or authentication proxies and can be installed as a Progressive Web App. The backend is written in Django.
