ABOUT THE SOFTWARE

What is Linkwarden

Linkwarden is an open-source bookmark manager built around preservation. For every link you save it stores a screenshot, a PDF, and a single-file copy of the page, so the reference stays readable after the original changes or disappears.

The project is maintained from Toronto and released under the AGPL-3.0 licence. It is a Next.js application backed by PostgreSQL, with Meilisearch for full-text search and a headless Chromium worker, driven by Playwright and the monolith engine, that does the page capture. The repository sits at roughly 18,500 GitHub stars, and the project shipped official iOS and Android apps in December 2025.

Each saved link produces four preservation artifacts by default, and can optionally be pushed to the Wayback Machine for a second, independent snapshot. Version 2.14 added a User Content Domain, which serves preserved pages from a separate hostname so an archived page cannot reach the main app. This is the feature set DANIAN runs for you, tuned for production rather than left at install defaults.

FEATURES

What Linkwarden does

These are the things Linkwarden itself does once it is running. DANIAN keeps the platform around them healthy; the capabilities below are the reason teams choose this app over a plain bookmarking list.

Full-page preservation

Every link is captured as a screenshot, a PDF, a single-file HTML copy, and an extracted reader view, so the page survives the original.

Collections and sub-collections

Organise links into nested collections per project, matter, or topic, with a card view that turns a collection into a visual reference board.

Full-text search

With Meilisearch, search runs across titles, tags, and the extracted text of archived pages, with operators for date, tag, URL, and negation.

Browser and mobile capture

Official Chrome and Firefox extensions plus iOS and Android apps save the page in front of you straight into the right collection.

Wayback Machine push

Optionally send each saved URL to the Internet Archive for a second snapshot held by an independent party, useful when provenance is questioned.

Shared collections with roles

Share a collection with named people and grant create, update, or delete rights each, with read implied for anyone added.

Optional AI tagging

Auto-tag saved links through an OpenAI-compatible, Anthropic, or local Ollama backend, or leave it off and tag by hand.

Imports from anywhere

Bring in libraries from Pocket, Raindrop, browser bookmark exports, and other tools through the standard Netscape HTML format.

WHY MANAGED

Why teams pick managed Linkwarden

Mozilla shut down Pocket in 2025: the service stopped on 8 July and all user data was queued for permanent deletion on 12 November. Omnivore closed the year before, and Diigo quietly stopped working. Teams who lost a library twice want the next one on software they own.

Owning the software is the easy part. Running it well is the work that "just install it" leaves out: patching the app and its database, renewing certificates, watching for outages at 2am, verifying that the backup you have never restored actually restores, and keeping the page-capture worker alive. That last item is where self-hosted Linkwarden most often comes undone.

The archiving worker drives a headless Chromium through Playwright, and it is memory-hungry. Reports on the project tracker show that a container limited under about 600 MB breaks the workers outright, and a 2 GB box saturates the moment you import a backlog. A stock small server looks fine until your first Pocket import lands thousands of URLs in the queue at once, and then captures silently stop generating. We provision at least 4 GB, tune the batch count to the memory available, push preserved files to object storage so the disk does not fill, and restart the worker on a schedule to absorb the slow leak seen in some releases.

USE CASES

Three teams who run Linkwarden on DANIAN

These are representative team types we set up most often. Each starts with the same flat €9 plan.

10-PERSON INVESTIGATIVE NEWSROOM

Preserving sources before they are quietly edited

Eight reporters and two editors moved off Pocket and ad-hoc bookmarks. Each story gets a shared collection where reporters hold create and update rights and editors hold delete. The Wayback Machine push is on, so every source carries a second timestamp. Sign-on runs through their Google Workspace.

UNIVERSITY RESEARCH LAB

Citation integrity for a multi-year project

A lab of seventeen replaced the shared doc of links that nobody kept current. Sub-collections map to papers and chapters. AI tagging runs against an on-prem Ollama model, so URLs and page text never leave the network. The instance sits in the region their grant terms call for, behind Keycloak sign-on.

6-PERSON PRODUCT AGENCY

A swipe file that stays usable

A small agency dropped a per-seat bookmarking subscription and a Notion database nobody updated. Collections hold competitor sites, hero sections, and pricing pages, each preserved as a screenshot the whole team can browse. AI auto-tagging files saves on the way in. The browser extension and iOS share sheet feed it.

COMPARISON

Four ways to run Linkwarden

Linkwarden runs four ways. A proprietary tool bills per seat. A VPS or a home server means you run the archiving worker yourself. We run it for €9 a month, flat, with unlimited users on one instance. Here is the honest math at three team sizes.

DANIAN Managed Linkwarden€9€9€9None

Raindrop is the cheapest option for one person who only wants cloud bookmarks. Past a few users, or the moment you need your own archives, your own region, and sign-on for the whole team, the flat €9 line is the one that wins. The VPS and home-server paths only get cheaper than us if you value your own time at zero.a

BY INDUSTRY

Linkwarden for specific industries

A link-archiving tool earns its place wherever a citation has to outlive the page it points at. These five fields put that demand on Linkwarden in different ways, and each one shapes how we configure the instance.

Newsrooms work to the SPJ Code of Ethics duty to verify before publishing, and increasingly to Digital Services Act transparency expectations around retaining evidence of online content. Linkwarden lets a reporter preserve a now-deleted post as a screenshot, PDF, and HTML copy at the moment they read it. For this work we keep the Wayback Machine push on by default and serve preserved pages from an isolated hostname, so an archived page cannot reach the editorial app. Backups of preserved evidence run daily and are retained for at least a year. The motivation is stark: research on legal and scholarly citations found that more than 70% of cited URLs no longer reached the original material, and newsroom links rot on the same curve.
Funders such as NIH, ERC, and UKRI require a data management plan that addresses long-term reference integrity, and library practice leans on ALA and OCLC web-archiving guidance. Linkwarden archives a cited webpage at citation time, so a thesis or paper points at a stable preserved copy rather than a link that may be dead by examination. For research teams we point AI tagging at a local Ollama model so nothing leaves the network, host in the region the grant requires, and front sign-on with Authentik or Keycloak against the institutional identity provider. One study of a single university's shared data measured URL loss averaging 5.9% over time, against just 1.7% for DOIs, which is the decay an in-house archive is built to stop.
Litigation teams work against Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Rule 34 on producing electronic information and Federal Rules of Evidence 901 and 902 on authenticating electronic records, where the chain of custody for web evidence is increasingly contested. Linkwarden captures a screenshot, PDF, and HTML copy at save time, with an optional Wayback Machine push for independent corroboration. For legal work we store preserved archives on write-once object storage, restrict delete rights to partners per matter, and keep an access log. Reference rot in elite legal scholarship has been measured at roughly 70%, the same problem that prompted dedicated legal-citation archives, and the reason firms want preservation in their own hands.
Competitive intelligence work follows the SCIP code of ethics, and analysts at public companies operate under Regulation FD and internal policies that demand a clear provenance for any cited public source. Analysts batch-save fifty to a hundred pages a week, so for this work we raise the archiving batch count and provision the memory to match, and point RSS subscriptions at competitor blogs and press feeds so new posts auto-save into a collection. A preserved snapshot then timestamps a competitor claim on the date your analysis says it existed. AI auto-tagging through an OpenAI-compatible endpoint sorts the weekly intake so analysts spend their time reading rather than filing.
Digital preservation practice is shaped by the ISO 28500 WARC standard, IIPC guidelines, and the NDSA Levels of Digital Preservation. Linkwarden does not emit a true WARC file, but it produces four preservation renditions per link, which sits comfortably with the multiple-copy philosophy of web archiving. For archival work we replicate preserved files across object storage, hold at least three backup copies with one off-site, and can toggle the Wayback Machine push globally for double archival, aligning with NDSA Level 3. Subject librarians curate public collections around a topic and point researchers at the preserved snapshots, so a reading list does not decay into a wall of dead links within a few years.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything teams ask before signing up — answered straight, without sales speak.

Three groups: technical setup, migration, and how DANIAN works as a service.

01

Technical and configuration

By default Linkwarden captures four artifacts per URL: a screenshot, a full PDF, a single-file HTML copy via the monolith engine, and an extracted reader view. It can also push the URL to the Wayback Machine.
The archiving worker drives a headless Chromium through Playwright, which is the heavy part. Reports on the project tracker show containers limited under about 600 MB break the workers, and a 2 GB box saturates on bulk imports. We provision at least 4 GB, tune the batch size to the memory available, and restart the worker on a schedule to absorb the slow leak seen in some releases.
Only if you choose one. AI tagging is optional and supports OpenAI-compatible, Azure OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, OpenRouter, and Perplexity backends. For a private deployment we point it at your local Ollama model, so a small model handles tagging and no link or page text leaves your instance. You can also leave it off entirely and tag by hand.
Linkwarden ships with NextAuth and supports more than forty providers, including Authentik, Keycloak, Authelia, Google, GitHub, GitLab, Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, and generic OIDC. Self-hosted instances have no enterprise gate on sign-on. We wire up your provider, set the callback URL correctly, and confirm a test login before you invite the rest of the team.
We use the User Content Domain feature added in v2.14.0. Preserved HTML is served from a separate public hostname through short-lived signed links, so an untrusted archived page cannot read cookies or the session on your main Linkwarden origin. This isolation is on by default for every instance we run, not an option you have to remember to enable.
Yes to both. Official Chrome and Firefox extensions save the current tab into a chosen collection. Official iOS and Android apps launched in December 2025 and work against any self-hosted instance once you point them at your server URL. There is also an iOS share-sheet shortcut, and browser bookmark sync through Floccus if you prefer that route.
That is the point of the preserved copies. Because Linkwarden stores a screenshot, a PDF, and a single-file HTML capture at save time, the saved page stays readable even after the original is edited, paywalled, or deleted. With the Wayback Machine push enabled you also get a second snapshot held by an independent archive, which matters when provenance is questioned.

02

Migration and onboarding

We can activate your app on your own custom domain/subdomain. Examples: mydomain.com, anyword.mydomain.com.
Or, on our randomized free subdomain. Example: 963.apps.danian.cloud
If you wish to use a custom domain/subdomain, select that option when ordering your app (or notify us later). We will send you the required DNS records and if needed, our tech team will modify them for you.
21 datacenter locations across six continents. You choose the region at provisioning. Application data sits in the region you choose; pick whichever is closest to your users or matches your data-residency preference.
Yes. Request a region migration from the dashboard and we run the move in the background. The system emails you when the migration completes; total transfer time depends on data volume but typical instances finish in a few hours. There is no extra charge for a region change.
Yes. Full data export is available at any time, in a portable format you can bring to any infrastructure.
Yes, since Linkwarden v2.11. Pocket gave users a CSV and an HTML export before it shut down. Linkwarden imports the Netscape bookmark HTML directly, and a community tool converts the Pocket CSV into that format. Large exports can exceed the default upload size, so we raise the file buffer limit before a big import and run it without choking the archiving queue.
Yes. Linkwarden imports the Netscape bookmark HTML that Raindrop, browser exporters, and most bookmarking tools produce, plus its own JSON backup format.
A collection can be shared with named members, each granted create, update, or delete rights, with read implied for anyone added. Sub-collections inherit member permissions. A collection can also be made public at a stable URL. We set up your collection structure and roles during onboarding so the team starts with the right access rather than fixing it later.

03

Billing, support, and platform

€9 covers everything we do for that app: hardware in the region you choose, daily off-site backups with one-click restore, automatic security patches and version upgrades, 24/7 monitoring, SSL and firewall, and engineering support on Email/LiveChat. There are no setup fees or hidden line items. For more info see our Pricing page.
If you decide to continue, we charge €9/app/month from day 8. If you don't, the trial ends and you can export your data. No card is required for the trial, and we never auto-charge you without explicit consent.
No. The €9/month is flat regardless of how many users log into your app. Add 5 users or 50; the price doesn't change.
24/7 Live chat and email support, both staffed by engineers who run the systems. We handle DNS configuration, SMTP setup, app integrations, performance tuning, troubleshooting, and migration help. Response time is typically under an hour. There is no tier system — every customer gets the same support.
Yes. Cancel from the dashboard. We don't charge a cancellation fee, we don't lock data, and we will export your data to you on request before deletion. data to you on request before deletion.
Every customer instance is backed up daily to a separate region from the primary. We test restores. You can request a restore at any backup point within the retention window — usually 7 days for daily backups.
Your application data sits in the region you choose at provisioning — 21 datacenter locations across six continents. Account-level data (billing, account email, support ticket history) is processed centrally. Application data region is picked by you, per app.
99.9% uptime SLA on every app, every tenant. Service credits are documented at danian.co/service-level-agreement. The status page is located at status.danian.co.
When your tenant approaches the resource ceiling — the base tier holds 1 vCPU/RAM, 30 GB storage — we notify you. Resource upgrades happen with your explicit consent; we will not upgrade your tenant or charge you without it.
We wait. We don't suspend the app or delete your data on the first failed charge. We email you, you fix the card on file, and we continue.
Invoices can be downloaded from the billing dashboard in PDF the day each charge succeeds. EU VAT is added where applicable and the VAT-reverse-charge regime applies for VAT-registered businesses with a valid number.
