Hello everybody, Daniel here!
I’m back with some huge updates for Linkwarden.
Before we start, we’d like to express our sincere thanks to all of our Cloud subscription users. Your support is crucial to our growth and allows us to continue improving. Thank you for being such an important part of our journey. 🚀
What’s New?
📄 Full Page Copy
This new feature allows users to save a complete copy of a webpage in a HTML format. It’s perfect for archiving pages in their entirety, capturing all content as it appears at a specific point in time.
👥 User Administration
Server administrators can now manage user addition and deletion with greater ease. This feature is especially useful for organizations that need to manage multiple users.
🧱 New Masonry View
View your bookmarks in a visually appealing masonry layout, where content is arranged in an optimal position based on available vertical space. This feature is perfect for users who prefer a more visual approach to browsing their bookmarks.
🍏 iOS and MacOS Apps (Maintained by JGeek00)
We’re excited to announce the release of the new iOS and MacOS apps, developed and maintained by JGeek00. These apps provide a seamless experience for users who prefer to access Linkwarden on their Apple devices. You can download the apps directly from the App Store.
📥 Import from Wallabag
There was a high demand for this feature, and we’re excited to announce that you can now import your bookmarks from Wallabag. This feature simplifies the transition process, allowing users to maintain their bookmarks without hassle.
🌐 Support for Other Languages (i18n)
Linkwarden has recently expanded to support Italian in addition to English. As this feature is quite new, there might be some bugs, and we’re actively working to refine it. We’re also looking for community help with translations to make Linkwarden accessible in more languages soon!
📁 Image and PDF Uploads
Users can now upload images and PDF files directly to Linkwarden. This feature is perfect for users who want to store paywalled or password-protected content.
🔒 Enhanced Security
This update includes several security enhancements to protect your data and ensure a secure browsing experience. We’ve also fixed several bugs and improved overall performance.
🔑 Support for Google OAuth
You can now use Google OAuth to sign in to Linkwarden. This feature simplifies the login process and provides a secure authentication method. Just note that we’re still pending Google’s approval for the OAuth consent screen and it will be available soon.

Yo, they added full page copies now? Gotta give it a spin again
And there are tons of upcoming features along the way :)
Just out of curiosity, what kind of content do you come by that you’d like to save a full page copy of?
Blah Blah
Login pages ;D
this could be interesting if “collaborative” meant that different instances could federate
I really want to like one of these. I’ve tried it before but can anyone using this or similar tell me how it differs and improves upon just using Firefox sync?
In simple terms, link rot is when the contents of a link you saved from the past is longer available.
Firefox sync does save the link url itself, but the actual content is susceptible to being taken down for any reason.
A tool like Linkwarden both saves the link url as well as the content itself, so you’ll have a copy even if the original content is lost. All while taking collaboration into account.
This is a great point. Thanks for taking the time and great app.
I tried Linkwarden about a year ago and really liked it, but I chose Linkding instead because I couldn’t find a way to add bookmarks on Android via ‘share’. For Linkding, I used the ‘HTTP Shortcut’ app to achieve this.
I will check out the update
Last in checked, there is an open PR for the PWA Android app the expose the share function. That will allow this to work however you will have to install the PWA via chrome since the share feature for PWA is proprietary. Sucks because I use Firefox with a bunch of privacy features .
The app doesnt seem to let me make an account? Ive never used linkwarden and im presented with these two options and to login.
Is account creation coming in the future to the app?
Dude, its a selfhosting app. You arent literally download an App from a store and use it. You use it as an docker container on your own server and run it. (Which is nowadays as easy as downloading an app.)
I’ve been thinking of using Linkwarden for a while now. As my computer usage spreads across more and more devices, having a single place to go for all my bookmarks would be fantastic.
Since I dropped my Mozilla account years ago, bookmarking over devices is a pain. Linkwarden is the first tool which sorts my chaos. The tagging feature, a PWA and the browser add-on are my reasons for using linkwarden.
If you just want to sync your bookmarks this may be overkill.
Check out floccus.
Just seing this for the first time. It looks great!
I have a question: is there a recommended way to integrate a Linkwarden Docker image into an existing docker compose? I already have multiple services running in a docker compose, where I ideally want to integrate Linkwarden into.
As far as I can see, the installation method described in the docs involves cloning the repo and running a custom docker compose.
Looks like there’s a docker-compose.yml file in their Github repo.
You’d just copy the services (the postgres and linkwarden bits) to your compose file, and then restart it.
I did exactly that. Thanks! Amazing how simple it is to get this running.
