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?
🗂 Added support for Sub-Collections
Our most requested feature, you can now create sub-collections to better organize your links! You can create sub-collections by dragging and dropping collections on top of each other or by clicking the “Create Sub-Collection” button in the collection menu.
Note: This feature has just been released, expect some minor bugs. We’re still working on improving it.
✅ Bulk Actions
Make bulk changes to your links with ease. You can now delete, move, or tag multiple links at once. To use this feature, simply click the pencil icon right beside the sort button and select the links you want to modify.
📲 Installable Progressive Web App (PWA)
Step up to a smoother, app-like interface with Linkwarden now as an installable PWA for mobile and desktop devices. You can install the PWA by following the instructions in the Docs.
🍏 iOS Shortcut
You can now easily save links to Linkwarden right from the share sheet on iOS. Just tap the share button, select “Save to Linkwarden”, and you’re done! You can get the shortcut by following the instructions in the Docs.
🔑 API Keys
Unlock new integration possibilities by creating a new API key in the settings, facilitating automated workflows and enhanced efficiency.
🔗 Customizable Link Actions
You can now choose what happens when you click a link. Choose to open the original link, the preserved PDF, the preserved screenshot, or the preserved readable format.
🚫 Duplicate Link Prevention
Prevent adding the same links. This feature can be enabled in the settings.
📌 Pin links as a member
You can now pin links to your dashboard even if you’re a member of a team and you don’t own the collection.
🛠️ Refactored importing functionality
We’ve refactored the importing functionality to make it more reliable and efficient. It now also supports sub-collections!

Been using the self-hosted version for a few months(?) and like it.
My biggest concern when committing to something like this is data portability.
I do appreciate that it saves copies of PDF and PNG files in structured folders on my NAS, but I wish the file names matched what they have captured rather than 1.pdf, 2.pdf, etc.
It would instantly make Linkwarden 100% more useful to me.
This is really really important!
Are the folders named to websites? Or maybe there associations are recorded in a way that you could script batch rename? Not a great solution but possible maybe.
Nope, everything is 1, 2, 3, etc. There’s no hint of what they contain.
If filenames took a simple version of the “name” set for each link, it would work be perfect.
Obviously, it could be even more useful to someone using tags if that were included in the filename, too. But just knowing what the PDF has in it would make the files useful outside linkwarden (i.e. in a document manager or system search).
That seems like a bizarrely intentional obtuse choice
This makes me think of how Anytype stores files, it’s impossible to get your files from Anytype without exporting them through a tool in the software. If you delete Anytype, you have to reinstall it to get your files back the way you made them.
Hey there! Love what you’re doing with this project - it’s super cool! I did want to ask a question though as I raised a GitHub issue a while back but received no response - is there any chance that the ability to automatically import .HTML bookmark backup files might be added in the future?
My use case is that every night I have my Chrome bookmarks automatically exported to a folder on my NAS - and currently I use ArchiveBox to read that file and archive any newly added sites. While this works, ArchiveBox has at times been rather finicky for me at least over the years, and so I’d love a little cleaner and more functional alternative. I’m not sure if others would find value in this being an option, but just a thought!
I would find this interesting and useful as well, especially as one of the things holding me back from ditching chrome all together is all my bookmarks.
Would love to somehow import them all into linkwarden to have a centralized bookmark location.
Fwiw, you can do a manual HTML import at present…the thing I’m most curious about is the automated re-import as manually uploading every day or few days isn’t high on my list of desires hahaha :)
I look forward to using LinkWarden eventually! My current bookmark setup involves both LinkDing and WallaBag which is a little quirky. Hopefully soon Wallabag exports could be imported and I’d be good to migrate.
This looks amazing! Any chance in the future itll be possible to also preserve videos? Maybe if i download a webpage and provide the mp4 myself? So i could save a YouTube link and then upload the mp4 of the video i saved using yt-dlp
TIL such a thing existed and NGL this looks really really cool.
Really cool. Anyone know if screenshot + pdf is as good as what raindrop does to archive saved sites? Is it possible to use archive.org or something similar in place or in addition to the builtin archiving?
Is it possible to use archive.org or something similar in place or in addition to the builtin archiving?
That’s actually one of the features, you can enable it from the settings to send the link to archive.org for a snapshot.
I was very interested in this. Installed it, and set it up to use my preferred auth server (also selfhosted). It worked just great!
But! Then I wanted to install the add-on in my firefox browser. And it doesn’t work when using only and oauth server :(
Will probably not use this much without the extension
