Today, we’re excited to announce the release of Linkwarden 2.13! 🥳 This update brings significant improvements and new features to enhance your experience.
For those who are new to Linkwarden, it’s basically a tool to collect, read, annotate, and fully preserve webpages, articles, and documents, all in one place. It’s great for bookmarking stuff to read later, and you can also share your resources, create public collections, and collaborate with your team. Linkwarden is available as a Cloud subscription or you can self-host it on your own server.
This release brings a range of updates to make your bookmarking and archiving experience even smoother. Let’s take a look:
What’s new:
🏷️ New Tag Management Page
We added a dedicated page where you can view, sort, add, bulk merge, and bulk delete you Tags, all in one place.
⚙️ Compact Sidebar
You can now shrink the sidebar for a more compact and minimal look.
🐞 Bug fixes and Optimizations
This release comes with many bug fixes, security fixes, and optimizations that’s recommended for all users.
✅ And more…
There are also a bunch of smaller improvements and fixes in this release to keep everything running smoothly.

If I log into a paywalled site, can i read paywalled things later?
Yes. It archives a copy of the page locally that you have access to forever.
That’s cool. Instapaper can’t do that. Thx.
Is it possible to transfer those files to kobo reader (convert to epub).
Not that I know of. I still use wallabag just for my “read it later on kobo” button.
Yes, but you’ll need to either upload the webpage using SingleFile or use our official Browser Extension.
I’ve been looking for a way to self host a bookmark manager so I can sync bookmarks (favorites / links) across all devices. Sounds like Linkwarden might be overkill for me, but can it do that if I’m ok with overkill?
You can disable preservation and sync Linkwarden with your browser bookmarks using Floccus and it can serve you as a regular bookmark manager.
Can anyone help explain the use case for this? Why would someone want/need a dedicated app for bookmarks vs just using the built in browser bookmarking?
I’ve always used Firefox but have never thought to myself that I needed bookmarks in a different app entirely. What am I missing?
It’s a replacement for Read It Later/Pocket/Instapaper.
Saves websites offline, with full copies/reading view/pdf.
That tool also saves a copy of the website. But I also do not use the browser bookmarks and a tool, that only syncs bookmarks. And that is the reason: syncing, so I have all the bookmarks on all devices.
I didn’t either, but I started using floccus and syncing my bookmarks across my 2 computers and phone. In a pinch it works great for those obscure websites I don’t frequently visit.
I can see from the screenshot they still haven’t fixed the title text being cut off in each bookmark.
Hey there! The screenshot was cropped, not sure which part you’re talking about
Each bookmark card does not make enough room for the title of each bookmark, so they’re cut off with an ellipses at the end. The readability while looking over your bookmarks is pretty bad as a result. Like after a certain point that’s unavoidable, but it doesn’t help that the spacing and margins in each card are excessive.
KaraKeep uses a similar card layout and handles it much better as a counter example.
Oh, you can adjust the view to your preference.
