About these scores

OSS scale score is an unbounded metric that log-compresses and weights Stars, Watchers, Forks, and Contributors. Discovery score is the current OSS scale score minus the score at discovery. Update pace is commits in the last 30 days, growth momentum is the OSS scale score difference within the recent observation window, and OSS health is a 0–100 rating based on available recency, Community Health, and release data.

Overview

linkding is a lightweight self-hosted bookmark manager centered on tags, with Markdown notes, read-later, sharing, metadata fetching, local/Internet Archive snapshots, browser extensions, OIDC, and a REST API. The latest release checked is v1.47.0.

Features and best fit

Based on official documentation; not hands-on tested · Content checked:

Organize links quickly with tags, notes, and read-later

The workflow centers on tags rather than deep folders and adds Markdown notes, read-later, and bulk editing.

Capture bookmarks through extensions, PWA, SSO, and REST APIs

Firefox/Chrome extensions, bookmarklet, PWA, REST API, OIDC, and auth-proxy support extend capture and access workflows.

For individuals or small teams that want simple bookmark ownership

It fits users who value fast self-hosted capture/search/share over a large knowledge-management suite.

Be careful with archive fetching and back up persistent data

Metadata/archive features contact bookmarked URLs, so internal/authenticated links deserve deliberate handling. Back up the database and any archived page storage. linkding is MIT.

Supplemental curator note

linkding favors fast bookmark capture and organization over a large feature surface. Metadata/archive fetching contacts bookmarked URLs, so private or authenticated internal links deserve care.
