There are a ton of selfhosted bookmark syncing and managing solutions.
In addition to https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted#bookmarks-and-link-sharing I found these:
- Betula - https://sr.ht/~bouncepaw/betula/
- Linkwallet - https://github.com/tardisx/linkwallet
- Nextcloud Bookmarks - https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/bookmarks (Only makes sense when you’ve already set up Nextcloud)
- Postmarks - https://github.com/ckolderup/postmarks
- xBrowserSync - https://www.xbrowsersync.org/
I’m sure there are a ton more out there.
Basically all I want is to sync and somewhat categorize/tag bookmarks across my devices. Website archival, sharing and multi-user support is optional.
Going by GitHub stars I guess using Floccus with LinkWarden or Karakeep is the way to go?
Linkwarden looks slick and has some cool features, but was really more than I needed (and used more resources than I wanted my bookmark solution to).
I landed on Linkding, which is not as fancy as some other options but does everything I need it to.
I’ve been using Zotero as my bookmark solution and it’s been amazing. I have not setup sync across different devices (or figured out how that would work), but being able to snapshot and page in time and have it forever has been a life saver.
Been using linkwarden with floccus. LW has an android app now too. I haven’t really tried anything else and floccus could use some improvements but seems to work for me.

I’ve been using LinkWarden for a long time now. I also use Readeck for ‘read it later’ kind of data but it could be used to bookmark. I use Karakeep for archiving. I have not tried Betula, Linkwallet, Nextcloud Bookmarks, Postmarks, or xBrowserSync.
The winner by far is Gnu Emacs
Think of the children. Use vim.
What have you got against terminal95 and pine?
edDamn it
Mozilla browser sync
Self-hostable if you want
https://mozilla-services.github.io/syncstorage-rs/
This still relies on Mozilla’s login servers, so not fully selfhosted unfortunately.
It seems like you can selfhost the whole FxA stack in theory, but I haven’t found much documentation for it.
Yeah, “make a 100% selfhost mozilla sync” is about number 12 on my long list of cool tech projects I swear I am going to get to.
EDIT: But seriously in terms of low effort and high security (due to E2E and relatively high number of eyes on Mozilla sources) it hits the sweet spot for me. Even though yes Mozilla and its advertisers know when and from what IP addresses I login to Mozilla services.
I personally like Karakeep with Floccus a lot
Slightly different function, but I use KaraKeep for managing bookmarks and I never use bookmarks in my actual browser.
I never felt the need. What does such a solution actually do?
For me, the idea is tonsync bookmarks between devices.
Right into the browsers? Into all browsers on all devices?
