Hello everyone! Daniel here.
Today, Iām excited to announce that Linkwarden is getting one of its largest mobile updates so far, along with a web app thatās much lighter to run.
For those who are new here, Linkwarden is a tool for collecting, organizing, reading, and preserving webpages, articles, and documents in one place. Linkwarden is available as a Cloud offering, or you can self-host it on your own server.
Letās get into it.
Whatās new on mobile:
šļø Highlight and annotate
You can now highlight text in the reader view, pick from four colors, and attach a note to any highlight.
Thereās also a new Notes & Highlights view per article which lets you skim what youāve marked and jump to it in the text.
š„ True offline mode
Previously, the app only saved preserved formats for links you had already opened. Now, you can turn on Save for offline access in the settings, and the app will download every preserved format in the background as you browse.
šŖŖ Link details sheet
Long-press any link to open Link Details, which shows all the information about a link in one sheet, similar to the web app.
š Customizable reader view
Adjust font, text size, line height, and background color as you read.
Whatās new on the web:
š§ Much lower memory usage
Linkwarden 2.15 roughly halves idle memory usage, from around 700 MB down to about 350 MB. We explained this in more detail on our blog.
š³ A much smaller Docker image
The Docker image has also been cut in half, dropping from roughly 3.0 GB to 1.5 GB.
š Generic OIDC provider
Self-hosters can now connect any OpenID Connect identity provider. Check it out in the docs!
š Increased security
A good chunk of this release went into security hardening. We strongly recommend updating to 2.15.
Thereās moreā¦
As always, thereās a long tail of smaller improvements across the web and the mobile app.
Full Changelog: https://github.com/linkwarden/linkwarden/compare/v2.14.1ā¦v2.15.0
Thanks!
Thanks to everyone using Linkwarden, reporting bugs, suggesting improvements, contributing to the project, responsibly disclosing security issues, and supporting its development. Your contributions genuinely shape every release.
If youād like to try Linkwarden without dealing with server setup and maintenance, our Cloud offering is the easiest way to get started.
We hope you enjoy the latest Linkwarden updates!
threaded - newest
Hmmm I seem to be still on v2.14.1 but Iām not getting an alert that it needs an update. Linkwarden is a solid piece of work Daniel. I use it daily. Thank you.
Thanks! The Docker image is still being built: github.com/linkwarden/linkwarden/ā¦/86414833597
Should be ready in less than an hour or so.
Itās ready :)
Fresh out the oven!

Sweet!
Folks whoāve used Linkwarden and archivebox, which do you prefer? Is one a superset of the other?
I wouldnāt consider them directly comparable since they are both trying to achieve different goals.
Linkwarden is a bookmark manager that allows for single html webpage backups.
Archivebox uses WARC - which produces an offline, fully navigable website
AI Project per OP:
@daniel31x13@lemmy.world can you please update the title with the appropriate tag? [CBH] or [AIP]
See rules 7/8 for details, ask if you have any questions
Updated to [AIP], since āAI Assistedā is also part of it.
Appreciated, thanks!
Since it is AI assisted, can you add the disclosure portion (Rule 8)? A reply to the top level distinguished comment works, the disclosure info is here.
I know, a lot of steps involved now, but the community is a pretty wide split on AI use.
The scope is āImplementation,ā āTestingā (to some extent), and āDocumentation.ā
Thanks, just one more bit which would be the level of AI assistance:
Just for each part of it, Iāll update in my comment above
āAssistedā
Thanks!
Np!
Truly disgusted that a post disclosing the project is AI assisted gets this many upvotes. Iām out.
Part of the point of the [AIP] tag is your ability to filter these posts out.
The decision of what you want to do is obviously yours alone, though.
I started using it like 2 weeks ago, loving it so far! Thank you for doing this!
Happy to help!
ZOMG I think I need this!!! I love my bookmarks but have a hell of a time sorting them.
Haha, you should give it a try!
daniel31x13 ā self-host angle here: true offline mode means every userās phone is now pulling down preserved formats in the background. Thatās a bandwidth and compute shift for anyone running this on modest infra. Have you built any admin controls to throttle background sync, or set storage quotas per user? We work with teams deploying similar tools internally, and āeveryoneās phone syncing at onceā has tanked a few deployments. Might be worth documenting in the self-hosting guide. More on this pattern here cxgo.ai/l/0LO4bIA .
How does that compare to wallabag? (Does it?)
Lovely to see that a lot of effort was made to make this much more memory efficient! The main reason I bounced off from this before was itās large footprint on my Unraid server. Will definitely take a 2nd look now!
Awesome!
Has anyone compared with Karakeep? Which do you prefer?
It was close for me but I went with link warden because you can hide link cover images in the main view.
Update looks awesome at a glance, thanks for all your hard work!
Appreciate the support!
