# Linkwarden

**A self-hosted link archive that actually preserves content — full-page snapshots, full-text search, and team sharing that survives link rot.**

## What it is

Linkwarden is a self-hosted bookmark manager that takes archival seriously: every saved link gets a screenshot, PDF render, and HTML snapshot stored alongside it. When a page disappears or changes, your archived version remains intact. It features full-text search across all saved content, browser extensions, iOS and Android apps, local AI-assisted tagging, and Wayback Machine integration for backup redundancy.

Beyond personal use, Linkwarden supports multi-user team setups with permission controls, making it viable as a shared knowledge archive for research teams or organizations that need to retain access to ephemeral web content. The AGPL license means self-hosted deployments are free; a hosted cloud option is available for those who don't want to manage infrastructure.

<Tip>
  **Use this when** you're building a research archive or team knowledge base and need links that actually survive — not just bookmarks, but preserved copies of the content itself.
