LinkAce is a self-hosted bookmark manager that helps you archive, organize, and share your favorite web links. Whether you’re a researcher saving articles for later, a developer bookmarking tools, or someone who wants to preserve important web content long-term, LinkAce provides a powerful alternative to browser bookmarks.

Why LinkAce?

For Personal Use
Save articles for later reading, bookmark useful tools, and build a searchable personal knowledge base. LinkAce automatically monitors links to alert you when they break or move, and archives web pages via the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine.

For Teams
Share curated link collections with family, coworkers, or community members. Multi-user support lets you control visibility (public, internal, or private) and collaborate on shared lists and tags.

Own Your Data
LinkAce is fully self-hosted. Your bookmarks stay on your server, under your control.

Core Features

  • Organize with lists and tags — Group links by broad categories (lists) or detailed topics (tags)
  • Automated link monitoring — Get notified when links become unavailable or are moved
  • Automatic archiving — Web pages are sent to the Internet Archive for long-term preservation
  • Multi-user support — Invite others and control link visibility (public, internal, private)
  • Advanced search — Filter by tags, lists, date, or status
  • REST API — Access all features programmatically; integrates with Zapier and 2500+ apps
  • Bookmarklet — Save links from any browser with one click
  • Import/export — Bring in bookmarks from other tools, export to HTML
  • Light and dark themes — Automatic or manual theme switching

How It Works

Links — Store any URI: web pages, FTP resources, or custom protocols. LinkAce auto-generates titles and descriptions for web links, monitors uptime, and archives HTTP(S) pages.

Lists and Tags — Use lists for broad categories (“Web Development Tools”) and tags for cross-cutting themes (“programming”, “open-source”). Both are flexible — use them however works for you.

Users and Visibility — The first user becomes an admin and can invite others. Each link, list, or tag can be public (visible to anyone with access, including guests if enabled), internal (logged-in users only), or private (only you).
