Linkwarden launches official iOS and Android apps for managing bookmarks on the go

Linkwarden has released its official mobile app for both iOS and Android, providing users with a native experience for managing bookmarks on the go. The app allows users to create, organize, and browse saved links with features such as collections, tagging, and a robust search function directly optimized for mobile devices. In addition to basic link management, users benefit from the ability to save links directly using their device’s share option. This enables quick saving from browsers or other applications without the need to copy and paste links manually.

Following these workflow improvements, the app includes offline access capabilities by caching saved data, allowing reading of articles or blog posts without an active internet connection. The mobile app is designed for flexibility, supporting both Linkwarden cloud and self-hosted instances. Users can specify their server of choice and sign in with their credentials. Compatibility spans a broad range of devices, ensuring support for iOS, iPadOS, and Android phones and tablets.

While this initial release establishes the core mobile experience, the development team has indicated plans for further enhancements and expanded features in upcoming updates. The app is now available on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.

I love the concept of Linkwarden, really neat, but am I alone in thinking this would enable me to be a digital hoarder? Curious how one makes peace with tossing tons of content into it as a digital minimalist.

As a chronic digital/tab horder, Linkwarden helps to stop me from keeping 100+ tabs open at once due to fear of "what if i need that in the future?". Using this or a similar service where I can organize links with folders and/or tags is a far better way to keep things neat and tidy, and also inevitably saves system resources. It's particularly useful if you tend to migrate browsers often, use multiple at a time, or just don't want to use your browsers native bookmark feature. To stop myself from saving links and forgetting about them, I usually set my homepage/new tab page to Linkwarden so I see everything I've saved consistently. Honestly, it's a service I could never quite understand being very useful until I gave it a go myself, since then, I've never looked back
