Hello everybody, Daniel here!

We’re excited to be back with some new updates that we believe the community will love!

As always before we start, we’d like to express our sincere thanks to all of our Cloud subscription users. Your support is crucial to our growth and allows us to continue improving. Thank you for being such an important part of our journey. 🚀

What’s New?


🛠️ Code Refactoring and Optimization

The first thing you’ll notice here is that Linkwarden is now faster and more efficient.[1] And also the data now loads a skeleton placeholder while fetching the data instead of saying “you have no links”, making the app feel more responsive.

🌐 Added More Translations

Thanks to the collaborators, we’ve added Chinese and French translations to Linkwarden. If you’d like to help us translate Linkwarden into your language, check out #216.

✅ And more…

Check out the full changelog below.

  1. This took a lot more work than it should have since we had to refactor the whole server-side state management to use react-query instead of Zustand. ↩︎

    Just wanted to say thanks for some awesome software! I want to say I use it for centralizing my bookmarks across devices, but if I’m being honest it’s main use has been bookmarking Microsoft Learn articles. It’s insanely useful being able to save an article, add tags, then when MS changes their docs, I can prove to myself that it really was different last week.

      I hate that your example is the reason I’m standing link warden up. Sometimes ms leaves me thinking I’ve gone mad

    How have I never heard of this before!? I’ve been looking for exactly this for ages now.

    Already spinning up a docker container!

    Question I’ve been meaning to ask: if I start with cloud can I move to self-hosted later? I’ve seen this before and it feels like a product I could make good use of, especially for getting tabs closed.

    Is there any plans on native mobile app? I am allergic to PWAs. Overall, good job!

    I set up LinkWarden about a month ago for the first time and have been enjoying it. Thank you!

    I do have some feature requests – is GitHub the best place to submit those?

    Looking forward to this new build. Since the last update, none of my links generate Preserved Formats, which makes the service useless. Hopefully, this is fixed.

        I will try, but on a whim I just created a new user in linkwarden and that seems to be generating my selected profiles. I’ll wait until I can try 2.7.x before I gather data for a report.

      It depends on what you mean by seamlessly. I have the Safari bookmarklet menu thingy on iOS and it works great.

    All self-hostable software should do single sign-on the way Linkwarden does.

    If you are wondering whether or how to support OIDC or SAML or other SSO, look no further for inspiration.

        It’s really well documented and easy to config. You just open the page for your IDP, follow the instructions, set a few config setting and you’re off.

        The user interface is also really good at this. Often custom identity providers feel hacked on, here it’s integrated really well.

        I believe the implementation is based on nextauth.js
