Today, we’re excited to announce the release of Linkwarden 2.12! 🥳 This update brings significant improvements and new features to enhance your experience.

For those who are new to Linkwarden, it’s basically a tool for saving and organizing webpages, articles, and documents all in one place. It’s great for bookmarking stuff to read later, and you can also share your resources, create public collections, and collaborate with your team. Linkwarden is available as a Cloud subscription or you can self-host it on your own server.

This release brings a range of updates to make your bookmarking and archiving experience even smoother. Let’s take a look:

What’s new:

🫧 Drag and Drop Support

One of our most requested features is finally here! You can now drag and drop Links onto Collections and Tags. This makes it much easier to organize your bookmarks and keep everything tidy.

📤 Upload from SingleFile

SingleFile is an awesome browser extension that allows you to save complete webpages as a single HTML file on your device. As of Linkwarden 2.12, you can upload your saved links directly from the SingleFile browser extension into Linkwarden. This allows you to easily save articles which are behind paywalls or require authentication directly from your browser.

To use this feature, simply install the SingleFile extension, and then follow the documentation.

🌐 Progressed Translations

We’ve made significant progress in our translations, with many languages now fully supported. If you’re interested in helping out with translations, check out our Crowdin page.

✅ And more…

There are also a bunch of smaller improvements and fixes in this release to keep everything running smoothly.

Want to skip the technical setup?

If you’d rather skip server setup and maintenance, our Cloud Plan takes care of everything for you. It’s a great way to access all of Linkwarden’s features—plus future updates—without the technical overhead.

We hope you enjoy these new enhancements, and as always, we’d like to express our sincere thanks to all of our supporters and contributors. Your feedback and contributions have been invaluable in shaping Linkwarden into what it is today. 🚀

    This is a fantastic tool, but I’d love to confidently expose the API to the internet for the shortcut. To do that you need read-only and running as a user; I saw that that’s not a thing that works from the issues.

    Any thoughts on getting those security features working? Cause the app itself is so smooth I’d let my parents use it and be confident they wouldn’t need to be herded constantly.

        No what I said isn’t about user registration; it’s about adding these to the docker-compose.yml:

                read_only: true
        user: 6969:6969

        to prevent running as root and making the file system read-only. The API needs to be exposed without a VPN or other proxy login since my parents’ can’t handle that, so if I was able to implement these recommended security steps I’d feel like I could open up the container to the internet at large without too much risk.

        Per this issue https://github.com/linkwarden/linkwarden/issues/799 it seems like there’s a lot of steps to take to get these settings to work.

        It would be also ideal if I didn’t have to give the container (but not a deal-breaker):

                cap_add:
          - CAP_SYS_ADMIN
          - CAP_SYS_CHROOT

        as the issue also states is required for the headless chrome scraper browser.

        I am using it internally now and it’s really good, but to open it up for my parents (which I think they’d dig) I’d definitely want these security settings on without major issues. Linkwarden is an internet-facing application so these recommended security practicies are in its wheel-house, feature-wise, as well.

        Hope that helps clear up my comment!

          Oh I see, thanks for letting me know! Yes that’s actually requested and we’ll be getting to it sometime.

            Great to hear! It’s seriously slick and “just works”. With those security features up you can tout them on the cloud offering too :)

          So I have mine running in a podman quadlet. It runs as root in the container but it is unpriviledged. Mine has NET_ADMIN and SYS_MODULE but I honestly can’t remember why… SYS_ADMIN seems extreme though

            Care to share your quartet? I’m just getting into the quads with trixie out - and I haven’t gotten this working yet…

            The permissions do seem intense; if you’re getting by without maybe those aren’t quite needed!

    Linkwarden user here. Can confirm - it’s a great tool to dump links for later. I’ve setup an iOS shortcut that lets me share links directly to linkwarden. Super handy
