In terms of functionality, Linkwarden overlaps with previously introduced tools like ArchiveBox and Readeck, but Linkwarden focuses on bookmark management,
and offers some unique features.
🚀 Quick Start Guide
Install Linkwarden from the LazyCat Store. Upon opening the homepage, you first need to register an account:

After successful login, the homepage looks like this:

You can first go to the top right corner, into Settings, and change the display language.

After saving, the page will automatically refresh and change to Chinese.

Let's return to the homepage and click "Add New Link".

Add a link.

You can now see it on the homepage dashboard. It automatically fetches the content and thumbnail.

The information for the "Collections" on the left can be modified, similar to "folders" in bookmarks.


If you want to import your current bookmarks, you can first export them from Chrome as an HTML file.

Then, from the Linkwarden settings, import the HTML file you just exported.

Wait a moment, then return to the homepage. You'll find they have been imported.

At this point, you can experience the power of its search function - finding things is very fast.

Linkwarden provides an open-source browser extension, allowing you to quickly save web pages without leaving your current page.
