# Linkwarden

> Open-source bookmark manager that preserves a copy of each page

Linkwarden is an open-source, collaborative bookmark manager that saves a copy of every bookmarked page as a screenshot, a PDF and a single HTML file, so the content stays readable if the original goes offline. Saved articles open in a reader view with highlighting and annotation, and collections can be shared with other people or with the public. It can be self-hosted for free or used as Linkwarden Cloud, a paid hosted plan priced per user.
