Hello everyone,

Before we talk about today’s announcement, let's take a moment to appreciate what this community has built together. What started as a project to preserve webpages and articles has quietly grown into Linkwarden, a tool used by researchers, journalists, and knowledge collectors all over the world.

As we’ve grown, the Linkwarden community has helped us reach:

  • 16,000+ GitHub stars
  • 11M+ Docker downloads
  • Thousands of self-hosted instances running in different companies, universities, agencies, and homelabs
  • A thriving ecosystem of contributors, donors, and Cloud subscribers keeping the project sustainable

None of this would've happened without you. Thank you! 🚀

Today, we’re excited to launch something you’ve been asking for since the very beginning: the official Linkwarden mobile app, now available on iOS and Android.

Different screens (iPad, Pixel, and iPhone)

Here are the highlights so far:

  • 🧩 Create, organize, and browse your links: A native, mobile-first experience with collections, tags, and powerful search.

  • 📤 Save links directly from the share sheet: Send interesting articles from the browser or any other app straight into Linkwarden, no copy-paste required.

  • 📚 Cached data for offline reading: Catch up on long reads, articles, or saved blog posts when you’re away from Wi-Fi.

  • ☁️ Works with Linkwarden Cloud and self-hosted: Use the same app whether you’re on Linkwarden Cloud or your own self-hosted instance, just point it at your server and sign in.

  • 📱 Built for different screen sizes: Supports iOS / iPadOS, and Android (phones and tablets).

  • 🔜 And more coming soon: This first release is just the foundation, expect many improvements and new features soon.

Get the app

To use the app you’ll first need a Linkwarden account (version v2.13+ recommended).

You can choose between:

  • Linkwarden Cloud – instant setup, and your subscription directly supports ongoing development.
  • Self-hosted Linkwarden – free, but you’ll need to deploy and maintain a Linkwarden instance on a server.

After creating an account, download the app from your preferred store:
