What it is

LinkAce is a self-hosted web application for saving, organizing and sharing web links. Users can apply tags, create custom lists, then search, filter and sort links by properties such as URL and creation date. LinkAce regularly checks saved sites and can notify users when a site is unavailable or has moved. When a link is saved, it also asks the Internet Archive Wayback Machine to archive the site. A browser bookmarklet opens a form to capture the website being viewed. The application supports multiple users and single sign-on through OAuth or OIDC, alongside a REST API and Zapier integration. Guest access can expose links, tags and lists that are not marked private, according to each item’s visibility. Deployment options include Docker, Kubernetes Helm, cloud deployment and manual PHP setup; supported databases include SQLite, MySQL/MariaDB and PostgreSQL. The self-hosted version is free and open source. Managed hosting is €4.00 per month, paid annually, with unlimited links, lists, tags and users under a fair-use traffic policy.
