Hello everyone! Daniel here, and I’m back with a new Linkwarden release across web and mobile.

For those who are wondering, Linkwarden is an open-source collaborative bookmarking tool that keeps permanent snapshot of the content of the links you save, so you can still access them even if the original content is no longer available. Linkwarden is available as a Cloud offering, or you can get the source code on GitHub and self-host it on your own server with no strings attached. If you find it useful, consider starring the repo so others can discover it too!

So let’s get into it.

What’s new in mobile:

• Support for self-signed certificates and custom request headers: Android now accepts self-signed certificates, and you can add custom request headers to the app’s requests. This makes the app usable with instances behind a reverse proxy or auth layer like Authelia or Cloudflare Access.
• Re-preserve link formats: You can now re-generate a link’s preserved formats (screenshot, PDF, readable view) from the mobile app, useful if the original preservation failed or the page has changed since.
• Change link’s banner: You can now set a custom banner image for a link when editing it.
• Access more account options in Settings: Settings now has a “More Account Settings” option that opens your full account settings inside the app, using your existing session.

(Android is out, iOS is still in review and it should be out later today.)

What’s new in web:

• Refreshed, more modern design: The top navbar is removed and its functionality moved into the sidebar, plus a number of smaller UX fixes. 
• New search modal with recent search history: Press ⌘K (or Ctrl+K) anywhere to open a search modal. It also keeps your recent searches stored locally in the browser. 
• New “System” theme option: The theme can now follow your OS light/dark preference instead of being set manually. 
• PNG support for link banners: Link banners now accept PNG uploads in addition to JPEG.

There’s more…

As always, there’s a long tail of smaller improvements across the web and the mobile app.

Hello everyone!

It’s been about 3 months since the last release, and this one took a bit longer than usual. A lot of work went into polishing and refining both the web and mobile apps to make sure it was worth the wait.

Today, we’re excited to announce Linkwarden 2.14!

For those who are new to Linkwarden, it’s a tool for collecting, organizing, reading, and preserving webpages, articles, and documents in one place. Linkwarden is available as a Cloud offering, or you can self-host it on your own server.

This release focuses on performance, usability, security, and platform upgrades.

What’s new:

🗂️ Improved team collaboration

Collections and subcollections got some important improvements.

Members and their permissions can now be propagated to subcollections, and collection admins can now create subcollections as well.

🏷️ Improved tag browsing with pagination

Tags now support pagination, making large tag lists easier to browse.

This helps keep things faster and more manageable, especially in places like the sidebar and tags page.

⚡ Faster interface with optimistic rendering

We added optimistic rendering to some of the slower parts of the app, especially around links and collections.

That means actions like updating or deleting items can now feel much more immediate, since the UI updates right away instead of waiting for the full request to finish.

🚀 Platform upgrades: Next.js 15 and Expo 54

Linkwarden now runs on newer foundations across both web and mobile:

• Next.js 15 for the web app
• Expo 54 for the mobile app

These upgrades improve compatibility and give us a stronger base for future improvements.

✨ Improved user experience

This release brings a number of user experience improvements across the app, especially around search and settings.

Search is now more helpful and easier to discover, while settings are cleaner and easier to navigate.

🔒 Security improvements for submitted links

We improved how submitted links are validated on the server for safer and more reliable processing. We recommend updating to 2.14 as soon as possible.

✅ And more…

As always, this release also includes smaller fixes, UI cleanups, dependency updates, and under-the-hood improvements across the app.
