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.
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:
How you can support Linkwarden
Linkwarden exists because of people like you. Other than using our official Cloud offering and dontations, here are the other ways to help us grow and stay sustainable:
- Leaving a review on App Store or Google Play
- Starring our repository on GitHub
- Joining us and sharing your setup on Reddit
- Joining us on Discord
- Telling a friend or colleague about Linkwarden
Thank you for being part of this community. 💫
#selfhosted
threaded - newest
Just deployed it. So nice, much better than what I was using. Thank you so very much.
No problem!
Any plans for an FDroid/GitHub release?
We’re working on it :)
Edit: Will post the link to the APK on Mastodon/Bluesky/Twitter as soon as it’s is ready.
excited for Fdroid! currently can’t run this without google play, even fetching the app via Aurora
fairly common experience and not necessarily y’alls fault, thanks for the hard work and updating us
LinkDroid and LinkGuardian are android apps for LinkWarden available on F-Droid, FYI.

Well hello there.
Will the Android app be released outside of Google Play?
Will post the link to the APK on Mastodon/Bluesky/Twitter as soon as it’s is ready.
Thanks.
No US corporate crap on my devices, so please make sure it works without play services :)
Great work, amazing application 😊
Thank you! :)
Great work! 👍🏻
Thanks!
Can you link the mobile app github repo(s)? Are they the community projects linked in the readme or are they somewhere else?
Here it is: github.com/linkwarden/linkwarden/tree/…/mobile
We’re fully open-source :)
Badass! iOS app looks and works great!
Haha, thanks!
