LinkAce
What it is
LinkAce is a self-hosted web application for archiving, organizing, and sharing web links. Users can label links with tags, group them into custom lists, and search, filter, or order results by properties such as URL and creation date. It regularly checks saved links and can notify users if a site becomes unavailable or moves. Saving a link also prompts the Internet Archive Wayback Machine to archive the website. A browser bookmarklet opens a form for capturing the site currently being viewed. LinkAce supports multiple users, OAuth or OIDC single sign-on, a REST API, and a Zapier integration. Guest access can expose links, tags, and lists that are not private, subject to each item's visibility. The maker recommends Docker for self-hosting and also documents Kubernetes Helm, cloud, and manual PHP deployment. Supported databases include SQLite, MySQL/MariaDB, and PostgreSQL. The self-hosted open-source version is free. Managed hosting costs €4.00 per month, paid annually, and includes unlimited links, lists, tags, and users under a fair-use traffic policy.
