About Linkstow

Linkstow is an open-source mobile client for Karakeep, the self-hostable "bookmark everything" app. Sign in to your own server — or Karakeep Cloud — and read, sort and clean up your bookmarks from your phone.

Connect

Any Karakeep server: self-hosted (LAN http://, private CAs) or Karakeep Cloud

Email and password, or an API key for servers that use single sign-on

Custom request headers for servers behind Cloudflare Access, Authelia or another auth proxy

Your password is never stored: it is exchanged for an API key kept in secure storage

Browse

Link-preview cards with image, title, description, site and every tag

All bookmarks, Favorites, Archived, your lists (nested and smart lists) and tags

An "unarchived / total" count on every list — archived means read in Karakeep

Search with Karakeep's query language, inside the open list or tag

Sort by date added, title or website, in either order

Create lists and tags

Add

Save links, notes and pictures from your gallery with the + button, straight into the open list, tag or Favorites

Read and act

In-app viewer with the live page or Karakeep's saved reader view

Swipe between bookmarks; favorite, archive, share, tag, add to lists or delete

Configurable swipe actions on cards, with Undo for everything

Linkstow needs a Karakeep server (0.33 or newer). It collects no data and contains no trackers. Your login, API key and custom headers are only ever sent to the server you sign in to.

To draw the bookmark cards, Linkstow loads each site's icon straight from the bookmarked website, and its preview image too when Karakeep has not stored one. Scrolling the list therefore makes requests to those websites, which can see your IP address. No headers or credentials are sent with them. The live-page viewer also opens the bookmarked page itself.

Linkstow is an independent community project, not affiliated with or endorsed by Karakeep or Localhost Labs Ltd.
