I recently switched to using KeePass and Syncthing, and I love them. I was wondering if there’s a bookmark manager where I can keep all my bookmarks on a synced file like KeePass. I’ve tried looking, but I haven’t had any luck. Does anyone know of one?

    I usually just export my bookmarks as a HTML file and use that on desktop. On mobile I just make a ods spreadsheet after copying all of my bookmarks manually (select all, share, copy to clipboard etc…)

    I guess there’s nothing stopping you actually using KeePass for this.

    What is the outcome you’re looking for? Are you trying to avoid an account for privacy reasons? Trying to sync between different browsers? Something else?

    You could take a look at Floccus and see if it might meet your needs, though it’s not exactly what you asked for.

      Yeah I guess I could use KeePass for this, but it seems like it might be tedious.

      My reasons for asking: I don’t want to pay for a service, I don’t want to rely a service that could shutdown (I used to use del.icio.us once upon a time), and I do want something that syncs

      I’m currently using Shaarli on a cheap host, but they’re about to raise their prices drastically. Also, I’m not very tech savvy so I haven’t been able to update is since I started using it, so I kind of don’t want to deal with it anymore away.

      I just checked out Floccus but I’m not sure it’ll work for me because it requires a server or additional service.

    I was looking for a bookmark app that can sync via Syncthing too, but I had no luck finding such an app.

    I think I will end up using markdown editor (notes app), specifically Markor, because it allows appending links to a file (note) through the share menu. It’s using .md files which you can easily sync via Syncthing, and then open the file on desktop with some markdown editor like Joplin.
    On desktop you would have to manually copy and paste the link into the file though.

    It’s probably possible to streamline that process more, but if you don’t save a lot of links it’s ok, I guess.

    That would be great. In addition to this, I’d like something that combines bookmarks and something like zotero, so I bookmark something and create a locally hosted web archive. Ideally saving what is already loaded by the browser. So if the bookmark site dies I still have my archive including all images.

    Ideally this could also improve coverage of webarchive through p2p.

    I’ve also failed at finding one… so I just try to save links in my own synced markdown files, with some intent / purpose behind them.

    IE If I’m planning a vacation, I save the links from that research to my vacation planning .md file. So I don’t just click the bookmark button anymore, they’re saved to a document for a specific purpose.

      Linkding might work well for you given your current workflow. I had considered doing the same as you, but I find the linkding extension makes saving and tagging bookmarks super fast.

      Theres also an option to make automatic snapshots on the way back machine for each bookmark (though its recommended to donate to IA to use this feature.

    I use omnivore, not exactly what you want but it’s great, and doubles as an RSS and newsletter reader

    Why not just use bookmarks in Firefox with sync enabled? You can self host your own sync server if you are worried about privacy.
