Why?

  • a bookmarking service is useful if you use varying browsers or devices
  • there is currently no free service that supports nested folders
  • self-hosting your bookmarks offers the best privacy

Features

  • easily deployed backend
  • customizable, keyboard-friendly browser plugin
  • lightweight (~50 kB) web app
  • support for nested folders
  • data import and export
  • scan for dupes and broken links
  • support for multiple users per instance
  • responsiveness and dark mode

Getting started

You need to run a bookay server to use bookay. It includes the webapp by default and also feeds the browser plugin. There are a few free hosting solutions that suffice to run the server. See here for examples and deployment instructions.
