Faved

Large link collections stay fast and organized in Faved, a private, self-hosted bookmark manager built for exactly that job. Its core is a nested tagging system that outgrows flat folders: place Go and Python under Programming Languages, color-code tags, add descriptions, pin frequent ones to the top of the sidebar, and optionally roll up child-tag items into parent views. Saving is frictionless - a lightweight bookmarklet works in any desktop or mobile browser without extensions, and Apple devices can send links through the native Share menu. Faved fetches titles, descriptions, and preview images automatically, keeps that metadata fresh over time, and flags duplicates as you save. Instant as-you-type search, flexible sorting, and bulk actions (retag, delete, refetch) keep collections of any size manageable, while customizable layouts - card, list, or table - plus a system-synced dark mode adapt the interface to your workflow. Migration is first-class: import from Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge with folder structure preserved, or move from Pocket and Raindrop.io keeping tags and collections. The stack is deliberately light - PHP 8 with SQLite behind a React/Tailwind frontend - deploying via Docker with no external dependencies. All data stays local: no ads, no tracking, and no risk of your library vanishing with a discontinued service.
