Linkit is a desktop bookmark manager built for knowledge workers. AI summaries, semantic search, and a knowledge graph turn saved links into real assets. Collections let you group ideas across categories; link health checks and duplicate detection keep your library clean; one-click import from Chrome, Firefox, Raindrop and more gets you started in seconds. Six beautiful themes, local-first storage, cloud sync when you need it — your data, always yours. Connect any OpenAI-compatible API or a local model (Ollama, etc.) for full AI features. Available on macOS, Windows, and Linux.

✨ Key Features
🗄️ Local-First, Privacy-Respecting Storage
All your bookmarks are stored in a local SQLite database on your own machine — no account required to get started. Enable optional Supabase cloud sync to access your library across devices. Either way, your data is never sold or shared.
📥 One-Click Import
Migrate your existing bookmarks in seconds:
- Browser HTML export — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge
- Raindrop.io CSV/JSON export
- Clipboard URL — paste any link directly via Spotlight (
Cmd/Ctrl + K)
💡 Knowledge Assets, Not Just Links
Every bookmark is a rich knowledge card: custom tags, star ratings, pinning, personal notes, and reading status (unread → reading → read → archived). Stop losing links you meant to revisit.
📁 Multi-Level Categories + Dynamic Collections
Build a stable category tree with drag-and-drop. Then create Collections — cross-category themed spaces with custom emojis and colors — for projects, research, or inspiration boards. Drag bookmarks in manually, or let AI curate a collection from a single prompt.
🤖 Built-in AI Copilot
Connect any OpenAI / DeepSeek-compatible API or a local LLM (Ollama, etc.) and unlock:
- Auto page fetch, summarization, and key takeaways
- Smart tag and category recommendations
- AI-curated collections from natural language prompts
- Semantic search across your entire library
- Duplicate detection and merge suggestions
🔍 Spotlight Search (Cmd/Ctrl + K)
Instant full-text and semantic vector search across titles, notes, tags, and AI-generated content. Also doubles as a quick-capture bar — paste a URL and save it without leaving your current tab.
📊 Curation Insights Report
Linkit periodically generates an Insights Report summarizing your curation habits: most-used tags, reading progress, content patterns, and AI-surfaced highlights from your unread pile. Turn your bookmark graveyard into an active knowledge base.
🔁 Duplicate Bookmark Detection
Automatically surface exact-URL duplicates and AI-detected near-duplicates (same content, different URLs). Review and merge with one click to keep your library clean.
❤️ Link Health Check
Background scans detect broken links (404) and silently changed pages. Filter, review, and clean up stale bookmarks before they pile up.
🌐 Knowledge Graph
Visualize your entire library as an interactive network. Nodes connect via shared tags, collections, and AI semantic similarity. Click any node to jump directly to that bookmark.
🛡️ Secure Cloud Sync
When you enable sync, all data is protected by Supabase Row-Level Security (RLS) — every row is cryptographically bound to your user ID. No one else can read your bookmarks, not even us.
📸 Interface Showcase
📊 Main Workspace (Dashboard)
Three-column layout with collapsible sidebars, six view modes (grid, list, waterfall, timeline, tag-cluster, collections), and a rich detail panel.

🔍 Spotlight Search (Cmd/Ctrl + K)
Instant multi-attribute and semantic search, or paste a URL to capture and analyze it on the spot.

🤖 AI Insights & Smart Summaries
One-click page analysis: core takeaways, auto-tags, and a concise summary — all generated locally or via your chosen API.

📥 Adding Bookmarks & Quick Capture
Drag-and-drop or clipboard detection. AI fetches metadata and suggests tags in real time.

💔 Link Health Check
Scan for broken or changed links and filter results by status.

⚙️ Preferences & Themes
Six elegant themes (Midnight, Ocean, Graphite, Sunset, Daylight, Paper) and full English / 简体中文 localization.

🛠️ Technology Stack
- Desktop Framework: Wails (Go)
- Frontend: React + Vite + TypeScript
- UI: Tailwind CSS + Glassmorphism design system
- Local DB: SQLite (via GORM)
- Cloud Sync: Supabase (PostgreSQL + RLS)
- AI: OpenAI / DeepSeek-compatible APIs or local LLMs (Ollama)
🔑 Security & Privacy
- Local by default: No account, no telemetry, no cloud dependency to get started.
- RLS-enforced sync: Cloud data is row-level secured — only you can access your records.
- Keychain-stored credentials: AI API keys are stored in your OS keystore (
go-keyring→ macOS Keychain / Windows Credential Manager). Never hardcoded, never uploaded.
