I built a free, open-source AI bookmark manager that keeps everything on your own machine

Description and use

Linkit is a free, open-source AI bookmark manager that runs locally, offers advanced features, and supports optional secure sync.

Problem

Users struggle to locate saved articles, tutorials, or repos because browser bookmark bars become cluttered and hard to search.

Outcome

Linkit delivers a fully unlocked, free AI-powered bookmark manager that runs locally, offers advanced search and curation features, and supports optional secure sync.

Workflow

• Install Linkit via Homebrew or download binaries
• Configure OpenAI-compatible API or local Ollama model
• Save a URL to trigger auto-fetch and summarization
• Use Spotlight search (Cmd/Ctrl+K) for full-text and semantic search
• Create AI-curated collections by describing a goal
• Merge duplicates with one-click
• Sync across devices using Supabase if desired

Evidence

Linkit stores everything in a local SQLite database by default. No account, no telemetry, no ads, no third-party sharing.

Source

Connect any OpenAI-compatible API (or a local Ollama model) and Linkit unlocks: Auto page fetch + summarization, Semantic search, AI-curated collections, Duplicate detection, Knowledge graph.

Source

Linkit ships all of it, unlocked, under an open-source license. No paywall, no ads, no telemetry, no feature that only works if you pay.
