What's New in Ribbon

1.7.1

September 28, 2026

IMPROVED: Finding a link in shared text. Sharing a post or message that mentions a link now saves that link, instead of asking you to paste one. IMPROVED: Less data and battery use in the background. Spotlight only updates bookmarks that changed, with smaller thumbnails, and the Tags and Bundles tabs don't reload every time you return to them. IMPROVED: Pull to refresh on the Tags tab. IMPROVED: Tags that differ only in capitalization are treated as the same tag, the way Linkding treats them. FIXED: Signing in with a wrong token or a mistyped server keeps what you typed and shows why it failed, instead of briefly opening the app and starting over. FIXED: Your bookmark list no longer appears empty right after signing in. FIXED: Links saved offline upload when your connection comes back, not only the first time. FIXED: Switching filters or sorts quickly can no longer show, and remember, the wrong list. FIXED: If an action from the Tags, Bundles, or Search tab fails, the error now shows on that tab. FIXED: Search results update after you edit, archive, or mark a bookmark from them, and "All" lists results newest first.

Terrific

I’ve used a lot of self-hosted bookmarking apps over the years, and this is the best one by far. This app alone is reason enough to choose Linkding for bookmarks.

👌

I don’t normally write app reviews but this seems like a hidden gem worth the shoutout. Stable, no nonsense, looks good, in active development. Very much worth the few bucks over other free options. Nice work!

Finally!

Finally a great native Linkding client. Very solid and developing rapidly. A must-buy!
