Collection tree
Organize links into nested collections, exactly like Linkwarden. Create, rename, and delete collections from the tree’s context menus — bookmarks re-file in place.
Open-source Obsidian plugin
A calm home for your web bookmarks — inside Obsidian.
Linkhaven turns every saved link into a plain Markdown note and gives your collection a proper navigator: a Linkwarden-style collection tree and a cover-card grid that works identically on desktop and mobile.

Why Linkhaven
Bookmarks deserve better than a browser folder.
Every saved page becomes a note you already own, browsable in a view built for links — not a pile of untitled tabs.
Cover-card grid
Browse visually with cards that pull each page's og:image cover, falling back gracefully to the site's favicon when no cover exists.
Smart views
Inbox, Pinned, Unread, and Recent are always one tap away, so triage happens in seconds and nothing you saved gets lost.
Automatic metadata
Title, cover image, and favicon are captured for every save — favicons shared per domain — plus an optional readable copy. Notes rename themselves to the page title.
Zero-prompt saving
Save from the official Web Clipper, the system share sheet, or an obsidian:// URI. Duplicates are caught and offered a refetch instead.
Linkwarden import
Already using Linkwarden? Import your JSON export and Linkhaven rebuilds your collections as Markdown notes, covers included.
Tags without the mess
Autocomplete with canonical casing as you type, drag a card onto a tag to file it, and rename or remove tags everywhere from the tree.
Drag-and-drop filing
Drop cards onto collections or tags to file them. On mobile, long-press menus cover the same ground — no feature left behind.
Clean lifecycle
Deleting a bookmark cascades to its cover and archive copy, and the grid repopulates itself after every app reload — no orphans, no cold starts.
Saving
Saving is one gesture, wherever you are.
No forms, no tagging prompts at save time. Fire the link at your vault and get back to what you were doing.
One click in the browser
Use the official Obsidian Web Clipper with the Linkhaven template. One click on the toolbar and the current page is on its way to your vault.
The system share sheet
Share any page to a tiny Shortcut that fires obsidian://bookmark-add?url=…. Works from Safari, Chrome, or any app's share menu.
A plain URI
Anything that can open a URL can save to Linkhaven. Launchers, scripts, and automations all speak obsidian://bookmark-add?url=….
Then the pipeline takes over.
In the background, Linkhaven fetches the page, caches its cover and favicon locally, writes the Markdown note — and the card simply appears in your Inbox.

Prefer living on the edge? Linkhaven also works with BRAT — add the repository in the BRAT settings to install and auto-update beta builds straight from GitHub.
Privacy
Your links never leave your machine.
Linkhaven is local-first by design. Everything lives as plain Markdown in your vault. There is no account to create, no server of ours in the middle, and not a single line of telemetry. The only network requests the plugin ever makes are fetching the pages you explicitly save — along with their cover image and favicon — from their own origins.
