Shaarli

Shaarli is a minimalist bookmarking and link-sharing service that runs on your own server. It is designed for personal, single-user use, with an emphasis on speed and a database-free architecture. You can use it to keep and share links without relying on a database-backed setup. The repository includes a Docker Compose file, although the available research does not provide exact installation steps. A public demo runs the latest development version and is updated and reset daily. Plugin support is documented, including the playvideos plugin.

It is aimed at individuals who want a personal, self-hosted place for bookmarking and link sharing on a server they control. Its stated design is single-user, so the research does not establish support for teams or multiple accounts. It also does not confirm features such as tags, search, or import and export.

No specific paid product is identified as a replacement. As a result, the available research does not support a direct paid-product comparison or feature-for-feature claim. It fits people seeking a small, personal, database-free bookmarking service, but anyone requiring documented multi-user support or confirmed advanced library features should note those gaps in the provided information.
