Servas
Self-hosted bookmark management tool with tags and groups
Servas is a self-hosted web application for organizing and managing bookmarks. It focuses on fast saving and structured organization using tags and groups, with a modern responsive interface.
Key Features
- Tag-based organization for bookmarks
- Groups with nesting for hierarchical collections
- Smart Groups that auto-collect bookmarks based on tags
- Multi-user accounts with optional registration control
- Import and export of bookmarks (JSON and HTML)
- Dark and light themes with responsive UI
- Two-factor authentication (2FA)
- Companion browser extensions for Firefox and Chrome for one-click saving
Use Cases
- Personal or homelab replacement for cloud bookmark services
- Team-shared bookmark collections with separate user accounts
- Migrating browser bookmarks into a searchable, tag-based library
Limitations and Considerations
- Requires a PHP/Laravel runtime and initial setup (app key, migrations)
- Browser extensions are provided as a separate project and deployed separately
Servas is a solid choice if you want a clean, self-managed bookmark library with flexible organization features like nested groups and smart group rules. It can run with SQLite for simple deployments or MySQL/MariaDB for more traditional setups.
