Link Garden

Local-first archive / static export / calm web

Link Garden — bookmarks that grow into a place.

Link Garden is a local-first bookmark library that stores your links as simple files you can keep, move, and host anywhere, without being trapped inside a browser or a platform.

No feed Plain files Quiet by default Static exports

What grows here

  • A local-first CLI that stores bookmarks as Markdown with YAML frontmatter.
  • A searchable library with index-based listing, filtering, and dedupe tooling.
  • A way to export and share intentionally, with public/unlisted/private visibility controls.

What it avoids

  • Not a social feed or engagement platform.
  • Not a hosted account you must keep paying to access your own data.
  • Not all-or-nothing publishing; private is the default.

First transmission

mkdir my-garden
cd my-garden
link-garden init .
link-garden add --url "https://example.com" --title "Example"
link-garden export --format html --out ./exports --scope public

Initialize a garden, add one bookmark, and export only what you mean to publish. The quickstart stays short and uses the existing CLI commands in this repository.
