Introduction

What is Faved?

Faved is a powerful bookmark manager that helps you organize, categorize, and access your saved web content from anywhere, on any device.

There are two ways to use it:

• Self-host it for free. Faved is open-source and runs on your own computer, server, or cloud infrastructure, keeping your data entirely under your control — no third party collecting your habits, no risk of your bookmarks vanishing if a company shuts down.
• Or let us host it for you. Faved Cloud is a fully managed version that's ready in under a minute, with automatic backups, updates, and dedicated support. Start with a 14-day free trial — no setup or maintenance required.

Choose the privacy and ownership of self-hosting, or the convenience of the cloud. Under the hood, both run the same Faved, allowing seamless migration between Cloud and self-hosted versions whenever you wish — your bookmarks, tags, and workflow transfer completely.

Key Features

• Advanced Tagging System: Go beyond simple folders with a powerful nested tagging system. Customize tags with colors, pin frequently used tags to the top, and create a personalized organizational structure that works for you.

• Smart Bookmark Management: Automatic fetching of titles, descriptions, and preview images, plus built-in duplicate detection to keep your collection clean.

• Instant Search & Sorting: Find bookmarks as you type, with flexible sorting across collections of any size.

• Bulk Actions: Delete, retag, and refetch metadata across many bookmarks at once.

• Works on Any Device: Fully responsive across desktop, tablet, and mobile, and installable as a PWA for a near-native mobile experience—no separate apps required.

• Light & Dark Mode: Automatically syncs with your system theme for comfortable viewing in any lighting condition.

• Integrations: Save links from any browser with a lightweight bookmarklet, or send them via the native Share menu on iPhone, Mac, and iPad.

• Import & Migration: Import from Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge with folder structure preserved, and migrate from Raindrop.io, Pocket, and other tools retaining collections and tags.

• Open Source: Fully transparent codebase that you can inspect, customize, and extend.

Who is Faved For?

Faved is the perfect solution for:

• Researchers & Power Users: Organize extensive libraries of links to your sources with advanced tagging and categorization that scales to thousands of bookmarks.

• Developers & IT Professionals: Keep links to documentation, tutorials, code snippets, and technical resources organized with a system built by developers, for developers.

• Privacy Advocates & Self-Hosters: Run Faved on your own infrastructure to keep your bookmarks completely private and immune to service shutdowns, lock-in, or sudden price increase. The open-source, self-hosted version gives you permanent ownership and control of your link collection.

• Teams & Organizations: Need multi-user access, SSO, and centralized user management? Faved offers a Cloud Team plan for organizations — get in touch and we'll help set it up for your team.
