About Betula
Betula is a free, open-source bookmark manager for a single user. It saves links with tags and descriptions, keeps local archives of bookmarked pages, and federates with the Fediverse over ActivityPub, so other people can follow your public bookmarks from Mastodon and similar software. Written in Go with a SQLite database, it is trivial to self-host. Betula suits individuals who want a personal, social link collection instead of a centralized bookmarking service.
