Frequently asked questions
What is linkding?
linkding is a bookmark manager: a place to save links, organize them with tags, and find them later.
- You host it yourself. Your bookmark library lives on your own server, accessible from different devices.
- Dingding connects to it. It is an independent iPhone, iPad and Mac app for saving and reading the bookmarks on that server.
Can I use Dingding without a linkding server?
You need a linkding server you run or already have access to. Dingding is a client for that server and does not host bookmarks for you. If you are new to linkding, start with linkding’s setup guide.
How do I connect?
Open Dingding’s Settings. Enter your linkding server’s address and API token, which you can find in your linkding account settings. Use HTTPS when your server is reachable over the internet. Your server must be reachable from the device, including through your VPN if needed.
How do I save from Safari?
On iPhone or iPad, open Safari’s share sheet and choose Dingding; you may need to add it under More. On Mac, enable Dingding in Safari’s extension settings, then use its toolbar button.
Do I need Apple Intelligence?
No. Saving, browsing, searching, and choosing tags work without it. AI tag suggestions require a supported device with Apple Intelligence available and enabled.
Can I use it on all my devices?
Connect each device to the same linkding account. Your server keeps the bookmark library; app preferences and local tagging history are stored on each device.
