Versions:
Armaria, published by Jonathan Hope, is an open-source utility designed as a fast, local-first bookmarks manager that stores every URL in a lightweight SQLite database instead of relying on cloud services. Currently at version 0.0.47 and already on its sixth public iteration, the program fits squarely into the Browser Tools & Add-ons category, yet its design also makes it attractive to users who value data portability and offline access. Because the entire collection resides in a single, standard database file, individuals can back it up with any file-sync or version-control system they already use, move it between machines, or even check it into Git for historical tracking. The architecture deliberately separates storage from presentation, so bookmarks can be edited through multiple front-ends: a minimal desktop GUI, command-line scripts, or directly inside supported browsers via extensions, giving researchers, developers, and privacy-minded readers freedom to choose the interface that matches their workflow. This flexibility supports use cases ranging from academic literature curation, where tagging and searchability are critical, to DevOps teams that share curated lists of internal dashboards, and to everyday users who simply want a vendor-neutral escape from proprietary browser sync. Being FOSS, the project invites community auditing and contribution while ensuring that no telemetry or account registration is required. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
