Firefox can use the same extension under the right conditions. I’m using it myself, so it’s one of my goals to make this happen!
I know that making your own image can be a real challenge when the output has almost 1GB. In next 24h I will try to put some images on Docker Hub.
Great idea! I will keep this in mind when updating the roadmap.
A great question! Frankly, it can be launched via any JS package manager + PocketBase executable, so it shouldn’t be that hard.
That being said, at the beginning I would like to keep it simple and stick with Docker.
Most definitely there will be an official browser extension. Grimoire is just meant to be accompanied by one! 🪄
It’s the magic of awesome DaisyUI we’re using! 🌼
The project relies heavily on PocketBase, a conscious decision. Although it could, and maybe even should, be abstracted later, the app will be limited in the authentication department by it.
In short: I can’t guarantee LDAP support in foreseeable future :(
It has many advantages over the HTTPS one. And also was always the preferred way of interacting with remote repositories by teams I worked with in my professional career.
I think this comment sums it up nicely: https://www.reddit.com/r/webdev/s/Ecg3lm5sfV
Thank you! I hope it will allow for smooth contributions for anyone willing to help make Grimoire better 🙂
Images from Docker Hub or GitHub Container Registry will be available soon :)
Grimoire uses https://metascraper.js.org/ for fetching metadata and website content as HTML and also text. Searching is not yet enabled for the latter, but it may change in the near future!
The time has come to unveil Grimoire, a bookmark manager designed specifically for everyone who is missing a little bit of magic touch when it comes to organizing their bookmarks.
Its mission is simple: to help you add, process, and organize your bookmarks in a way that makes sense.
Reasoning behind the project​
I've always struggled with organizing my bookmarks. Even though I tried many options, none of them really appealed to me. The built-in bookmark managers in browsers were too basic and didn't allow me to organize my bookmarks in a way that made sense to me. The most popular external bookmark managers have been too simple, too complicated, or too expensive for what they offer.
What I liked the most was the idea of having a bookmark manager with a relational database I had access to. This would let me retrieve my bookmarks in any way I wanted, and I could easily add new features in the future. I've searched for a solution that would allow me to do that, but I couldn't find anything that would fit my needs.
And that's how the idea of the Grimoire was born. I wanted to create a bookmark manager that would be simple to use, but also powerful enough to let me organize my bookmarks in a way that made sense to me. Moreover, I wanted to take SvelteKit and PocketBase for a spin, and this seemed like a perfect opportunity to do so.
How it looks now​
Starting with v0.1.0, Grimoire has most of the basic features you would expect from a bookmark manager:
- bookmarks:
- can be added, viewed, edited, and deleted
- can be organized into categories and tagged
- metadata, like title, description, HTML content, favicon, and image, is fetched from the website and stored locally
- can have notes added to them
- bookmark list:
- display in a grid or list view
- can be searched by title, description, URL, and tags
- filtering by category, tag, and and more
- sort by date added, domain, and more
- users:
- can sign up and sign in
- all bookmarks, categories, and tags are private to the user
- admin panel:
- is used to manage users and see their bookmark, category, and tag counts
- can be used to preview most of PocketBase settings
- other:
- it's dockerized, so it's easy to run it locally or deploy it to your server
- all the benefits of a self-hosted PocketBase installation, like scheduled backups (local and to S3), high performance, and data security
- dark mode, because dark wizardry requires darkness
- responsive design as magic should be accessible to everyone, everywhere
- early and experimental support for AI-powered features (more on that in the future), like automatic tag suggestions
- and that's just the beginning!
What's next​
It's still a work in progress, but I'm happy with the functionality provided so far. You can expect more useful features, like a way to import bookmarks from other services and export them to most popular file formats, public profiles, better admin panel, AI-powered features - just to name a few.

How to get it up and running​
If you want to try it out, you can run it locally!
