I recently switched to using KeePass and Syncthing, and I love them. I was wondering if there's a bookmark manager where I can keep all my bookmarks on a synced file like KeePass. I've tried looking, but I haven't had any luck. Does anyone know of one?

Yeah I guess I could use KeePass for this, but it seems like it might be tedious.

My reasons for asking: I don't want to pay for a service, I don't want to rely a service that could shutdown (I used to use del.icio.us once upon a time), and I do want something that syncs

I'm currently using Shaarli on a cheap host, but they're about to raise their prices drastically. Also, I'm not very tech savvy so I haven't been able to update is since I started using it, so I kind of don't want to deal with it anymore away.

I just checked out Floccus but I'm not sure it'll work for me because it requires a server or additional service.

If you don't want to keep running a service, yeah it limits your options.

According to this, the Floccus browser addon is not able to (continuously) save to a file due to restrictions on what browser extensions are allowed to do.

However, if you're on Windows of MacOS, it looks like you can use the tool LoFloccus. It hasn't been updated in a couple of years, but the Floccus dev was recommending it only a month ago so maybe it still works?
