TL;DR: v1.4.2 is the latest stable release. Since v1.0, I've added P2P synchronization, ArchiveBox integration, and expanded platform support to Windows and BSD.

Hi All,
It has been about a year since I posted the first version of GoSuki here. For those who missed it, I built this tool because I was tired of bookmark managers that require a cloud account or a browser extension that tracks every page I visit.
Since v1.0, the project has evolved from a simple aggregator into a more robust local-first data tool.
What has changed since v1.0 The core philosophy remains the same—no extensions, no cloud, no telemetry—but the implementation is significantly more capable:
- P2P Synchronization (Gosuki+): I implemented a real-time peer-to-peer sync mechanism. You can now synchronize bookmarks across multiple devices without a central server or a third-party provider.
- Archival Integration: I've integrated ArchiveBox support, allowing users to automatically trigger local snapshots of their bookmarks to prevent linkrot.
- Expanded Browser Support: Beyond the basics, GoSuki now supports Zen Browser, IceCat, Pale Moon, and Basilisk.
- Database Resilience: The storage layer has been hardened with schema versioning and automatic backups before migrations to ensure data integrity.
Highlights of the v1.4.x Series
The latest updates focus on platform accessibility and developer workflow:
- Windows and BSD Support: GoSuki is no longer Linux-only. It now builds for Windows (with a native systray icon) and Open/Net/Free-BSD.
- macOS: Available via homebrew Tap / Cask
- Decoupled Browser Definitions: Anyone can participate to add support for new browser by defining default paths in a simple YAML file.
- Enhanced CLI: The suki command now supports advanced search and sort syntax.
Upcoming feature: Local Reddit Archival
I am currently building a deeper archival system for the Reddit module that will keep a full local copy of all your liked/upvoted posts, including comment tree and media. Lemmy would be an easy update afterwards.
GoSuki remains open source under the AGPLv3 license. If you value data ownership and want a tool that treats your bookmarks as your own, I invite you to check out the latest release.
i've been dragging my feet about getting off firefox before it enshitifies too much and my bookmarks is a big part of it since i rely on syncing between all my devices, but now i know that alternatives exist; thanks for that.
