What is gosuki?
GoSuki is a bookmark manager built for people who value privacy and want to avoid cloud services or browser add-ons. It runs as a single executable that monitors browser bookmark files through OS-level file watchers, picking up changes instantly across every installed browser and profile. Bookmarks live in a portable SQLite database that works with Buku. You get three ways to interact: a minimal web UI (port 2025 by default), a terminal interface for troubleshooting, and a dmenu/rofi-friendly CLI named suki. Capabilities include hashtag tagging even on browsers that lack native tags, automatic conversion of folder hierarchies into flat tags, multi-device sync via P2P (paid tier) or Syncthing (free), ArchiveBox integration for offline archiving, and modules that pull in GitHub stars and Reddit saves. The software runs on Linux, macOS, Windows, and the BSD family, with packages for Arch, Debian/Ubuntu, and Homebrew. It's AGPL-3.0 licensed, and a paid Gosuki+ tier adds real-time P2P sync, private GitHub stars, and Reddit likes sync.
