Unmark

The open source to-do application for bookmarks.

Installation

The easiest way to use Unmark is by signing up to Unmark.it where we host the application for you. However, you can download and install Unmark and run it locally completely free.

Download the latest release - Grab the latest and greatest version of Unmark.

Running Unmark is recommended for intermediate users. This doesn't mean if you're a beginner we don't want you to try. Hack away! Just that you should expect some speedbumps (though, we're eliminating them all the time). If you need assistance beyond what is provided please create an issue on Github. Before creating a new issue we recommend search through the issues on GitHub to see how others have solved their problems.

Technical requirements

It is now recommended to use Docker / Docker Compose to install and run Unmark locally both for personal use and for development. Please see the installation instructions section below.

However, if you're going to run your own server:

History

Unmark was originally created by Colin Devroe. It was a side-project called Nilai (the Indonesian word for "mark") and rebuilt from the ground up by Plain, a small software company, which included Jeff Johns, Kyle Ruane, Tim Whitacre, Chris Fehnel, Jakub Jakubiec and Colin Devroe.

Now it is being maintained by Colin, Kyle and the community in their spare time.
