## Overview

The Bookmarks widget displays multiple app links in a single Homarr widget. Unlike [[wiki/homelab/homarr-apps|Homarr Apps]], which represent full app entries with status checks, bookmarks are lightweight link collections — useful for grouping related URLs or shortcuts on a board.

## Configuration

| Name | Description | Values | Default |
|------|-------------|--------|---------|
| Title | Label shown at top of widget | String | — |
| Layout | How links are arranged | Vertical / (other) | — |
| Hide title | Suppress bookmark item titles | yes / no | no |
| Hide icons | Suppress bookmark item icons | yes / no | no |
| Hide hostnames | Suppress hostname display under each link | yes / no | no |
| Open in new tab | Open links in a new browser tab | yes / no | yes |
| Bookmarks | Ordered list of apps to display | Select from your apps | none |

## Key Takeaways

- Bookmarks widget pulls from your existing **apps list** — you select which apps to show and reorder them freely
- **Open in new tab** defaults to `yes`, which is the expected browser behavior for a dashboard
- Three display toggles (title / icon / hostname) let you create minimal icon-only rows or verbose labeled lists
- Layout mode controls vertical vs other arrangements — useful for sidebar placement
- Not a replacement for full app widgets (no ping/status checking here); purely a navigation shortcut surface
- Add via the standard Widgets flow: [[wiki/homelab/homarr-boards|Homarr Boards]] → edit mode → add widget

## Use Cases

- Group all media apps (Radarr, Sonarr, Readarr) into one bookmark block — see [[wiki/homelab/homarr-radarr-integration|Radarr]], [[wiki/homelab/homarr-sonarr-integration|Sonarr]], [[wiki/homelab/homarr-readarr-integration|Readarr]]
- Create a "quick links" section for external URLs alongside internal services
- Icon-only compact row for frequently used tools (hide title + hostname)
