Karakeep

Previously known as Hoarder and now holding 28,000+ GitHub stars, Karakeep is the most popular open-source bookmark-everything application — combining AI-powered automatic tagging with full-text search, page archival, and cross-platform access for digital content hoarders who refuse to let valuable links disappear. The Next.js frontend with tRPC communication delivers a responsive interface for saving links, notes, images, and PDFs, while Puppeteer crawls bookmarked pages to fetch titles, descriptions, and images automatically. LLM-based auto-tagging supports OpenAI, Anthropic, or local models via Ollama for privacy-first deployments that never send data to external services. Meilisearch powers full-text and semantic search across all stored content including OCR-extracted text from images. A rule-based automation engine triggers custom actions based on bookmark properties — automatically sorting, tagging, or archiving content matching defined conditions. Full page archival via Monolith preserves complete page snapshots against link rot, while yt-dlp integration archives videos from YouTube and other platforms. RSS feed ingestion automatically captures new articles from subscribed sources. Collaborative lists enable teams to build shared bookmark collections, with per-list permissions and real-time sync. Native iOS and Android apps, Chrome and Firefox extensions, and browser bookmark sync via Floccus ensure capture from any device. Importers migrate data from Chrome, Pocket, Linkwarden, Omnivore, and Tab Session Manager. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

Benefits

  • AI Powered Automatic Content Tagging
  • LLM-based tagging and summarization using OpenAI, Anthropic, or local Ollama models automatically categorizes every bookmark. Zero manual organization required — content is searchable immediately after saving.
  • Complete Protection Against Link Rot
  • Full page archival via Monolith preserves complete page snapshots locally. Video archival through yt-dlp captures YouTube and platform content before it disappears — your digital library never breaks.
  • Cross Platform Capture Everywhere
  • Native iOS and Android apps, Chrome and Firefox extensions, REST API, and Floccus browser sync ensure you can capture content from any device or workflow instantly.
  • Private Local AI Without Cloud
  • Connect Ollama for entirely on-premises AI tagging and summarization. No data leaves your server — full AI capabilities without OpenAI API keys or external service dependencies.
