Self-hosted and built around long reading, Omnivore saves articles, newsletters, and PDFs, renders web pages as clean text, remembers your place, and keeps every highlight searchable. Pages arrive from the web app's Add button or from Chrome and Firefox extensions that authenticate with an API key. Newsletters arrive through generated email addresses once an IMAP watcher or another mail bridge is set up. PDFs open in the same reader and accept highlights and notes just like articles. Labels, saved searches, and filters such as subscription:"Name" make a big library easy to slice. The RSS section follows your feeds, lets you add a story to the library or hide it, and can sort stories into topics when an OpenAI key is configured. Custom extractors scroll lazy-loaded pages, follow paginated articles, and strip pop-ups before saving. Rules trigger webhooks when pages are created or updated, which suits automatic labelling and other custom workflows. E-ink reading settings add double-tap page turns and volume-button scrolling, and Android and iOS apps sync the same library. 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.

With 12,800+ GitHub stars and over a decade of active development since 2013, wallabag is the most established open-source read-it-later application — built for readers who want complete ownership of their article archive without depending on services that shut down (RIP Pocket). The Symfony-based PHP application extracts clean article content using Graby and php-readability, stripping advertisements, pop-ups, and tracking scripts to deliver a distraction-free reading experience optimized for both desktop and mobile screens. Save articles via Chrome, Firefox, or Safari browser extensions, Android and iOS native apps, REST API, or the built-in bookmarklet — all syncing to your self-hosted instance. Organize your library with tags, automated tagging rules that classify articles by content patterns, starred favorites, and archived collections. The annotation system enables highlighting extracts and attaching notes directly within articles for research and reference workflows. Import your existing reading lists from Pocket, Omnivore, Instapaper, Pinboard, Readability, and browser bookmarks. Export articles in PDF, ePUB, MOBI, JSON, CSV, TXT, or HTML for offline reading on Kindle, Kobo, and other e-readers. Full-text search with filters by reading time, domain, language, and creation date makes retrieval instant across thousands of saved articles. RSS feed output integrates with feed readers and automation services. Docker deployment with SQLite, MySQL, or PostgreSQL persistence backends takes under five minutes.

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.

Grimoire captures, extracts, and indexes the content behind your bookmarks so you can search what pages actually say, not just their titles and URLs. The ingestion pipeline accepts links from the web UI, REST API, MCP server, browser bookmarklet, or bulk import, then fetches each page and extracts readable content using specialized parsers for GitHub repos, GitHub issues, StackOverflow threads, YouTube transcripts, PDFs, and standard web articles. Everything stores locally in SQLite with file-based content archives. Search operates in three modes: FTS5 keyword matching for exact terms, semantic embedding search for meaning-based retrieval using vector similarity, or a hybrid ranking mode combining both. Optional AI providers including OpenAI, Ollama, Anthropic, DeepSeek, and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint generate automatic tags, summaries, and embeddings without being required for core functionality. The interface built with React 18, Vite, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and Radix UI supports categories, nested tags, notes, archive and trash states, read-later flags, and multi-user isolated spaces. A single Bun-powered Hono process serves both the compiled frontend and the REST API on port 3210, requiring only one Docker container and a SQLite volume. Backup and restore export bookmarks, content, settings, and metadata as portable ZIP archives. Nearly 3,000 GitHub stars reflect growing adoption among developers and researchers.
