Open-source Raindrop.io alternatives

Karakeep, previously named Hoarder, is a self-hostable app for saving everything you want to keep: links, short notes, images and PDFs. It automatically fetches titles, descriptions and images for links, and its AI features can suggest tags and write summaries, including with local models served by Ollama, which suits people who like to hoard data privately.

Saved content is sorted into lists that others can collaborate on, and search covers both full text and semantic meaning. Further features include OCR for extracting text from images, a rule-based engine for custom handling, highlights, bulk actions, SSO, automatic import from RSS feeds, and archiving of full pages and videos to guard against link rot. A CLI and official skills make it usable by LLM agents, and a REST API supports other clients.

You can capture content with Chrome, Firefox and Safari extensions, and there are iOS and Android apps with offline reading. Karakeep is AGPL-3.0 licensed and built with TypeScript, Next.js and React Native. It suits people replacing read-it-later services and bookmark managers with something they host.

Linkwarden is an open-source bookmark manager for collecting useful web pages in one place. Because pages can disappear over time, it saves a copy of each link as a screenshot, a PDF and a single HTML file, so the content stays accessible even when the original goes offline.

Beyond archiving, it offers a reader view where text can be highlighted and annotated, combining the convenience of a read-it-later tool with a web archive. Pages can optionally be sent to the Wayback Machine, and an optional local AI feature tags links automatically based on their content. Collections can be shared publicly or worked on with several users.

Linkwarden is written in TypeScript with Next.js, has a React Native mobile app, and is licensed under AGPL-3.0. You can host it yourself by following the installation docs, or use the official Cloud offering, whose subscriptions fund hosting and development.

wallabag is a web application for saving pages to read later. You click to save an article, and wallabag extracts the main content so that pop-ups and other page clutter do not get in the way when you open it again. Saved articles can be classified, so a growing reading list stays organized.

The project can be installed on your own server or used through an account on the hosted service at wallabag.it. Companion projects cover an Android app, an iOS app and a browser extension, and a GNOME desktop reader exists that is not maintained by the project itself. Content extraction relies on the Graby and php-readability libraries together with the ftr-site-config rules, and translations are managed on Weblate.

wallabag is written in PHP on the Symfony framework and released under the MIT license. Installation requires configuring a virtual host after running the documented commands, and other installation methods are described in the documentation at doc.wallabag.org. Its name is always written in lowercase, as the maintainers point out.

Linkding is a bookmark manager that you host yourself. It is built to be minimal, fast and straightforward to set up with Docker, and the name combines link with the German word Ding, meaning thing. The interface is clean and tuned for readability.

Bookmarks are organized with tags, and the tool supports bulk editing, Markdown notes and a read-it-later flow. It fetches titles, descriptions and icons automatically, can archive pages as local HTML files or via the Internet Archive, and imports and exports in the Netscape HTML format. Bookmarks can be shared with other users or guests. Extensions for Firefox and Chrome, a bookmarklet and a progressive web app make saving links easy, SSO is possible through OIDC or authentication proxies, and a REST API allows third-party apps.

Linkding is written in Python and licensed under MIT, with an admin panel for user self-service. A demo and full documentation are available, and community projects include mobile apps and libraries. The README also points to managed hosting options for people who do not want to run the server.

buku is a bookmark manager and what its author calls a personal textual mini-web. It was written because the author could not find a flexible command-line tool with a private, portable and merge-able database and smooth GUI integration, and it works entirely from the terminal.

It can import bookmarks from browsers, fetch a page's title, tags and description from its URL, and let you add or update bookmarks in your favorite editor. Search supports multiple modes, including regex and a deep scan mode that is handy for URLs. It can check for broken links on the Wayback Machine and open cached pages. For people who prefer a graphical interface, bukuserver provides a browsable front end served from a local web host.

buku is written in Python and licensed under GPL-3.0, and it is also usable as a library, with related projects including a browser plug-in. The README states that it has no tracking, hidden history, usage analytics or homing, and the man page includes examples.

Shiori is a simple bookmark manager written in Go and described as a basic clone of Pocket. It can be used as a command-line application or as a web application, and it ships as a single portable binary, which makes it easy to install and run.

It handles adding, editing, deleting and searching bookmarks, and can import and export Netscape bookmark files as well as import from Pocket. Where possible it parses the readable content of a page and keeps an offline archive. Data is stored in SQLite, PostgreSQL, MariaDB or MySQL, and a beta web extension is available for Firefox and Chrome.

Shiori is released under the MIT license and documented in the docs folder of its repository, where readers can also submit corrections through pull requests. The command-line and web interfaces suit people who want a lightweight, self-managed read-it-later and bookmarking tool.

Shaarli is a minimalist link-sharing and bookmarking service that you install on your own server. It is designed to be personal, with a single user, as well as fast and handy, and it works without a database.

The project describes itself as a way to share the links you discover. It is written in PHP, with documentation on Read the Docs, a change log, an issue tracker for bugs, feature requests and discussion, and a public demo instance that runs the latest development version and is reset daily.

Shaarli is free software, and its COPYING file lists the contributors and licenses of each individual component. Its topics identify it as a self-hosted bookmarks manager, and it fits people who want a lightweight alternative to cloud bookmarking services.

LinkAce is a self-hosted application for collecting and organizing links from across the web. You can save articles to read later, bookmark useful tools, and keep a long-term record of pages you care about. It is not meant to replace browser bookmarks but to act as a searchable personal database. It is released under the GPL-3.0 license.

Links are organized with lists and tags, and the advanced search supports filters and ordering. Automated link monitoring tells you when a saved URL breaks or moves, and saved pages can be archived automatically through the Internet Archive. A bookmarklet saves links from any browser with the title and description filled in, and links can be marked private or public for sharing.

LinkAce supports multiple users with internal sharing, single sign-on through OAuth and OIDC, and a REST API that exposes all features to other applications, plus a Zapier integration. It is built with PHP and Laravel and ships Docker images, with light and dark themes. It suits researchers, professionals, and teams who want to keep their reading lists on their own server.

Memex is a browser extension from WorldBrain for curating, annotating and discussing valuable content and ideas on the web, whether you work as an individual, a team or a community. It is available as an extension for Chrome and Firefox and focuses on research and note-taking from the pages you read.

The repository topics emphasize annotations and full-text search, so saved pages and your highlights and notes can be found again later. The product's homepage also states that Memex exposes its dashboard actions through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), with a discovery manifest and a gateway that returns matching actions on demand, so AI tools can work with it.

The code is written in TypeScript and is public on GitHub, but the repository metadata does not give a license, so check the project terms before reuse. The extension runs inside your browser, and sharing and discussion features depend on the vendor's own services.
