What is it?

Karakeep is a self-hosted app for saving links, text notes, images and PDFs in one place. When a link is saved, it fetches the page title, description and images, and can archive the full page or video so content survives link rot. An optional LLM integration generates tags and summaries, and local models through Ollama are supported.

All saved content is searchable with both full text and semantic search, and bookmarks can be organized into lists that can be shared with collaborators. A rule-based engine automates management, RSS feeds can feed in new bookmarks, and OCR extracts text from images.

Karakeep offers a web app, browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox and Safari, iOS and Android apps with offline reading, a REST API and a command-line interface. It also imports bookmarks from Chrome, Pocket, Linkwarden and Omnivore.
