Karakeep

Karakeep (previously Hoarder) is a self-hostable “bookmark everything” service for saving links, notes, images, PDFs, and archived pages in one searchable library. It adds automation features like content fetching, OCR, and optional AI-based tagging and summarization.

Key Features

• Save links, notes, images, and PDFs in a unified library
• Automatic fetching of page titles, descriptions, and preview images
• Full-text search across stored content
• AI-based automatic tagging and summarization (including support for local models via Ollama)
• OCR to extract text from images
• Lists/collections with optional collaboration
• RSS feed ingestion for automatic saving
• Full-page archival to reduce link rot, plus optional video archiving
• Rule-based automation engine for customized management
• REST API and multiple clients, including mobile apps and browser extensions
• SSO support

Use Cases

• Personal read-it-later and knowledge capture with fast search and tagging
• Team collections for shared research, references, and highlights
• Long-term archiving of important web pages and media to mitigate link rot

Limitations and Considerations

• The project is under heavy development, so features and behavior may change

Karakeep is a good fit for individuals and teams who want a private, searchable repository for mixed web content. Its combination of archiving, OCR, automation rules, and optional AI enrichment makes it especially useful for large, continuously growing bookmark libraries.
