Readeck
Self-hosted bookmark manager and read-it-later application
Readeck is an open-source, self-hosted read-it-later and bookmark manager that archives readable content (articles, images, videos) for long-term access. It extracts main content from pages, provides a reader view, and exposes an API used by browser extensions and third-party clients. (selfhostblog.com)
Key Features
- Full-text extraction and reader view for saved pages (article parsing and metadata extraction).
- Bookmark organization: labels/tags, favorites, archive, collections and highlights/annotations.
- Export options including e-book export for long-term archival.
- Multiple persistence backends supported: embedded SQLite for single-user installs or PostgreSQL for larger/multi-user setups. (selfhostblog.com)
- Official Docker container images and a simple docker-compose setup for quick deployment. (awesome-docker-compose.com)
- First-party browser extensions (Chrome/Firefox) and ecosystem clients (Python client library, Raycast, mobile/F-Droid clients) using the Readeck API. (chromewebstore.google.com)
Use Cases
- Personal knowledge management: save articles, highlights and build a searchable archive of reading material.
- Research and curation: create collections and share curated reading lists across devices (via API/clients).
- Offline archival: preserve readable content and export as e-books for long-term storage or portability. (selfhostblog.com)
Limitations and Considerations
- Source and container images are primarily published via Codeberg; some users report regional access or mirror availability issues which can affect obtaining releases or images. (reddit.com)
- Third-party clients and mobile apps require a running Readeck instance and API token; additional configuration (reverse proxy, TLS) may be needed for secure remote access. (selfhostblog.com)
Readeck provides a focused, privacy-oriented read-it-later experience with extraction, highlights, and export capabilities. It is suitable for individuals and small teams that want full control over saved web content and prefer self-hosted deployment options.
