Wallabag

Wallabag is a read-it-later web application for saving articles from around the web and reading them in a clean, distraction-free view. It focuses on long-term archiving: it fetches the content, stores it in your own library, and helps you organize and retrieve it later.

Key Features

• Clean “reader mode” view with full-text extraction from saved URLs
• Tagging, starring, and status management (unread/archived) for organization
• Full-text search across your saved article content
• Import/export tools (commonly used for migrating from other read-it-later services)
• API for integrations and syncing with companion clients
• Browser extensions and mobile apps support (via API) for quick saving and reading
• Multiple user accounts support (server-side)
• RSS feed generation for unread items (useful for e-readers/RSS clients)

Use Cases

• Personal knowledge capture: save, tag, and later search articles and references
• Privacy-friendly replacement for hosted read-it-later services (e.g., Pocket/Instapaper)
• Building a long-term web reading archive for research topics and projects

Limitations and Considerations

• Content extraction quality can vary by site layout; some pages may require manual cleanup or fail to parse perfectly

Wallabag is a mature, widely used read-it-later solution with a strong ecosystem of clients and integrations. It is well-suited for users who want reliable article archiving, offline-friendly reading, and fast retrieval through tags and full-text search.
