Karakeep
Self-hostable, searchable collection of links, notes and media with optional AI-assisted organization.
Meet Karakeep
Karakeep saves more than URLs: it brings links, notes and media into a searchable personal library. Its feature set includes automatic organization, page archiving and a reading workflow, with optional AI assistance for tagging and retrieval.
The project was previously named Hoarder and is counted only once in this directory. Users can self-host the open-source application or use Karakeep Cloud; mobile clients extend capture and reading beyond the desktop browser.
