Karakeep

Save & rediscover everything you find

About

A bookmark manager that keeps a copy. Save links, notes and images, let it tag them for you, find everything again with full-text search.

Notes

Self-hosted bookmark + read-it-later app (formerly "Hoarder"; the template keeps the original hoarder id for compatibility). Bundle of two services: the web app and Meilisearch for full-text search. Recent Karakeep uses a built-in SQLite job queue, so no Redis is needed.

The agent generates the Meilisearch master key + a per-instance secret for the web app on first install. Everything stays local on the device — Obacht never sees the secrets, your bookmarks or your full-text index.

Alternative to: Pocket, Raindrop

Run it on your own hardware.

Obacht is in a closed pilot phase. Put yourself on the list. We let people in a few at a time, so it can take a while.
