Karakeep

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.

Notes

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.
