Karakeep

The bookmark-everything app.

Visit Karakeep

Karakeep is an open-source bookmark manager for saving links, notes, images, and PDFs in one place. It fetches titles, descriptions, and images for saved links, archives full pages against link rot, and provides full-text, keyword, hybrid, and semantic search, with OCR making text inside images and screenshots searchable.

Features include AI-powered automatic tagging and summaries, a distraction-free reader view with highlighting, automation rules that trigger actions on new bookmarks, RSS feed subscriptions and publishing lists as feeds, and collaborative lists with editor and viewer roles. It connects to AI assistants through agentic skills, a first-party MCP server, a CLI, and a markdown-first API with scoped keys, plus webhooks. Native apps and browser extensions are available for iOS, Android, Chrome, Firefox, and Safari, with community projects for Raycast and Obsidian.

Karakeep can be self-hosted with Docker or used as a cloud service. The cloud offers a free plan with limited bookmarks and storage, and a Pro plan with higher limits and AI tagging. A corporate edition is managed per seat with SSO and user management; the self-hosted version is free and includes all features.
