Overview

Karakeep is an open-source bookmark manager for links, notes, images, and PDFs. It is designed to help people save content quickly, organize it with minimal manual work, and find it again later through tagging and search.

The product supports self-hosting with Docker and also offers Karakeep Cloud. Its feature set includes AI tagging, shared lists, RSS ingestion, highlights, bulk actions, full-text search, and browser/mobile access for saving and reviewing content across devices.

Features

Save multiple content types

Save links, notes, images, and PDFs in one place so different kinds of saved content can live in the same library.

AI tagging

Automatically tags saved items with AI to make later retrieval easier without manual sorting.

Collaborative lists

Use shared lists to collect bookmarks with other people for team or group workflows.

Full-text search

Filter and find items with full-text search across your saved bookmarks and notes.

Automation tools

Set up rules, bulk actions, and RSS feeds to automate how content is captured and managed.

Multi-surface access and integration

Access Karakeep through native apps, browser extensions, a web app, CLI, REST API, and webhooks.

Use cases

  • Personal bookmark collection

    Collect articles, reference pages, images, and notes in a single searchable library instead of scattering them across tabs and apps.

  • Team link sharing

    Use shared lists to coordinate links and resources with teammates, making it easier to gather research in one place.

  • Automated content hoarding

    Capture content from RSS feeds and apply rules or bulk actions to keep recurring sources organized automatically.

  • Privacy-conscious self-hosting

    Self-host the app with Docker when you want to keep data under your own control instead of using the cloud service.

  • Cross-device saving and review

    Use browser extensions, mobile apps, or the web app to save and revisit items from different devices.
