# Karakeep Karakeep collects links, notes, images and PDFs, then helps you find them through search, AI tagging and organized lists. Use it in the cloud or self-host it with Docker. - Findings24: - Website: - Pricing: Freemium - Categories: Productivity Tools ## What is Karakeep? Karakeep is an open-source bookmark manager for collecting links, notes, images and PDFs in one searchable library. It fetches page titles, descriptions and images to preserve context, and offers automatic AI tagging and categorization to help keep saved material organized. Full-text, keyword, hybrid and semantic search provide different ways to retrieve saved items, while lists, reading tools and automation support ongoing curation. Karakeep is available as a hosted cloud service or can be self-hosted with Docker. ## What can Karakeep do? ### Capture links and files Save links, notes, images and PDFs from supported devices. Karakeep retrieves page titles, descriptions and images, and can archive full pages to preserve a copy if a link later stops working. ### Search across saved material Search full text with keyword, hybrid or semantic modes. OCR makes text in images and screenshots searchable, extending retrieval beyond page text. ### AI-assisted organization Automatic tagging and categorization, along with generated summaries, reduce manual filing when adding bookmarks. ### Read and annotate articles Open saved articles in a distraction-free reader, highlight passages and keep those highlights with the material. Mobile apps support offline reading. ### Automate and subscribe Create rules that tag, move or organize new bookmarks based on custom conditions. Subscribe to RSS feeds to save new posts automatically; lists can also be published as RSS feeds. ### Share, integrate and self-host Invite editors or viewers to shared lists. For assistant and script workflows, Karakeep provides skills, an MCP server, a CLI and a markdown-first API with scoped permissions. The open-source service can be run on your own server with Docker. ## Use Cases ### Build a searchable personal archive Collect recipes, articles, images and documents as you browse, then use text search or semantic search to recover items by their wording or meaning. ### Keep a reading queue Save articles for later, read them in a clean view, highlight useful passages and access saved reading offline in the mobile apps. ### Manage recurring web sources Subscribe to blogs or news feeds so new posts enter the library automatically, or apply rules to route incoming links into tags and lists. ### Curate a shared collection Give friends or teammates editor or viewer access to a list for activities such as planning a trip, running a book club or assembling team reading material. ### Connect saved information to workflows Use the CLI, MCP server, skills or API to let scripts and AI assistants search, save and organize bookmarks, with permissions scoped to the required access. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Can I run Karakeep on my own server?
