What is Karakeep?

Imagine if your bookmarks, notes, and images all lived in one place—organized, searchable, and smart. That’s exactly what Karakeep does. It’s an open-source, self-hosted app that lets you save links, take notes, and store images and PDFs, all while keeping everything private and under your control.

With Karakeep you can:

  1. Bookmark links and take simple notes.
  2. Store images and PDFs, and organize them into lists.
  3. Use AI-based automatic tagging and summarization to make everything easier to find.
  4. Full-text search across all your content.
  5. OCR for extracting text from images.
  6. Auto hoard from RSS feeds.
  7. Full-page archival to protect against link rot.
  8. Auto video archiving using yt-dlp.
  9. Bulk actions support.
  10. SSO support.
  11. Dark mode support.
  12. Self-hosting first.

In plain terms: Karakeep is like a digital filing cabinet that not only stores your stuff but also helps you find and organize it smarter.
