# Karakeep

> Open-source bookmark app that tags saved links, notes and images

Karakeep, previously called Hoarder, is an open-source app for saving links, notes, images and PDFs in one searchable collection. A language model tags and summarizes what is saved, and articles can be read and highlighted in a reader view. It is built to be self-hosted with Docker at no charge, and the company behind it also runs Karakeep Cloud, a hosted version with a very small free tier and a paid Pro plan.

## Key features

- **Links, notes, images and PDFs:** Save links, text notes, images and PDFs from any device. For links, the title, description and preview image are fetched automatically.
- **AI tagging and summaries:** A language model tags and summarizes what you save. Self-hosted installs can run local models through Ollama; on Karakeep Cloud, AI tagging is listed under Pro.
- **Full-text and semantic search:** Search covers the full text of saved content in keyword, hybrid or semantic mode, and OCR makes the text inside images and screenshots searchable.
- **Reader view, highlights and archives:** Articles open in a reader view where passages can be highlighted, the mobile apps keep content for offline reading, and full-page archives protect against link rot.
- **Rules, RSS feeds and shared lists:** A rule engine tags or files new bookmarks by conditions such as the URL, subscribed RSS feeds are saved automatically, and a list can be shared with editors or viewers.
- **API, CLI and MCP server:** A REST API with scoped keys, webhooks, a command-line tool and a first-party MCP server let scripts and AI assistants search and save bookmarks.

## Good for

- People who keep links, notes, images and PDFs in one collection
- Self-hosters who want a bookmark manager with no feature limits
- Anyone who prefers automatic tagging to filing bookmarks by hand

## Worth knowing

- The free Karakeep Cloud plan stops at 10 bookmarks and 20 MB of storage, so regular hosted use needs Pro at $4 a month.
- On Karakeep Cloud, AI-powered tagging and full-text search are listed under Pro and not under the Free plan.
- Pro is capped at 50,000 bookmarks and 50 GB of storage; only the self-hosted version is unlimited.
- Single sign-on and user management on the hosted service are part of the custom-priced Corporate plan.
