What is wallabag?

wallabag is an open-source read-it-later application that saves the readable text of web articles into a personal archive with tags, full-text search and annotations. It can be installed on your own server at no charge under the MIT license, or used through wallabag.it, a paid service hosted in Europe and run by one of the project's developers. Saved articles can be read on the web, in mobile apps with offline reading, through feeds in an RSS reader or on an e-reader.

wallabag has a free plan. Paid plans start at 11 € per year, or 4 € for 3 months (wallabag.it hosted service). See every plan

Good for

  • People who want a read-later archive on a server they control
  • Readers looking for a low-cost hosted service based in Europe
  • Reading saved articles on a Kobo or PocketBook e-reader
  • Former Pocket and Omnivore users moving an existing archive

Worth knowing

  • The hosted wallabag.it service has no free plan: after the 14-day trial it costs 4 € for 3 months or 11 € a year, and prices are in euros only.
  • During the wallabag.it trial, saving by email, RSS and Atom feeds and imports from other services are switched off.
  • Using wallabag at no cost means installing it on your own server and handling backups and upgrades yourself.
  • The iOS app went closed source with its own paid features from version 7.6, and the project no longer presents it as the official iOS app.

Highlights and annotations
An annotation system lets you highlight extracts in an article and write notes against them.
Mobile apps and browser add-ons
Android and iOS apps download saved articles for offline reading, and Chrome and Firefox add-ons save the page you are on in one click.

Reading lists can be imported from Pocket, Instapaper, Pinboard, Omnivore, Shaarli, another wallabag instance or any RSS or Atom feed, keeping tags and read and favorite status.
