Archivy is a self-hostable personal knowledge repository that combines note-taking, bookmarking with full-page preservation, and a searchable wiki. Content is stored as markdown files with YAML front matter, with bidirectional links, tags, a plugin system, and an API.

Use cases

• self-host a personal knowledge base
• save web bookmarks with full page content for digital preservation
• build a second brain with markdown notes and backlinks
• search my notes with full-text search
• organize notes with tags and bidirectional links
• extend a knowledge base with plugins and an API

When to choose

• you want full ownership of your notes as plain markdown files on disk
• you need bookmark archiving that preserves web page content permanently
• you want a self-hosted wiki with powerful search and plugin extensibility

When to avoid

• you need real-time multi-user collaboration or hosted sync out of the box
• you prefer a graphical desktop app over a self-hosted web server
• you need actively developed features like annotations or multi-user permissions, which are still on the roadmap
