## What it is
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
