## What it is
Grimoire is a local-first, self-hosted bookmark manager for saving, extracting, and searching web content, with optional AI-powered summaries and semantic search. It stores everything locally in SQLite, works fully without AI providers, and offers imports, backups, an API, MCP integration, and browser capture tools.

## Use cases
- self-host a private bookmark manager
- save links and read them later offline
- import browser bookmarks and organize them with tags and categories
- search my bookmark library by meaning, not just keywords
- extract readable content from pages, PDFs, GitHub, and YouTube
- migrate from an old bookmark manager like Pocket or Grimoire v0.5

## When to choose
- you want your bookmarks and extracted content stored locally and privately
- you prefer a single-user tool that works without cloud AI services
- you need semantic search over your saved reading list
- you want snapshot-based backups you can verify and restore

## When to avoid
- you need multi-device sync or multi-user shared bookmark collections
- you want a hosted service with zero local setup
- you rely on PocketBase-era backups from Grimoire v0.5.x
