kage is a Go CLI tool that clones websites into browsable offline folders by rendering each page in headless Chrome, snapshotting the final DOM, and stripping all JavaScript, event handlers, and javascript: URLs. It localizes CSS, images, and fonts to relative paths, can pack mirrors into ZIM archives or self-contained binaries, and includes a local static server for serving the mirror.
Use cases
- archive a website for offline reading with no scripts
- save a JavaScript-rendered site as static HTML
- mirror documentation to read without internet
- create a tracker-free snapshot of a webpage
- pack a website into a single self-contained file
- clone a site and serve it locally offline
When to choose
- you want an offline copy of a JS-rendered site that actually renders
- you need a snapshot that makes zero network calls or runs no code
- you want to archive sites into ZIM archives for Kiwix
- you need resumable, scoped crawls of multi-page sites
When to avoid
- you need the site's interactive JavaScript features to work offline
- you want to scrape structured data or APIs rather than pages
- you need authenticated or dynamically personalized content preserved
