## What it is
Karakeep (formerly Hoarder) is a self-hostable 'bookmark everything' app for saving links, notes, images, and PDFs with AI-based automatic tagging, summarization, and full-text/semantic search. It ships with browser extensions, mobile apps, a CLI, REST API, and Docker-based self-hosting.

## Use cases
- self-host a pocket alternative
- save and organize bookmarks with automatic AI tagging
- archive web pages to protect against link rot
- search across saved links notes and pdfs
- auto-save articles from rss feeds
- clip web pages from browser extension
- store highlights from read-later content

## When to choose
- you want full data ownership and privacy for your bookmarks
- you need AI tagging with local models via Ollama
- you want cross-platform access with mobile apps and browser extensions
- you need full-page and video archiving built in

## When to avoid
- you want a zero-maintenance hosted service without running Docker
- you only need simple browser-native bookmarks
- you cannot provide an LLM API key or local model for tagging features
