Omnivore is a complete, open source read-it-later application for saving and reading articles, with highlighting, notes, search, labels, PDF support, and an RSS client. It is now fully self-hosted (the cloud service was deprecated in November 2024) and includes web, iOS, Android, and browser extension clients.

Use cases

  • save articles to read later with a distraction-free reader
  • highlight text and add notes while reading long articles
  • self-host a read-it-later service on my own server
  • send newsletter articles to my reading queue via email
  • read saved PDFs and RSS feeds in one place
  • sync highlights to Obsidian or Logseq
  • listen to articles with text-to-speech

When to choose

  • you want a fully open source, self-hosted alternative to Pocket or Instapaper
  • you need highlighting, notes, labels, and full-text search for saved content
  • you want cross-platform clients including browser extensions and mobile apps
  • you want to integrate your reading highlights with Obsidian or Logseq

When to avoid

  • you want a managed cloud service with no server maintenance
  • you need text-to-speech on platforms other than iOS
  • you need a lightweight bookmarking tool without a full server stack
  • you require heavy ongoing feature development, since the project is in community maintenance mode
