Who is Karakeep best for?

Karakeep is best for self-hosters and heavy savers who want links, notes and PDFs tagged by AI and searchable.

  • Leaving Pocket or Omnivore

    Importers bring in bookmarks from Chrome, Pocket, Linkwarden, Omnivore and Tab Session Manager.

  • Guarding against link rot

    Full-page archives and automatic video archiving keep a copy even when the original page disappears.

  • Finding things later

    Full-text and semantic search, plus OCR on images, find a bookmark by what it was about.

  • Self-hosters with local AI

    Tagging and summaries can run on Ollama, so nothing goes to an outside AI service.

How much does Karakeep cost?

Karakeep is free to self-host with no limits; Karakeep Cloud has a free plan for 50 bookmarks and a Pro plan at $4 a month or $40 a year.
