Karakeep
Karakeep is a self-hosted, open-source platform designed for personal knowledge management and web content archiving. It functions as a centralized repository where users can capture, organize, and preserve bookmarks, notes, and media files, ensuring long-term access to digital information even if original sources are removed or modified.
The system distinguishes itself through its automated content processing and security-focused architecture. It utilizes headless browser crawling and optical character recognition to ingest and index web content, while a modular artificial intelligence pipeline automatically generates summaries and metadata for saved items. To maintain privacy and security, the platform supports single sign-on authentication and includes robust network controls, such as proxy-based crawling and request forgery prevention, to protect internal infrastructure during automated tasks.
Beyond core archival capabilities, the platform provides extensive tools for library maintenance and data portability. Users can manage their collections through a command-line interface, synchronize content across devices, and integrate external data sources like RSS feeds. The system also facilitates collaboration through shared collections and public link generation, while offering a comprehensive programmatic interface that allows external applications to interact with stored data via webhooks and authenticated requests.
The application is designed for containerized deployment, providing a unified environment for managing services, database migrations, and external storage backends.
