Omnivore
Omnivore is an open-source, self-hostable read-it-later application designed to centralize web articles, newsletters, and digital documents into a personal library. It functions as a comprehensive content archiver that captures web pages and stores them locally, ensuring permanent access and readability regardless of internet connectivity.
The platform distinguishes itself through an event-sourced synchronization engine that maintains a consistent state across multiple devices by replaying user actions. It utilizes a headless web scraping service to extract clean text and metadata from raw web pages, providing a uniform reading experience. Users can manage their collections through a research-oriented workflow that supports highlighting passages and attaching personal notes to saved content.
The application provides a full suite of content management capabilities, including offline reading, cross-device progress synchronization, and structured data persistence. It is distributed as an open-source project, allowing users to maintain full control over their personal data and reading history.
