License: AGPL-3.0 — Renamed from `Hoarder` in 2024.
Good fit for Raindrop power users who valued the rich previews and want them upgraded to full-page archival snapshots.
Weak at Heavier resource footprint and more moving parts than Wallabag; auto-tagging needs an LLM endpoint.

Replaces these SaaS
- Pocket · Read-it-later / web article archive
Use the official compose stack from docs.karakeep.app. Pocket export (CSV via getpocket.com/export) imports through Settings → Import → Pocket. Beyond URLs, Karakeep also archives the full-page screenshot, extracts text via OCR, and runs a local LLM tagger (Ollama integration) to auto-categorize — the wedge over plain Wallabag.
- Raindrop.io · Bookmark manager / collection-organized
Deploy via the official compose at docs.karakeep.app. Raindrop CSV export → Karakeep Settings → Import → Generic CSV. Karakeep replaces Raindrop's previews with full-page screenshots stored locally, runs OCR on the screenshot, and (optionally) auto-tags with a local LLM (Ollama). Browser extension and iOS/Android apps round out the save-from-anywhere story.
