This app has really made my life better so I thought I’d share it. It’s a bookmark everything app like raindrop.io or Pocket; except it is self-hosted. It has Firefox & Chrome extensions as well as iOS and Android mobile apps (so it’s available pretty much everywhere).

You have the option to use AI for auto-tagging or you can not use the feature if AI bothers you. AI can either be your locally hosted LLM or you can use the ChatGPT API. I use it with a locally hosted LLM.

I’m not the developer, just a happy user.

    I spun this up yesterday, because it’s the first viable Google Keep replacement I’ve seen. I love the ability to archive bookmarked pages. And while the web app is clunky for notes (worse UX than Keep), the Android app is a decent replacement. The only weird thing is the option to add notes to notes so you can note while you note.

    Worth mentioning that adding or changing a title is completely impossible on Android. Support for titles is included, but hidden, in the web UI, and the web UI adds unnecessary friction to editing notes.

    The web UI also doesn’t support newline characters unless they’re preceded by two spaces (strict markdown formatting, like on Lemmy/Reddit), which is annoying. Markdown support is nice, but the vast majority of notes and reminders that I create only require plaintext.

      Thanks for adding the android bit. I don’t use android so that perspective is helpful.

      My use case is mostly bookmarking webpages and archiving webpages. I wouldn’t use this app for notes, it’s too new (project is less than 1 year). But Joplin, Obsidian, etc. which are purely note-taking apps also require strict markdown formatting, so this app isn’t doing anything out of the ordinary there.

      Developer updates the app very regularly so please submit a PR about the title issue. That would be good to fix.

    You’re github mentions you tried linkwarden but still decided to build this. What features were you missing in linkwarden? It seems to do most of what you want in terms of bookmarks and archiving.

    Looks good and thanks for using SSO!

      It would be great to have a idea of how the two compare because I was looking for something to handle bookmarks and archives across devices

    Nice find! How long have you been using it and how well has it been working for you? Any quirks with the mobile app or browser extensions or has it been pretty seamless?

      I’ve been using it for about 2 months now. I self-host it as a Docker image. I use the iOS mobile app, the web app and I use the firefox extension. Everything works great.

      I did have to configure iOS share menu to put the hoarder app at the top of the share list because I got tired of having to scroll down each time to find it. You can find instructions to customize the iOS share menu here.

      I don’t use the OpenAI feature but it is supposed to work well. The Local LLM tagging feature can be wonky sometimes, but I think that is more about my poor Docker networking skills than the app itself.
