Before you switch

Reading tools are habits: pick the one whose capture flow (extension, share sheet, email) matches how you actually save things. Check OPML or bookmark import from your current tool; most projects support it, and your archive moves with you.

Like every project listed on SelfHosted, Karakeep is developed in the open — you can read the code, follow development, and even contribute. Check the system requirements and the project’s own documentation linked on this page before installing.
