A bookmark is a promise the website makes. A saved copy is a promise you keep. ![]()
Six free tools, told by what they keep.
Keeps the whole page โ
ArchiveBox ยท 28.9kโ
HTML, screenshots, PDF, video. Feed it your browser history and it walks every URL in a headless browser, then builds you a searchable archive on your own disk.
Keeps your links, and tags them โ
karakeep ยท 30.0kโ
Bookmarks plus notes, with an AI labelling what you saved this time. Built for people who save fifty links a week and never look again.
Keeps a screenshot and a PDF of each โ
Linkwarden ยท 20.2kโ
The one that looks like a product rather than a script, and stays on your server. Good for a shared reading list.
Keeps one page as one file โ
SingleFile ยท 22.7kโ
A browser extension, no server, no account. The five-minute version: save, drop in a folder, done.
Keeps the article, readable forever โ

archive โ opens in ten years
