Shiori
A free, self-hosted bookmark manager that saves a permanent, searchable copy of every page you bookmark, on a server you control.

Description
Browser bookmarks disappear when a link dies, and services like Pocket eventually get discontinued or bought out. Shiori solves both problems: it runs on your own server, saves a readable, offline copy of each page you bookmark (not just the link), and lets you search everything later — even if the original site vanishes.
Shiori is a self-hosted bookmark manager written in Go, distributed as a single portable binary with both a command-line interface and a web app. It stores bookmarks with readable-content extraction and full offline archives, supports import/export via the standard Netscape Bookmark format, and can import directly from a Pocket export. Data can live in SQLite, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, or MySQL, and beta browser extensions exist for Chrome and Firefox. It's MIT-licensed and has been actively maintained for years, with over 11,000 GitHub stars.
💬 Our review
The short version: Shiori is what a lot of ex-Pocket users have been quietly migrating to since Pocket's shutdown — a no-frills, self-hosted bookmark saver that just works and doesn't depend on a company staying in business.
The standout feature is the offline archive: it doesn't just store a URL, it stores the actual readable content, so a bookmark still works even if the original page 404s a year later. The single-binary distribution also makes it genuinely easy to run on a Raspberry Pi or a cheap VPS, no complex stack required.
The honest gaps: there's no built-in sync across devices beyond the shared server (which is the point of self-hosting, but worth knowing), the browser extensions are explicitly beta, and the UI is functional rather than polished — this is a tool for people comfortable with self-hosting, not a drop-in consumer app. For anyone who wants full control over their bookmarks and doesn't mind running a small Docker container, it's a solid, low-maintenance choice.
