Hoarder
FreeSelf-hosted AI-powered bookmark manager
About Hoarder
Hoarder is a self-hosted bookmark manager that uses AI to automatically organize and tag saved content. Save links notes images and PDFs from a browser extension or mobile app and Hoarder fetches metadata generates summaries and applies AI-powered tags automatically. Full-text search finds bookmarks by content not just titles. Lists and tags provide manual organization alongside AI suggestions. The browser extension enables one-click saving from any webpage. Built with Next.js and designed for Docker deployment. Hoarder fills the gap left by services like Pocket and Raindrop for users who want bookmark management without trusting a third party with their browsing history. AI features work with local Ollama models or cloud APIs depending on your privacy preference. The project is newer but growing rapidly in the self-hosted community as users recognize that bookmarks represent a detailed map of your interests and research that deserves privacy protection.

Data & Privacy
Self-hosted bookmark manager. All saved content, metadata, and AI processing stay on your server when using Ollama. No browsing history shared externally.
Who Is This For?
Hands-on tested 2026-05
Signup Experience
Self-hosted via Docker — no external account needed. Browser extensions connect immediately to your instance. AI auto-tagging works out of the box with a local Ollama setup.
For Home Users
Best self-hosted bookmark manager with AI features. Auto-tagging and full-text search make retrieval fast. Far better than browser bookmarks for serious researchers and heavy savers.
For Business Users
Useful for research teams or individuals managing large collections of web content. Local AI tagging via Ollama keeps data fully private. Not a team collaboration tool but excellent for personal knowledge management.
Our Verdict
Hoarder is what Pocket should have been from a privacy perspective. AI tagging with local Ollama means your browsing interests never leave your server. The project is young but the concept is compelling and execution is solid.
