Shiori

Shiori is a simple yet powerful self-hosted bookmark manager written in Go, designed as a privacy-focused alternative to commercial read-it-later services like Pocket and Instapaper. With over 9,000 GitHub stars and active development, Shiori has become a popular choice for users who want complete control over their bookmarks and saved web content. The application excels at creating offline archives of web pages, ensuring your saved content remains accessible even if the original source disappears or goes offline.

Common Use Cases

Research professionals and academics use Shiori to build personal knowledge bases by archiving articles, papers, and reference materials with full-text search capabilities. Software developers save technical documentation, Stack Overflow solutions, and coding tutorials for offline access during development work. Content creators and writers bookmark inspiration sources, competitor content, and research materials, organizing them with tags for easy retrieval during the writing process. Privacy-conscious users prefer Shiori over cloud-based services to maintain full ownership of their reading lists and browsing patterns. System administrators deploy Shiori for team knowledge sharing, allowing departments to collaboratively curate and access important documentation and resources.
