Readeck is a self-hosted web application that lets you save, organize, and read the readable content from web pages like articles, images, and videos.

---

🚀 Overview

Readeck is a simple, privacy-focused bookmark manager and read-it-later tool that archives the essential readable content from web pages, ensuring you can access it forever without relying on external services.

It solves the problem of scattered bookmarks, ephemeral web content, and privacy concerns with cloud-based services like Pocket or Wallabag by providing a self-hosted solution where all your data stays local.

Built for individuals who value control over their data, self-hosters, and anyone who wants to curate personal knowledge libraries with features like highlights and e-book exports.

The project was created to offer a fast, lightweight alternative for long-term content preservation using proven technologies.
