What you give up vs Pocket
- AI tagging quality depends on the local/hosted LLM configured — requires additional setup
- No collaborative or team sharing features comparable to Raindrop's public collections
- Mobile apps are in active development and may lag behind web feature parity
- AGPL license may restrict proprietary integrations
What you gain
- • Full data ownership — self-host Karakeep on your own infrastructure.
- • No per-seat SaaS bill (Pocket: shut down by Mozilla — saved articles at risk).
- • Open-source code you can audit and extend (AGPL-3.0).
