About wallabag
wallabag is a free, open source app for saving web articles and reading them later. You can run it on your own server or use the hosted version.
What it does
wallabag extracts the main content of a web page and stores it in your own archive. You can read saved articles in a browser, on a phone, in an RSS reader or on an e-reader. The hosted version at wallabag.it is described as free of ads and tracking. Users coming from Pocket or Omnivore can import their saved items.
Key features
- Extracts article text from web pages
- Read in a browser, on a phone or on an e-reader
- Import from Pocket and Omnivore
- Self-host it or use the hosted service
Who it's for
People who want a private place for saved articles, and anyone who prefers open tools they can run themselves. It suits developers, home server users and readers who want to control where their saved articles are stored.
Pricing and good to know
wallabag is released under the MIT licence, so the software itself is free. Running it yourself means you need a server and some setup. If you do not want to host it, the hosted service at wallabag.it is the alternative. The project documentation covers installation and the available apps.
