What ArchiveBox does
ArchiveBox saves web pages in several formats at once so content stays readable after moves or deletions.
It processes bookmark exports, RSS feeds and single addresses and searches the archive in full text — your own internet archive.
HTML, PDF, screenshot and WARC per page- Import from browser bookmarks and RSS
- Full-text search across the archive
- Schedules for recurring captures
Good to know before the first start. ArchiveBox downloads the target pages itself when archiving, including embedded media. Expect storage to grow noticeably.
ArchiveBox instead of Pinboard
What you get out of it
- Tags, search and nothing else, fast even with ten thousand entries

- Your collection lives in your own database
Bringing your data over from Pinboard
