By Karakeep and not24get.me solve the same problem with opposite bets. Karakeep bets on the algorithm: save everything, and let AI tag, categorize, and summarize it for you. not24get.me bets on you: save with a short note and tags you choose, and find it later with search that matches what you actually wrote.
Neither bet is wrong. They suit different workflows. This page lays out where each one holds up, so you can pick the one that matches the way you save and search.
The 60-second version
Karakeep is an open-source bookmark manager built around AI organization. It saves links, notes, images, and PDFs from browser extensions and mobile apps, then tags and summarizes them automatically. Search runs in keyword, hybrid, and semantic modes, with OCR for text inside images. It also pulls in RSS feeds, runs automation rules, supports shared lists, and exposes an MCP server and CLI for AI agents. You can pay for the hosted cloud or self-host the whole thing with Docker for free. If you save dozens of links a day and want software to do the filing, Karakeep is built for exactly that.
not24get.me is a hosted bookmark hub built around explicit organization. You save from a browser extension while the page is open, adding a note and tags in your own words. Everything is private until you share it. Search covers your notes and tags on every plan, and paid plans search the full text of archived pages. Shared folders and workspaces hand a team the same structure, not a pile of raw URLs. If you want a small, predictable library where every tag was chosen on purpose, not24get.me is the better fit.
Where they differ
Capturing what you find
Karakeep is genuinely strong here. One click saves a link, and the AI fills in tags and a summary while it fetches the title and image. Automation rules can tag or file a bookmark based on its URL, and RSS feeds land in your library without any action at all. If your habit is to save fast and often, that removes real friction. There is no filing step to skip.
not24get.me adds a deliberate step. When you save from the extension, you write a one-line note and a tag or two, and you pick the folder. It costs ten seconds. The return is context the algorithm cannot know: why this page mattered, which project it belongs to, what you meant to do with it. You can also import your existing browser bookmarks into a folder to seed the library.
Finding it again later
Karakeep searches the full text of everything you save, and its semantic mode finds pages by meaning rather than exact wording. OCR makes screenshots searchable too. That is a real advantage for vague memories, the “something about garlic confit” kind of search. The flip side is that semantic results depend on how the model read the page. A near miss can rank as confidently as an exact match, and an auto-tag that guessed wrong is invisible until the search fails.
not24get.me search is deterministic. It matches the notes and tags you wrote, and on paid plans it also matches the full text of the archived page. When a result appears, you know why. Preview lets you check a page inside the hub without opening a tab, and link checks flag broken URLs before you depend on them.
Working with others
Karakeep supports shared lists with editor and viewer roles, which works well for a book club, a trip plan, or a team reading list. Any list can also be published back out as an RSS feed, which is a neat way to broadcast a curated collection. The Corporate tier adds SSO and user management for larger organizations.
not24get.me shares folders and whole workspaces. The difference is what the recipient gets: your folders, notes, and tags arrive intact, so nobody has to reconstruct your structure from a flat list of links. The Team plan covers 2 to 7 seats and includes everything in Pro.
Keeping it long-term
Karakeep archives the full page when you save, which protects against link rot. Its bigger long-term story is ownership: the project is open source with an active community, and the self-hosted version is free forever with every feature. If keeping your data on your own hardware matters more than convenience, that is hard to argue with.
not24get.me is hosted only. There is no self-hosted option, and we will not pretend otherwise. What you get instead is a free tier with unlimited bookmarks, link checks that warn you when a saved page dies, and archived copies with full-text search on paid plans. Your library stays private until you choose to share it.
If you are moving from Karakeep
First, a naming note. Karakeep was called Hoarder until 2025, so older guides, export instructions, and forum answers may use the old name. It is the same project.
The move itself is manual, and it is worth being honest about that:
- Export your bookmarks from Karakeep before you cancel anything. Your data stays available for 30 days after cancellation, but do not rely on that window.
- Create a free not24get.me account and install the browser extension.
- If your export is a browser-compatible bookmarks file, import it into a folder to seed the library.
- For the links you actually care about, open each one and save it again with a one-line note and a tag. This is where the value moves over.
Some things do not transfer. AI-generated tags and summaries stay behind, because not24get.me has no equivalent to convert them into. Highlights and reader-view annotations have no counterpart either. And if you rely on the mobile apps, know that not24get.me is a web app with browser extensions, nothing more. The good news: re-saving a few hundred links at a page per few seconds is an evening, not a project.

The pattern is worth noting. Karakeep's free cloud tier is a trial: 10 bookmarks runs out in a day of real use, so the practical choice is Pro at $4 per month or running your own server. not24get.me's free tier is a plan you can stay on, since bookmarks are unlimited. Pro at 1 EUR per month exists for the moment you want full-text search and sharing.
FAQ
What is Karakeep?
Karakeep is an open-source bookmark manager, formerly called Hoarder. It saves links, notes, images, and PDFs, then uses AI to tag and summarize them automatically. It offers full-text and semantic search, browser extensions, mobile apps, RSS feed capture, and a self-hosted option you run with Docker.
Is Karakeep free?
Yes, in two ways. The self-hosted version is free forever with all features, since you provide the server. Karakeep Cloud has a free tier limited to 10 bookmarks and 20MB of storage, a Pro plan at $4 per month, and a Corporate plan with custom per-seat pricing.
What is the best AI bookmark manager alternative?
It depends on which part you want to keep. If you like AI doing the filing, Karakeep itself is the reference point in this category. If you want to keep the fast capture and full-text search but drop the dependence on AI accuracy, not24get.me covers that with notes and tags you write yourself plus full-text search on paid plans.
Does not24get.me use AI tagging?
No. Every tag and note in not24get.me is written by you when you save the page. The trade-off is deliberate: organization stays predictable, search matches what you actually wrote, and nothing in your library depends on a model guessing right.
Does not24get.me have a mobile app?
No. not24get.me runs as a web app with browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari. Karakeep offers native mobile apps, so if saving from a phone is central to your workflow, that is a real point in its favor.
If Karakeep's bet on AI organization matches how you work, use it; it is a good tool. If you would rather know exactly why every link is filed where it is, start a free not24get.me workspace and check the pricing when you need more. Weighing other options?
