I want an offline solution for this. What's the point of saving content from the Internet on the same Internet? You lose your connection and immediately lose access to all the saved content.

So, does anyone know of any solution like this, but running locally instead? I tried Recoll, and both the FF extension and the query engine were... unpolished, to say the least...

EDIT: mentioned in another comment Web Clipper + Joplin looks really nice!

Raindrop.io and Pocket can save articles on the Premium plan and Raindrop does it automatically it seems, it does have a few limits though.

Wallabag costs money but you can self host it. I heard it's good!

Thank you! For anyone else wondering: Raindrop costs 35 euro per year (but has a limited free version) and Wallabag starts from 3 euro per year, and has options for 5 and 25 euro, but I'm not sure if this influences functionality or is simply a way of donating money to the project.

I mean I know AlternativeTo lists it as paid.

I'd recommend [SingleFile](https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFile) for saving web pages, [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/) for taking notes and [Syncthing](https://syncthing.net/) for syncing between devices. Combining these can let you access any saved pages or notes on any device.

I would personally recommend

https://github.com/rhizome-conifer/conifer

The intent is a webrecorder for the internet.

It records all js libraries, loads videos, and all else.

Once stored, you can review a snapshot at that point in time.

They have a service option, webrecorder.io, but this one let's you store directly locally.
