What it does
ArchiveBox takes a list of links, such as bookmarks, browser history or an RSS feed, and saves a durable copy of each page in several formats: HTML, PDF, screenshot, text, and video where available. You browse and search your archive in a web interface, and the files remain readable without any special software.
- Saves pages in many formats
- Imports from bookmarks, history and RSS
- Search, tags and a web UI
- Files stay readable without ArchiveBox
Great for: Researchers, journalists and anyone tired of links that stop working.
