starkeep

Your personal archive
for every bookmark you save

Starkeep saves a private copy of every bookmark as text, PDF, and a
screenshot. The link opens even when the original disappears.

Bookmark it once to keep it forever

A bookmark manager that archives every page and searches its full text.

Save it

Save from wherever you are reading, with tags and a note if you want them.

  • Browser extension for Chrome
  • Your phone's share sheet
  • The save button in the app
  • A REST API for your scripts

Keep it

Starkeep opens the page in a real browser and stores a private copy of what you saw.

  • Readable text, without the clutter
  • A PDF of the whole page
  • A thumbnail for your library
  • Images copied in, not linked out

Find it

Search every word of every page you kept, not only the titles you gave them.

  • Titles, notes, and tags
  • The full archived text
  • Matches highlighted in place
  • Read later and dead-link filters

Install the extension

The Chrome extension saves the page you are on with its title, tags, and notes, and can send the copy your tab shows for pages behind a login.

Your copy stays when links rot

Starkeep keeps a readable copy of every page you bookmark, so a dead link never costs you the page.

Start your archive

Just the part you came for

Starkeep keeps the recipe, the article, or the thread you saved, and leaves the pop-ups, autoplay videos, sign-up prompts, cookie banners, and ads behind on the original site, so the page you open later is only the part you meant to keep.

Bring everything with you

Coming from Pinboard? Export your bookmarks as JSON, drop the file on the import page, and your library arrives as you left it, every bookmark with its original date, its tags, its notes, and its read-later mark, and each page is archived as your monthly allowance allows.

Standard works with your tools

The Standard plan lets you save from a shortcut or another app and read your archive back as Markdown. Make a token in settings to start, and the OpenAPI document is published beside it.

bash
curl https://app.starkeep.run/api/v1/bookmarks \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ks_your_token" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url": "https://crumb.example/wet-doughs", "tags": ["baking"]}'

Your assistant can read your library

On the Standard plan, an assistant like Claude can search your bookmarks and read the pages you kept through Starkeep's MCP server. Every tool only reads, and an assistant connects only after you approve it.

Safe to open and quiet to read

Kept pages open without their scripts, pop-ups, or ad trackers, and the original site never sees your visit.

Account only

Every archive stays in the account that saved it, with no public profile to share by accident.

Clean copies

The page's own code is kept but never run, and copies open from a cookieless address.

No trace back

Images are copied into the archive, so the original site never learns you read it.

Before you switch

Common questions, answered before you bring your bookmarks over.

Never lose a page again
