Hoarder - Mymind alternative - The Ultimate All-In-One Bookmark and Note Taking App

[jagan]

The below is from Noted.lol
In my own words, Hoarder is an open-source alternative to Mymind.

What is Hoarder?

Hoarder is a self-hostable bookmark-everything app (links, notes and images) with AI-based automatic tagging and full text search.

Hoarder is quite the fun tool for creating notes, saving links and images making it easy to... well, hoard all your data in one place.

Did I mention it also has a Chrome and Firefox extension? Yeah it has that too! You can quickly save pages with a flick of a button on the extension to your self-hosted Hoarder app. Just plop in the server address, log in and it's done.

You can add tags and add it to a list straight from the extension. But let's look closer at the app itself and all the features behind it.

Hoarder Primary Features

• Bookmark links, take simple notes and store images.
• Automatic fetching for link titles, descriptions and images.
• Sort your bookmarks into lists.
• Full text search of all the content stored.
• AI-based (aka chatgpt) automatic tagging. With supports for local models using ollama!
• Chrome plugin and Firefox addon for quick bookmarking.
• An iOS app, and an Android app.
• Dark mode support (web only so far).
• Self-hosting first.
• [Planned] Downloading the content for offline reading.

Looks very interesting and is continually developed & updated!

[dozod]

[RazielKanos]

[necrevistonnezr]

Now even has a (rudimentary) iOS app

@dozod upvote the original post too then for good measure

[jagan]

This is an alternative to raindrop.io too.

It says "This app is under heavy development and it's far from stable." .

[necrevistonnezr]

@girish Immich still has a very similar caveat
Hoarder does have 31 releases though and some very interesting features such as advanced fulltext search with qualifiers, APIs, telegram-bots, etc.

[girish]

This whole forum will rain down on me if we release another notes/link/bookmark app

[necrevistonnezr]

Well not from me!

[avatar1024]

@girish Never listen to those grumpy souls who complain about your choice of app packaging...we all (most I'm sure) admire and are grateful for your work!

On the topic: this app looks very cool indeed

[jagan]

@girish Beg to differ, this is not just another notes/link/bookmark app!!

This will be so useful for those who collect a lot of stuff from around the internet - researchers and such.
Once you use something like Mymind which automatically organises your messy collections, you will never go back.

Reminds me of one more thing I wanted to ask as a feature request, will post one there too: Can we have statistics of how many installations of each of the apps are in the cloudron ecosystem (surely you must have those stats), and can we rank them by popularity please, somewhere?

Thank you!

This looks like it should come with a warning about data and storage amounts--I can totally see a bunch of ppl installing it, going crazy with saving stuff, then wondering why their 4GB RAM, 20GB SSD has filled up!

[ekevu123]

@girish The other apps Cloudron has in this regard are not really good... judged by user-friendliness and mobile support.

Add me to the list of people wanting this added.

Yeah, I don't know. The amount of space the saved items take for display is off-putting. Only 3 across.

And the tagging relies on OpenAi. The blurb for this boomarker says " Though, roughly, You'll be able to generate tags for almost 3000+ bookmarks for less than $1." The problem is, as I understand it, there is a Free tier for OpenAI, and a $20/month tier. No $1 tier.

Have you not tried ArchiveBox? It's a Bookmark app, and more. I like that it saves the entire page, in various formats, rather than just the url. It's got tags galore, just like Hoarder. And you can view your saved items in a icon view, or list view, if you really need an icon view like Hoarder. ArchiveBox has browser extensions - very user-friendly. Basically, I don't see what Hoarder would bring, other than more bills I need to pay (OpenAI).

EDIT: I added the two views ArchiveBox gives. I like it.

@scooke Avoid using OpenAI, try XAI (Grok) or Deepseek & others

[SansGuidon]

I dont see the absolute need of AI for tagging really, it's so personal and can be achieved without AI, without losing accuracy. Wallabag does it with their tag engine. Cheaper and more accurate and ecological so than any AI.
AI makes also the results very random and unpredictable in terms of quality and makes such apps very dependent on something else. Why not local models?
