Read-later (shut down)

Omnivore alternatives (2026)

Omnivore shut down in November 2024 after an acqui-hire by ElevenLabs. Users had until 30 November 2024 to export. The code remains on GitHub; community forks exist. Most people wanted a product that still answers support email.

Questions

Is Omnivore's GitHub still usable?+

The code exists. Running it is on you: updates, auth, backups. Karakeep and Linkwarden are the projects that still ship releases for that audience.
