Every package Omnivore depends on, ranked by repo health score.
Omnivore is a fully open-source, self-hosted read-it-later application built for people who take their reading seriously. It lets you save articles, newsletters, and PDFs in a unified library, annotate them with highlights and notes, and access everything offline — all without depending on any third-party cloud service. The hosted version was retired in November 2024, making self-hosting the only way to run Omnivore, which suits privacy-conscious users perfectly.
The application spans native iOS and Android apps, a Next.js web interface, browser extensions for Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge, and integrations with Logseq and Obsidian for knowledge management workflows. Articles can be saved by clicking the browser extension, forwarding an email (with dedicated Substack and newsletter support), subscribing to RSS feeds, or importing from other read-it-later services.
Under the hood Omnivore is a TypeScript monorepo where a GraphQL API, a Puppeteer-based content-fetch microservice, an IMAP mail watcher, an RSS handler, and an integration handler all run as distinct services orchestrated by Docker Compose. PostgreSQL with pgvector powers both structured storage and vector-based semantic search, while Redis and BullMQ manage the asynchronous content ingestion queue.
Every component is open source and designed to run on commodity hardware. A complete deployment requires roughly four to six Docker containers, and the project provides ready-made Compose files, an Nginx reverse proxy config, Helm charts for Kubernetes, and a Podman Compose alternative, making it accessible to both home-lab users and teams with existing container infrastructure.
