ArchiveBox

About

ArchiveBox is a free, open-source, self-hosted web archiving platform originating from the United States, developed for the indie-web and archiving communities. It specializes in storing web content as HTML, PDFs, screenshots, media, and WARC files, and facilitates imports from bookmarks, RSS feeds, or various files. The platform supports browser history integration, archiving of complex sites, JSON indexing, Git repository archiving, regular scheduling, and offline browsing. Key features include a strong focus on privacy, network tools, website screenshot capabilities, and anticensorship measures, with community input encouraged for feature suggestions and voting. Available across multiple platforms including Mac, Windows, Linux, Self-Hosted environments, and Docker, ArchiveBox is community-owned and operates under an attractive MIT license, offering enhanced security and privacy compared to proprietary alternatives like Archive Today and Wayback Machine due to its open-source nature. While praised by users for being fast and uncensored, some feedback indicates it can be challenging to use and is currently under development, with plans to add more useful features. Its development is actively tracked on GitHub (github.com/pirate/ArchiveBox), and it is listed on alternativeto.com, which maintains a Twitter presence at twitter.com/alternativeto.
