Does Shiori save a copy of the pages I bookmark?
Yes. Shiori parses the readable content and keeps an offline archive by default, so a bookmark still opens after the original page changes or goes away.
Shiori: Bookmark Manager with Offline Archive
Keep a reading list and a copy of every page on your own server. This bookmark manager stores the readable content or a full archive of each link, and tags it. Search runs over titles, excerpts and saved pages, and you reach the list from a web page, the command line or a browser extension.

Common questions
Which database does Shiori use?
SQLite, in a file inside its data directory. PostgreSQL, MySQL and MariaDB are supported too, through SHIORI_DATABASE_URL, if you would rather run an external database.
Can Shiori import my Pocket bookmarks?
Yes, but only as links. The shiori pocket command reads a Pocket HTML export, and a community script fetches the article text and images afterwards.
