Your homepage and reader.
Self-hosted. Yours.
Sinkhole replaces your new-tab page, your RSS reader, and your read-it-later app with one private tool that runs on a server you control. No ads. No algorithm. No one but you ever sees what you read.
Everything you read, in one private place
Sinkhole isn't three tools bolted together — bookmarks, feeds, and saved articles share the same tagging, highlighting, and search.
A homepage that's actually yours
Build pages out of columns and widgets — bookmarks, notes, a to-do list, a clock, a search bar. Set it as your browser's new tab.
A real RSS reader
Subscribe to any feed, organize them into folders, read in a fast three-pane layout. Full-text extraction when a feed only gives you a teaser.
Read It Later, done right
Save any URL from anywhere — browser, Raycast, your phone's share sheet — and get the full article, images included, navigation stripped out. Even paywalled sites, if you're logged in.
Highlight, annotate, tag
Six highlight colors with meanings you define, notes on any passage, and tags at both the article and the highlight level — searchable, reusable, yours.
Built for keyboard speed
Cmd+K to add anything, vim-style navigation, a go-mode hint overlay for clicking anything without a mouse. Power-user fast, mouse-friendly for everyone else.
Everywhere you are
A Chrome new-tab extension, a Raycast extension for macOS, an iOS share sheet shortcut, and bookmarklets — Sinkhole meets you where you already are.
No ads. No algorithm. No data leaving your server.
Most "read later" and feed-reader products make their money from your reading habits. Sinkhole can't — it has no analytics, no ad network, and no company on the other end collecting anything. It's software you run, not a service you're the product of.
- Zero tracking, zero telemetry — verifiable, because the code is open source
- The only outbound requests are ones you directly asked for (fetching a feed you subscribed to, saving a page you're reading)
- Anything that talks to a third party (weather, YouTube, podcasts) is off by default and clearly flagged
- Your account, your database, your backups — export everything, any time
Run it in five minutes
One Docker Compose file. No managed service, no monthly fee to a SaaS company, no vendor lock-in.
What's new
Sinkhole ships often. Here's the latest.
