ArchiveBox saves an archived copy of the websites you visit into a local browsable folder (the actual *content* of each site, not just the list of links). It can archive your entire browsing history, or import links from bookmarks managers, rss, text files and more.
|
||||
ArchiveBox saves an archived copy of websites you choose into a local static HTML folder.
|
||||
|
||||
Because modern websites are complicated and often rely on dynamic content,
|
||||
ArchiveBox saves the sites in a number of formats beyond what sites sites like
|
||||
Archive.org and Archive.is are capable of saving. ArchiveBox uses wget to save the
|
||||
html, youtube-dl for media, and a full instance of Chrome headless for PDF, Screenshot,
|
||||
and DOM dumps to greatly improve redundancy. Using multiple methods in conjunction
|
||||
with the most popular browser on the market ensures we can execute almost all the JS
|
||||
out there, and archive even the most difficult sites in at least one format.
|
||||
|
||||
If you run it on a schedule to import your history or bookmarks continusously, you can rest soundly knowing that
|
||||
the slice of the internet you care about can be preserved long after the servers go down or the links break.

### Can import links from:

# Background & Motivation
|
||||
|
||||
Vast treasure troves of knowledge are lost every day on the internet to link rot. As a society, we have an imperative
|
||||
to preserve some important parts of that treasure, just like we would the library of Alexandria or a collection of art.
|
||||
|
||||
Whether it's to resist censorship by saving articles before they get taken down or editied, or
|
||||
to save that collection of early 2010's flash games you love to play, having the tools to
|
||||
archive the internet enable to you save some of the content you care about before it dissapears.
|
||||
|
||||
The balance between the permanence and ephemeral nature of the internet is what makes it beautiful,
|
||||
I don't think everything should be preserved, and but I do think people should be able to decide
|
||||
for themselves and effectively archive content in a format that will survive being passed down to
|
||||
historians and archivists through many generations.
