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.
### Can import links from:
- 
Browser history or bookmarks (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, IE, Opera)
- 
Pocket
- 
Pinboard
- 
RSS or plain text lists
- Shaarli, Delicious, Instapaper, Reddit Saved Posts, Wallabag, Unmark.it, and more!
### Can save these things for each site:
- Favicon
- Browsable static HTML archive (wget)
- PDF (Chrome headless)
- Screenshot (Chrome headless)
- HTML DUMP after 2s of JS running in Chrome headless
- Git repo download (git clone)
- Media download (youtube-dl: video, audio, subtitles, including playlists)
- WARC archive (wget warc)
- Submits URL to archive.org
- Index summary pages: index.html & index.json
The archiving is additive, so you can schedule `./archive` to run regularly and pull new links into the index.
All the saved content is static and indexed with JSON files, so it lives forever & is easily parseable, it requires no always-running backend.
[DEMO: archive.sweeting.me](https://archive.sweeting.me)
```bash
git clone https://github.com/pirate/ArchiveBox.git
cd ArchiveBox
./setup
# Export your bookmarks, then run the archive command to start archiving!
./archive ~/Downloads/firefox_bookmarks.html
```
