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:

 - <img src="https://nicksweeting.com/images/bookmarks.png" height="22px"/> Browser history or bookmarks (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, IE, Opera)
 - <img src="https://getpocket.com/favicon.ico" height="22px"/> Pocket
 - <img src="https://pinboard.in/favicon.ico" height="22px"/> Pinboard
 - <img src="https://nicksweeting.com/images/rss.svg" height="22px"/> 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.
