Pensive – A bookmarking tool with full-text search and LLMs

After Pocket shut down, I started working on a new bookmarking solution. My main goal was to make bookmarks searchable, something that Pocket was not good at. So I built Pensive, a bookmarking solution that saves the full page content and makes it searchable with full-text search. You can add pages using a browser extension or a Telegram bot (for saving on mobile). It is written in Go with PostgreSQL, all Dockerized on a $5 Hetzner server, and the front end is built with HTMX. I have also added embeddings (using Gemini Flash Lite) to let LLMs interact with your bookmarks contextually. It is stable enough that I now use it daily. I’m considering publishing it as open source, but first I want to have a proper version ready. Feel free to email me if you’re interested in helping out or if you have prior experience with open source. Feel free to try it at https://getpensive.com
