Keep your notes, feeds, and reading list private. Joplin Server syncs the Joplin note-taking app across your devices — a self-hosted Evernote alternative. Miniflux is a fast, minimalist RSS reader with no tracking or algorithmic filtering. Wallabag saves articles for later — like Pocket, but self-hosted and not going anywhere.
Miniflux
The minimalist self-hosted RSS reader — single Go binary, no JavaScript bloat, opinionated about staying out of your way.
A managed instance of Miniflux on ElfHosted — a deliberately spartan RSS reader. Reads feeds, marks them read. No social layer, no AI suggestions, no inline ads, no maybe-you'd-like-this discovery feed. Compatible with Reeder, NetNewsWire, FluentReader, and any Fever or Google Reader-compatible client. Apache-2.0.
Wallabag
FreshRSS
Self-hosted RSS aggregator with the polish of Feedly and the freedom of owning your own feed list — blogs, YouTube, Reddit, podcasts, all in one chronological reader.
A managed instance of FreshRSS on ElfHosted — the most polished open-source RSS reader. OPML import from any service, Google Reader API support for native mobile apps (Reeder, FluentReader, FeedMe, NetNewsWire), an active extension ecosystem for full-article fetching and YouTube rendering, and translations in 40+ languages. AGPL-3.0, your reading list survives every "pivot" of every social feed.

LinkDing
Fast, minimal self-hosted bookmark manager — tags, full-text search, browser extensions, single-file archive snapshots. The Pinboard alternative that's still being built.
A managed instance of LinkDing on ElfHosted — the bookmark manager that finally feels right after Delicious died, Pinboard stagnated, and Raindrop.io became a freemium upsell. Tag links, search across the entire library by content, archive copies of pages locally, and connect via Firefox/Chrome browser extensions. MIT-licensed.
FlatNotes
Self-hosted markdown notes that live on disk as plain .md files — no SQL database, no proprietary export, your notes survive every app you'll ever stop using.
A managed instance of FlatNotes on ElfHosted — a deliberately minimal markdown notes server where every note is a flat .md file. Edit in the web UI, or sync the notes folder with Syncthing/rclone and edit in Obsidian / VS Code / vim. Full-text search, tags via #hashtags inside notes, dark mode. MIT-licensed.
Beaver Habit Tracker
Self-hosted habit tracking, minus the "Goals" gamification — just check the box, build the streak, own your data.
A managed instance of Beaver Habit Tracker on ElfHosted — a deliberately minimal habit tracker with no goal-setting wizardry, no upsell screens, and no analytics shipped to anyone but you. Tick habits off daily, watch streaks build, install as a PWA on iOS/Android. AGPL-3.0, your data stays in your storage.
