- Original notes: https://github.com/karakeep-app/karakeep/releases/tag/v0.33.2
- Permalink: https://whatsnew.fyi/product/karakeep/releases/v0.33.2

- **fixed** — Strip inline videos from large singlefile archives to prevent metadata extraction failures due to out-of-memory errors
- **fixed** — Harden the link to asset conversion mechanism in the crawler to prevent silently broken assets
- **changed** — Pin Node.js to version 24.18.1 to work around a bug in Node.js 24.19

- **added** — Allow uploading custom SingleFile archives to Karakeep directly using the CLI
- **changed** — Switch to using context menu in iOS mobile interface
- **fixed** — Use logger middleware instead of durable steps in restate
#### 0.33.2
This is a patch release for after [0.33.1](https://github.com/karakeep-app/karakeep/releases/tag/v0.33.1). It contains the following fixes:
**Bug fixes:**
* Change default "use max completion tokens" token env variable to `true` when using the default OpenAI configuration now that we're using 5.6 luna and this flag is required there (#3007).
* We're migrating to a custom karakeep chrome container (based on https://github.com/chromedp/docker-headless-shell) now that the old alpine-chrome is no longer fetch-able (and has been long abandoned by the maintainer). Check the migration guide [here](https://docs.karakeep.app/next/administration/chrome-image-migration). The old image will continue to work, but it's recommended that you migrate to the new one as it also upgrades chrome to 151 (compared to 124 in the old image). If you've been using browserless (e.g. on unraid), you're not impacted by this, and you don't need to migrate.
* Large singlefile archives (typically because of videos) used to fail metadata extraction as the parser used to OOM. We strip inline videos now to make the parsing succeed.
* Hardened the link to asset conversion mechanism in the crawler that used to result into silently broken assets. (#3002)
* Pinned nodejs to version 24.18.1 thanks to @eriktews (#2996) to overcome a bug in the latest node 24.19 version (check #2989 for details). The proxmox scripts also were pinned by @MickLesk.
* Karakeep's favicon is now light/dark mode aware, thanks to @ehfreema (#2990).
**New features:**
* You can now upload custom SingleFile archives to karakeep directly using the CLI.

#### 0.33.1
Welcome to the `0.33` release of Karakeep! The headline of this release is **semantic search**. Karakeep can now generate embeddings for your bookmarks, letting you search by meaning instead of exact keywords (and making auto-tagging noticeably more consistent along the way). The mobile app gets **offline reading**, so you can save articles to your device and read them on a plane, along with new layouts, sorting, and one-tap clipboard saving. **Cookie and GDPR consents** should be something of the past with this release (finally). Plus a big batch of crawler, security and performance fixes.
Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release: @esimkowitz, @joestump, @zerone0x, @ElectricTea, @optix2000, @thiswillbeyourgithub, @jcgoodwin86, @InventorB, @VrtxOmega, @pike00, @KayMi, @TanishValesha, @mahirhir, @moduvoice, @eviaaaaa, @archit-goyal, @CertStone, and everyone who shipped code, triaged bugs, or shared feedback.
*Note: the changes mentioned here for the extension and mobile releases will need to go through the different store (apple, google, mozilla) reviews. So it might take a couple of days until all of them are released.*

#### New Features 🚀
* **Semantic Search** (#2959, #2960) - Search is no longer limited to exact keyword matching. There are now three search modes, switchable from a dropdown in the search bar:
* `Full text` - the existing keyword search (still the default).
* `Semantic` [Experimental] - pure meaning-based search powered by embeddings. Searching for "how to make coffee" will find your espresso bookmarks even if they never use those words.
* `Hybrid` [Experimental] - fuses the results of both.
* The new mode is also available in the API, MCP and CLI which is going to be the most useful with agents.
* Semantic search is still new and experimental, so results might not be super accurate yet, but it's a start.
* ⚠️ Semantic search requires embeddings to be enabled, read the upgrade notes for details about how to enable them.
* **Smarter auto-tagging using embeddings** (#2858) - When tagging a new bookmark, Karakeep now looks up semantically similar bookmarks and feeds their existing tags into the LLM prompt as suggestions. The result is a lot less tag sprawl (no more `k8s`, `kubernetes` and `Kubernetes` all coexisting). This also requires embeddings to be enabled, read the upgrade notes for details about how them.
* **Cleaner saved pages** (#2973): the crawler now detects common consent dialogs (cookies and GDPR) and automatically opts out before capturing the article, screenshot and PDF.
* **Offline reading on mobile** (#2957) - The mobile app can now work without a connection:
* **Save articles for offline**: from a bookmark's "…" menu, pick *Make available offline*. The full article is downloaded and kept on device until you remove it.
* **Recent cache**: everything you browse (bookmark lists, tags, lists, highlights) is now persisted for 7 days, so recently visited screens still open when you're offline.
* **Mobile app improvements**:
* **New layouts** (#2837): switch between the existing card layout and a new compact list layout. *Note: the default is now the list layout.*
* **Sorting** (#2777): sort your bookmarks newest-first or oldest-first (overdue, sorry!).
* **Save from clipboard** (#2868): a new *Clipboard* entry in the "+" menu saves whatever is in your clipboard in one tap. Thanks @InventorB!
* The manage bookmark sheet now has favourite, arc

Welcome to the `0.32.0` release of Karakeep! The mobile app is getting a major redesign by @esimkowitz so that it feels more native and friendly to use. Our long-overdue Safari extension is now available on the app store. Karakeep is now more AI-agents friendly with an official skill, revamped and more powerful CLI, granular API keys (and more coming in the next release). SingleFile is now integrated inside the karakeep extension itself for better crawling of authenticated pages. Keyboard shortcuts for faster actions across the app. And tons of fixes!
This release has a huge list of contributors. Some frequent faces, and many contributing their first PRs.

#### New Features 🚀
* Karakeep's **Safari extension** is now available on the App Store ([link](https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/karakeep-app/id6479258022?platform=mac)), closing Karakeep's oldest open issue (#10).
* Huge **mobile app revamp lead by @esimkowitz**:
* More native screens, headers and action buttons by @esimkowitz (#2685)
* Customizable reader toolbar by @esimkowitz (#2527)
* Add ability to keep screen on for bookmark reading by @esimkowitz (#2691)
* Opening links in the reader view now opens them in an in-app browser so that you can quickly go back to where you left by @esimkowitz (#2696)
* Add ability to default open links in external browser by @xingzihai (#2516)
* **Karakeep for Agentic usage**: Our goal is to make Karakeep very AI agents friendly. This will allow agents (OpenClaw, Hermes, etc) to find and hoard interesting content on your behalf, provide weekly digests, and more.
* We're publishing an official skill for karakeep on ClawHub and skills.sh (details [here](https://docs.karakeep.app/next/integrations/agentic-skills)). Those skills teach the agent karakeep's concepts and how to use the CLI.
* CLI improvements:
* The CLI also got major improvements allowing it to manage more aspects for bookmarks, lists, and tags. Also got more AI friendly formatting, etc.
* To avoid having to pass the address and API key with every request, karakeep can now store the auth config in a file and use it for further requests. Init that file with `karakeep auth init`.
* If you're afraid to give agents full Read/Write access to your data, API keys now have granular scopes to all resources. Which means you can give agents access to your bookmarks but not administrative actions (like deleting users), etc.
* **Keyboard Shortcuts**: You can now do more with the keyboard, as we added support for navigating the bookmark grid with keyboard shortcuts, and taking actions such as favouring/archiving and doing bulk actions. This is the beginning, and please send feature requests for the extra features you need.
* **Extension improvements**:
* [Experimental] The extension can now crawl bookmarks from the client-side eliminating the need of using the SingleFile extension separately from Karakeep (

This release brings a refreshed import pipeline, uploading custom attachments, revamped tags page, inline checklists, and a bunch of quality-of-life touches across the web app, extension and mobile app. Huge thanks to @BOTkirial, @qixing-jk, @@maya-doshi, @BenjaminMichaelis, @cloudchristoph, @claytono, as usual @xuatz and everyone who shipped code, triaged bugs, or shared feedback for this release.

And in case you missed it, we now have a ☁️ managed offering ☁️ for those who don't want to self-host. We're still in private beta (you can signup for access [here](https://tally.so/r/wo8zzx)) and gradually letting more and more users in.
#### New Features 🚀
- Revamped import experience with progress tracking (#2001)
- Revamped Tags page that adds search and pagination to better serve users with thousands of tags (#1987)

- Inline checklist toggling for text bookmarks (#1933) – @BOTkirial
- With every release, you'll be prompted to view what's new in that release from inside the app.
- You can now pass custom headers from the mobile app to the server (#2103)
- Extension improvements:
- Tab bookmark badge indicator by @qixing-jk shows when a page is already bookmarked (#1745)
- You can now write notes directly after saving a bookmark in the extension (#2104)
#### UX Improvements ✨
