 [Omnivore](https://omnivore.work) is a complete, open source read-it-later solution for people who like text.
 
+> [!IMPORTANT]  
+> Omnivore is now a completely Self-Hosted application. The Cloud application was deprecated in November of 2024. The community still exists on Discord, and we endeavour to keep things updated and bug-fixes ongoing.

 We built Omnivore because we love reading and we want it to be more social. Join us!
