★ A Pocket alternative built to survive link rot

Bookmarks that never die.

You bookmarked that vendor KB article, that Stack Overflow answer, that config guide — and one day it's a 404. The Starchive captures a full, faithfully rendered snapshot the moment you save it, so the page is still there long after the original disappears.

Features

Everything you need to never lose a page again

Built for people who treat the web as a record, not a rumor.

Pixel-faithful capture

Pages are rendered in a real browser engine before they're saved, so JavaScript-heavy sites, dynamic content, and styling come through exactly as a visitor saw them — not a stripped-down text scrape.

One-click browser extension

The Starchive extension for Chrome or Firefox saves the page you're already looking at in a single click — no copy-pasting URLs, no breaking your flow. It can even capture pages behind a login, saving them exactly as you see it signed in instead of a logged-out wall.

Instant full-text search

Every archive is indexed the moment it's saved. Search the full text across your entire library and find the one line you remember, in milliseconds.

Folders that keep you organized

Group archives into nested folders for a case, a client, a project, or a research trail — so your library stays navigable as it grows.

Secure, scoped sharing

Generate a share link when a colleague, client, or opposing counsel needs to see one archive — without ever handing over access to your account.

Two-factor authentication

Lock your account down with TOTP-based two-factor authentication using any authenticator app — no SMS required.

A complete audit trail

Every save, view, share, and sign-in is logged against your account, so you can always answer exactly what happened to an archive, and when.

Built for uptime

Archives are synced across redundant, load-balanced nodes, so a single server hiccup never stands between you and your library.

How it works

From live page to permanent record in three steps

1

Send us the URL

Paste a link into your dashboard or click the browser extension on the page you're already viewing.

2

We render and store it

The Starchive loads the page in a real browser, waits for it to fully render, and saves a complete copy to your library.

3

Search, organize, share — anytime

Your archive is indexed for full-text search immediately and stays available even if the original page changes or vanishes.

Who it's for

Built for anyone who can't afford "it used to be there"

🖥️

IT, DevOps & sysadmins

Save the vendor KB article, the config guide, the runbook link — before it 404s on you at 2am.

💻

Developers

Archive the Stack Overflow answer, the GitHub issue, the package docs — so the fix you found once is still there next time.

🧠

Knowledge workers

A permanent, searchable home for everything you read — built for people who don't want their reading list to disappear again.

⚖️

Legal, journalists & researchers

Preserve evidence-grade snapshots and cite sources with confidence, even after the original page is edited, paywalled, or taken down.

Security & reliability

Security you don't have to think about

Your library holds pages you're relying on to still be there later. We treat it accordingly.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Yes. Every page is loaded in a real, headless browser and given time to render before it's saved, so dynamic content, single-page apps, and scripted layouts come through as they would for a live visitor.

Nothing — your archive is a separate, stored copy. It stays exactly as it was captured, searchable and viewable, regardless of what happens to the live page afterward.

Yes. Archives are private to your account by default. You control exactly what gets shared by generating individual, revocable share links — nobody gets broader access than that.

Yes — The Starchive extension for Chrome or Firefox lets you save the page you're currently viewing in one click, without switching tabs or copying a URL.

Yes. The browser extension can archive a page exactly as you see it signed in — a forum thread as a logged-in member, an internal wiki page, an account dashboard — instead of whatever a logged-out visitor would see. The first time you use it on a given site, your browser asks for one-time permission to forward that site's session to Starchive for the capture; decline and the page still saves, just as the logged-out view. Nothing is ever stored by the extension itself.

Pocket saved a reading list — a link to come back to later. When it shut down in 2025, that list disappeared too. The Starchive saves a full, faithfully rendered copy of the actual page, not just a link, so your archive survives even if the original site — or the read-it-later app itself — goes away.

You can, and for some people that's the right call — they're great open-source tools if you want full control and don't mind running a server. The Starchive is for everyone else: all the permanence, none of the maintenance. No server to patch, no storage to manage, no backups to babysit — just save a page and it's there.

Subscribe to keep archiving — $5/month covers your first 100 archives, then just +$1/month per additional 50 as your library grows. If your subscription lapses, your archives stay put for a 45-day grace period so you have time to resubscribe before anything is deleted.

Yes. Billing is handled through Stripe's self-serve billing portal, so you can manage or cancel your subscription yourself at any time.
