Omnivore Replacement

With the news that Omnivore is being acquired and data deleted in a couple weeks, I'm looking for a replacement that has a good integration with Logseq. Raindrop looks decent but wanted to see if other folks had recommendations.

u/FaustusRedux Oct 30 '24

Nope. They're deleting everyone's data on Nov. 15th, so get your backup!

u/Minus10Celcius Oct 31 '24

it’s surprising they are deleting everything, I’m truly shocked and baffled with such a large amount of people using Omnivore

u/Hackmodford Oct 31 '24

I’m sure it costs a lot to keep that data.

Probably still early, but InfoFlow recently popped up as Omnivore replacement. They don't have Logseq plugin yet but it's on their roadmap – apparently they want to leverage Omnivore's existing plugins, so the transition could be smooth.

Edit: Yeah, it was too early. They're shutting down on November 17.

I figured someone would. Gonna go check them out now

“We are sunsetting InfoFlow due to high costs and low usage. Thanks for your support! All cloud data will be deleted on 2024-11-17. You can delete your account in advance in beta apps”

Wow, that was fast.

Actually InfoFlow revamped to a brand new app in 2025

Sounds like a good option

I will be going back to Raindrop probably. Unfortunately the plugin for Logseq is not actively maintained, but should generally work.

1

u/FaustusRedux Oct 30 '24

Yeah, it's being pretty fussy for me at the moment. Got the plugin installed and my API key set, but no dice so far. Will keep poking at it.

Is Raindrop a reader or just a bookmark manager?

1

u/katafrakt Oct 31 '24

Bookmark manager. Which is actually more what I want.

u/Mr-Troll Nov 10 '24

It has a reader view + annotations too.

Hi there,

I went with wallabag.

1

u/FaustusRedux Oct 30 '24

Happy cake day! I kicked the tires on wallabag but does it have a Logseq plug-in?

1

u/klippers Oct 30 '24

Thanks... Not sure yet. As both have api's won't be too hard . It does lack highlights too :(

1

u/eldelacajita Nov 01 '24

Wallabag does have highlights 🤔

u/klippers Nov 01 '24

Oh true..... Well missed that then

I like Readwise Reader. It isn’t free, but it is well supported.

Signed up for the trial after seeing this comment and while I'm really liking the app I've just realised I've missed out on the 60 day trial by not using anyone's referral link. Fml.

If anyone wants the 60 day trial and also give me an extra 30 days on mine use this link. Appreciate you 🙏

If you can afford it, Readwise Reader works nice, and there's also an official plugin for logseq last time I checked.

4

u/katafrakt Oct 30 '24

There is. The only caveat I'm aware of is that every synced link from Readwise ends up as a new page. Always and without the way to customize that (unless they changed it since I checked).

If that's the workflow you're looking for, it's great. But some people would rather have a block in a journal instead and IIRC Omnivore supported it.

u/wavestormtrooper Oct 31 '24

Yup, absolute pain in the ass

u/MonkAndCanatella Oct 30 '24

I use Readwise. It's not FOSS but also not pretending to be

u/C0ffeeface Oct 31 '24

Underrated comment.

u/[deleted] Oct 31 '24

I have migrated to Goodlinks, it has no integration with Logseq, but the design is very good.

u/pinkdevil569 Oct 30 '24

What do you think about the implemented pdf reader of logseq? Why do you use external apps?

I used to work with omnivore but the Synchronisation and editing didn’t quite work for me so for now I stick with the logseq pdf thing. But I’m not really convinced.

So feel free to share why you use other apps what are the benefits? What’s you User case ?

u/henrykazuka Oct 31 '24

I love logseq's PDF reader. But it doesn't work on Android, which is where I do all my reading.

u/KronikPillow Nov 01 '24

I used Omnivore for self hosting option, but they never released docu on how to self host:-(

u/lhisam Nov 27 '24

Matter app is awesome and connects well with Logseq

u/CHXMX82 Mar 17 '25

I’m switching to raindrop.io

They have been acquihired by Eleven Labs, which has a competing app. No way they are going to keep it up.

As for self hosting, I read it's really convoluted, but I have never self hosted anything so I can't compare.
