What is Shiori?

Shiori is a free bookmark manager you can use from a web page or the command line, shipped as a single program. It saves a readable offline copy of pages where possible, imports bookmarks from browsers and Pocket, and has a beta browser extension for Firefox and Chrome. It works with SQLite, PostgreSQL, MariaDB or MySQL.
