User reviews

Wallabagger is praised for its ability to save articles for later reading, support self-hosting, and provide optional tagging and content saving. However, many users struggle with a complicated and poorly documented setup process, particularly obtaining necessary credentials and API tokens. Several report non-functional extension features and frustrating repetitive setup across devices. Despite its potential as a self-hosted Pocket alternative, the extension would benefit from clearer instructions, improved user interface, and enhanced multi-device usability.

Pros

Allows saving webpages for later reading, similar to Pocket.
Supports self-hosting for full data control.
Can save page content, helpful for sites with login walls.
Recent updates support Manifest V3 and OAuth authentication.
Supports tagging saved articles and allows managing them (mark as read, delete).

Cons

Setup process is confusing with insufficient or unclear instructions, especially on obtaining Client ID and Client Secret.
Extension fails to obtain API token, making it unusable for some users, particularly with hosted wallabag services.
Extension options page features (like 'Check URL' button) are non-functional or unclear.
Lacks user-friendly features like listing recent items or unread count on the icon.
Requires repeated setup on multiple devices, making it tedious to use across computers.

Recent reviews

Similar to Pocket, but you can (optionally) host your own server. Less polished, but it does the job, and you know your bookmarking choices aren't being fed into a recommendation algorithm. This extension makes it easy to save the current page to read later, with optional tagging in the save dialog. And it can save the content from the page you're viewing now, which is helpful for sites with login walls. Setup is a bit clunky, but at least you only need to do it once.

Doesn't work, there's no way to get the "verify url" to work, it's unusable.

Francisco Mendes, 2025-03-18

As a user of wallabag.it via browser I just wanted to do it more easily via extension. However the explanations about client-ID, client-Secret whatever and the extension: URL and some JSON but nothing from the webpage corresponds to anything in the extension. So I just had to uninstall the extension. It doesn't explain how to connect my account with the extension at all.
