Request: Karakeep

Hi @Almoni_Bens,

Thanks for the suggestion, but I won’t be able to add Karakeep to the Big Bear CasaOS app store.​

While Karakeep has some interesting features, its YouTube video downloading capability violates both YouTube’s Terms of Service and my own Big Bear Tech World YouTube Channel Policy.​

Enabling or promoting tools that download YouTube videos can result in serious consequences for content creators, including:

  • Channel strikes and potential termination
  • Loss of monetization privileges
  • Copyright claims and legal issues
  • Harm to other creators whose content could be downloaded without permission

As a YouTube creator myself, I need to ensure that any applications I promote respect copyright, creator rights, and platform terms of service. While I understand the appeal of having a comprehensive knowledge management tool, I can’t support features that could harm my channel or other creators’ channels.​

I’d encourage exploring alternative bookmark and knowledge management solutions that don’t include video downloading functionality, or using Karakeep with that feature disabled if you choose to self-host it independently.

Thanks for understanding!
