If you already have your Omnivore export, you can import your saved reading list into wallabag and continue with an open source service.
Omnivore announced in 2024 that its service would shut down after joining ElevenLabs. The service is now closed, so this guide assumes you already downloaded your Omnivore export while it was still possible. wallabag added Omnivore import support in wallabag 2.6.10, so that export can become part of your wallabag archive.
Omnivore migration checklist
- Locate the Omnivore export you already downloaded and keep the original archive as a backup.
- Create or choose a wallabag instance: self-host wallabag or use wallabag.it.
- Import your Omnivore export into wallabag.
- Review your imported entries and organize them with tags.
- Set up the browser extension, mobile app or RSS workflow you want to use next.
Good to know
The first Omnivore migration announcement explained that highlights were not expected to be supported at that time. Treat your downloaded export as the source of truth and check your imported library after the migration.
If you only need a hosted read-it-later service, wallabag.it is the easiest path. If you want full control of your data and infrastructure, self-hosting wallabag is the better fit.
