In their own words

Historious

Historious saves webpages so users can find them later by searching their contents. A one-click bookmark saves a site without requiring a category choice or form, and full-text search supports Lucene query syntax. The service keeps a cached version of each saved page, which may remain available if the original site is unavailable. Saved links default to private; users can select links to publish on a personal search page that others can search. Subscribers can use private feeds for saved items and public feeds for public ones. Users can import bookmarks from other sources and export saved sites through settings. Browser access includes Chrome and Firefox extensions, plus a bookmarklet that works across browsers. The API accepts POST requests and returns JSON, including calls to add pages and retrieve tags or user information. Historious lists web, Android, iOS, API, and extension platforms, and its FAQ describes phone use, with bookmarklet setup varying by phone. The free plan includes 50 historified sites, with the limit raisable to 2,000 by referring friends. Paid subscriptions cost $3.97 a month or $29.95 a year. A fair-use limit of 10,000 historifications may apply, including on paid plans.
