Hoarder is rebranding to Karakeep

As you might know from my previous post, Hoarder (github link) has been caught up in an ongoing trademark dispute. Since the legal process is still unresolved, I’ll have to save the full story for another time. For now, I’ve decided that the best path forward is to rebrand.

Starting today, Hoarder is rebranding to Karakeep!

The name Karakeep is inspired by the Arabic word "كراكيب" (karakeeb), a colloquial term commonly used to refer to miscellaneous clutter, odds and ends, or items that may seem disorganized but often hold personal value or hidden usefulness. It evokes the image of a messy drawer or forgotten box, full of stuff you can't quite throw away—because somehow, it matters (or more likely, because you're a hoarder!).

Over the next couple of weeks, things will start getting renamed to Karakeep (the repo, apps, extensions, etc). hoarder.app will soon also begin redirecting to our new domain: karakeep.app.

I took pride in coming up with "hoarder" as the name for the project. I've spent months searching for a different name, but nothing felt as good as hoarder was. But it's time to move on. I'm incredibly grateful for the support this community has shown throughout the whole thing. Hopefully, I can now focus my time and energy on what matters: building Karakeep.

It goes without saying, but please refrain from contacting the other party in any way, shape, or form.

What the fuck, the asshole that won the dispute had TEN downloads on Google play and launched only a few months ago

The reason that I'm pissed so much for just a name (karakeep can be found with a search engine much easier) is that I had a domain that started with "er" so it was so funny to have it installed as hoard.erXXXXXXX.com 😂

Karakeeper still works at least?

😆 number one!

I can't seem to find it. I want to know what their product is.

The other app is called similarly, but with the "e" missing.

"Hoarder" but misspelled, like Grindr

It's a massive success, Google play says downloaded between 1 to 10 times worldwide
