Raindrop.io
Raindrop.io is a bookmark manager for saving and organizing material found while browsing, including articles, books and songs. Users can sort bookmarks into collections, tag them, and filter by type, tag or domain. The library offers article and video previews in Grid, Headlines, Masonry and List views. Collaboration is available on the free plan: users can set collection permissions and share public collections with visitors who do not need to sign up. Free includes unlimited bookmarks, collections, highlights and devices, plus 100 MB of file uploads per month. Pro adds 10 GB of monthly file uploads, full-text search across saved web pages, PDFs and YouTube videos, web archiving, reminders, annotations, daily backups, an AI assistant and suggestions, and priority email support. No Pro price amount is listed. Integrations include Apple Shortcuts, IFTTT, Make, Zapier, ChatGPT, Claude, Notion, Readwise, Dropbox, Google Drive and OneDrive. The maker says collections are private by default, data is stored on AWS servers in Frankfurt, Germany, and continuous backups can restore data to a point within the past year.
