Raindrop.io
Verified working Aug 1, 2026
A cross-platform bookmark library with search, previews, and archives.
Raindrop.io is a bookmark manager for saving articles, media, files, and other links into organized collections. It supports tags, filters, highlights, multiple viewing modes, full-text search, web-page archiving, and shared collections for teams or public pages. Apps and browser extensions make the same library available across desktop, mobile, and the web.
Why it stands out
- Broad platform coverage: major browser extensions plus Windows, macOS, iOS, iPadOS, Android, and web access
- Search goes beyond bookmark titles by indexing saved page contents, PDFs, and video speech where supported
- Built-in archiving helps preserve saved pages even if the original link disappears
- Collections can be private, collaborative, or publicly shareable without requiring viewers to sign up
- Developer-facing integrations and an API make it more automation-friendly than many simple bookmark tools
Good to know
- Free use is available indefinitely, but some capabilities are reserved for paid plans
- The service is cloud-based, so long-term access depends on the account and sync service unless you export or maintain backups
- Advanced organization features are most useful after committing to Raindrop’s collection/tag structure
