Raindrop.io Chrome extension

Raindrop.io saves links, articles, and images into organized collections you can revisit from any device. It's best for people who bookmark a lot and want to organize saves beyond a plain browser bookmark bar. The catch: some advanced organization and backup features are part of a paid plan.

What Raindrop.io does

Raindrop.io is a bookmark manager that lets you save links, articles, and images into organized collections instead of a flat browser bookmark list. Saves sync to your account, so you can access them from any device, and you can group them into folders or tag them for easier searching later.

Raindrop.io free vs paid

Raindrop.io offers a free plan for saving and organizing bookmarks across devices. A paid plan adds more advanced features on top of the core saving and organizing functionality, which is aimed at people who need heavier-duty bookmark management.

Is Raindrop.io safe?

The extension needs permission to read the pages you're on so it can capture the link, title, and content you're saving. Since saves sync to a Raindrop.io account, your bookmarked data is stored with the service rather than only in your local browser.
