Raindrop.io is one of my go-to tools for keeping links organised. I use MyMind as my all-in-one space for inspiration and ideas, but Raindrop is more focused. This is where I save the links I want to keep track of, like articles I want to read later, websites I need to reference, products I am considering, or any URL that I do not want to lose.

If you think of it simply, it is like creating your own personal directory of links that stays neat and searchable.

What It Does:

Here is what Raindrop.io is great at:

• Saving links quickly from any browser or device. The extensions and mobile apps make it easy to capture a link on the spot.

• Organising everything into collections like folders and tagging them so I can always find things later.

• Search that works properly, not just on titles but also inside saved articles, PDFs, and even images in some cases.

• Different viewing styles. Sometimes I want a clean list, other times a grid with visual previews is better.

• A read later mode that removes clutter, ads, and distractions from saved articles.

• Backups of pages, so even if the original link disappears, I often still have access to what I saved.

• Works across basically every platform and the web, which makes it available no matter what device I am on.

How I Use It:

For me, Raindrop is all about links.

• If I come across an article that I do not have time to read, it goes into Raindrop’s “Read Later” collection.

• If I see a website, a tool, or a product I want to revisit, I save it and tag it properly so I know where to find it later.

• When I am working on a project, I often make a dedicated collection just for that project’s research links. It keeps everything in one place without cluttering my main bookmarks.

By using it consistently, Raindrop has become like a curated library of links that I can search, browse, and rely on. It is much more structured than just throwing everything into a notes app or trying to remember where I saw something.

Why I Like It:

• It is focused and does its job really well.

• The collections and tags mean I can treat it like a proper directory. I know exactly where my links are when I need them.

• It syncs across everything I use, so no matter which device I am on, my saved links are always there.

• What makes it even better is how generous the free plan is. You can use Raindrop fully without needing to upgrade, and I love services like that.

My Final Thoughts:

Raindrop.io is the best bookmark manager I have used. It is clean, powerful, and reliable. For me, it is not about saving everything; it is specifically about saving links and turning them into an organised library.

If you often lose track of articles, tools, or websites you meant to come back to, Raindrop solves that problem. It gives you peace of mind that the things you save are actually easy to find again.
