What's inside Raindrop.io

  1. Overview of Raindrop.io Collections

    Collections act as folders to group related bookmarks by topic, project, or interest. Each collection can have its own unique icon and layout settings. Bookmarks saved without a designated collection are automatically placed in the built-in Unsorted inbox.

  2. Overview of Raindrop.io Reminders

    Reminders allow users to receive push notifications or emails to bring saved bookmarks back to their attention at a specific date and time. This is a premium feature.

  3. Overview of Stella AI

    Stella is an AI assistant for Raindrop.io (currently in beta and available for Pro users) that treats your bookmark library as a personal knowledge base. It allows you to ask questions, get summaries, find specific bookmarks using natural language, and organize collections. Data is hosted on Raindrop.io's own servers and is not shared with third parties or used for training.

  4. Understand Raindrop.io Web Archive functionality

    Web Archive (formerly Permanent copy) automatically creates a private copy of a web page in Raindrop.io cloud storage at the moment it is bookmarked. This ensures content remains accessible even if the original page is changed or deleted.

    Key Details:

    • Requirement: Requires a Pro plan subscription.
    • Storage: Unlimited total storage; however, individual files larger than 70 MB are skipped.
    • Automatic Process: Every bookmark is archived in the background without manual configuration. New bookmarks are typically archived within a few minutes.
    • Subscription Expiry: If a Pro subscription expires, archived copies become inaccessible and are permanently deleted after approximately one month. Bookmarks themselves are not affected.

  5. Manage your Raindrop.io personal public page

    Once you publish at least one collection, a personal page is automatically created at username.raindrop.page. This page serves as a directory listing all of your public collections.

    • Visibility: If you unpublish all your collections, the personal page becomes inaccessible.
    • Customization: To change the username or avatar displayed on this page, visit the Account Settings page.

  6. Integrate Raindrop.io with Make for automation

    Raindrop.io integrates with Make (formerly Integromat), a no-code automation platform. This integration allows users to connect their Raindrop bookmarks with thousands of other applications to create custom automated workflows.

  7. Chat with your library using Stella

    Stella is an AI assistant that allows you to interact with your saved library. You can use Stella to ask questions about your bookmarks, get summaries of content, find vaguely remembered items, or organize your collections.

  8. Review Raindrop.io privacy and open source transparency

    Raindrop.io operates on a paid subscription model (Pro subscriptions) and does not use ads, tracking, or sell user data. To ensure transparency, all Raindrop.io applications (web, desktop, mobile, and browser extensions) are open source and available for inspection on GitHub.

  9. Use AI-powered search and organization (Pro)

    Raindrop Pro users have access to several AI-driven features on iOS:

    • AI Semantic Search: Supports natural language queries that understand intent and context (e.g., searching for 'Sega Genesis' to find a 'Sega Mega Drive' bookmark).
    • Multilingual Search: Supports over 100 languages, allowing searches in a native language for bookmarks written in different languages.
    • AI Suggestions: Provides AI-generated collection and tag suggestions when adding or editing unsorted bookmarks.

  10. Detect and manage broken bookmarks in Raindrop.io

    Raindrop.io automatically scans bookmarks to identify outdated or unavailable pages. Bookmarks flagged as broken are marked with a ghost icon next to the domain name. This feature requires a Pro plan. If a Pro plan is active, Raindrop.io saves a web archive copy of bookmarks, ensuring content is accessible even if the original link breaks.

  11. Use tags to classify Raindrop.io bookmarks

    Tags allow you to label a bookmark with multiple keywords (e.g., to-read, important, Q2) regardless of which collection the bookmark lives in. Tags support any characters, any language, and spaces.

  12. Raindrop.io Pro plan features

    The Pro plan provides advanced tools for organizing and retrieving saved content. Key features include:

    • AI Assistant: Ask questions about saved content and manage bookmarks hands-free.
    • Full-text search: Search the entire content of bookmarks, PDFs, EPUBs, and YouTube transcripts.
    • Web archive: Permanent copies of web pages that remain accessible if the original is deleted.
    • Reminders: Set notifications to revisit bookmarks.
    • Library Maintenance: Broken link checker and duplicate finder.
    • Annotations: Ability to add notes to highlights.
    • Increased File Uploads: Up to 10 GB/month (compared to 100 MB on the Free plan).
    • Automatic Backups: Scheduled exports of the entire library.
