The Verdict
Raindrop.io is the indie hacker's bookmark manager, especially now that Pocket is shutting down. Save articles, links, and media in organized collections with AI-powered tagging and full-text search. Unlike browser bookmarks (primitive) or Pocket (dying), Raindrop syncs across all devices with one extension, supports 30GB backup storage (Pro), and lets you find anything instantly. Free tier is generous; Pro at $28/year is one of tech's best values. Perfect for content creators, researchers, and solopreneurs who need to manage hundreds of links without hiring a librarian.
