Raindrop is not a new app. I've been using it for about five years now.

It's a solo developer project by one guy in Kazakhstan, which makes it all the more impressive. It has a great browser extension, a great desktop app (Electron-based, but very well done), and a great iOS mobile app (no idea about Android). It's also been under active development since I started using it.

One of its best features is its app, which allows you to browse your bookmarks in a split pane.

I've only checked out the AI feature now, since you mentioned it. I'm not a fan of pointless AI features that get added to apps, but this one is actually useful! It suggests places your bookmarks should be moved to. I had a bunch of stuff in an "Unsorted" folder, and it actually made really accurate suggestions for where they should be moved, and it also suggested moving some stuff I had miscategorized or where I had a more specific folder it could be in.



Honestly that's a rare good use case for AI: low stakes, passes through a human before anything actually happens, and is about ambiguos categorization based on human language.


Agreed!
