- 169 Raindrop.io alternatives
Raindrop.io is a solution that is very similar to Pocket when it comes to features, ease of use, and organization. The user interface is modern, clean, and customizable with themes. Unlike Pocket, you can collaborate with your friends or coworkers to edit and read the same content saved from the web. There is a free version that has all the basic features most people need, but the Pro plan offers a lot of additional pro features like full-text search, Dropbox backup, permanent library, priority support, and a duplicate links finder tool. It has clients for most browsers, iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, and a web version. Unfortunately, like Pocket and most alternatives to it, there is no Linux version.

Pinboard Features
Tagpacker is more of a bookmarking platform than a fully-featured solution to save and consume content on the web. If you prefer to save links and read them in their original format on the website it was first published, then Tagpacker could be a good and free alternative to Pocket. The lack of apps for Android and other systems is a con for some, but the features for collecting, organizing, and searching for your content is considered extensive.

Comments about Tagpacker as an Alternative to Pocket
Most Recent CommentalcaldeTagpacker is much faster to search through large collections of bookmarks; Pocket choked on a 26K bookmark collection and would often time out or fail to find all matching bookmarks when searched. It allows descriptions to be entered with bookmarks. You can filter by multiple tags whereas Pocket free only lets you filter by one. Similarly, Tagpacker lets you search within tags while Pocket free cannot do this.
entrepreneurThe best social bookmarking tool I've been using for a long time!
justAguyHighly recommend Tagpacker! It's simple and has a clean design!
Save articles and posts with PostPocket’s share extension. Organize with custom categories and tags, access your content offline, and maintain privacy. Ideal for anyone who wants to easily manage digital collections, improve productivity, and read on their schedule.

You can edit the titles and description. This is a feature that Pocket seems reluctant/unwilling to add, and their suggested workaround is in a word, DUMB..
