Raindrop.io alternative
Bukmarkz vs Raindrop.io
Raindrop.io is the established choice: apps on every platform, extensions for four browsers and years of polish. Bukmarkz is newer and built around what happens after you save: it sorts links for you, finds them by meaning, and clears the ones you never open.

Bring your Raindrop bookmarks with you
- In Raindrop, open Settings, then Backups, then Create new. Raindrop emails you when the files are ready. Download the HTML file. You can also export a single collection.
- Create a free Bukmarkz account, open Import bookmarks and drop the file in. Files up to 10 MB are accepted; for larger libraries, import one collection at a time.
- Check your links and folders in Bukmarkz. Nothing changes in Raindrop, so you can run both side by side until you are sure.
Questions
Is Bukmarkz a good Raindrop.io alternative?
It depends on what you need. Raindrop.io is more mature, with apps for every major platform and four browser extensions. Bukmarkz is newer and focuses on automatic sorting, search by meaning, a self-clearing read-later queue and use from Claude or Cursor. You can try Bukmarkz free for 6 months and keep Raindrop while you compare them on your own bookmarks.
Can I import my Raindrop.io bookmarks into Bukmarkz?
Yes. Export your bookmarks from Raindrop as an HTML file and upload it on the Import page. Your links, titles and folders come across, and duplicates are skipped. Highlights and uploaded files do not carry over.
Will importing change anything in Raindrop.io?
No. An export is a copy. Your Raindrop account stays exactly as it is until you decide to close it.
Does Bukmarkz have mobile apps?
Not yet. Today you can save from the Chrome extension and the web app. If saving from your phone is essential, keep using Raindrop for now.
Do I need a credit card to try Bukmarkz?
No. You can claim 6 months of Pro free without entering a card.
