The best bookmark managers

Browser bookmarks are fine until you have a few hundred. These apps keep links findable: some for reading later, some for keeping everything, and one for designers who save websites as references.

What to look for

Decide what you save. Articles you mean to read want a reading view and highlights. Links you keep for reference want collections, tags and search that still works in two years. Websites you save for their design want a picture of the page, not just a title.

What is the best bookmark manager?+

For most people, Raindrop.io: it is cross-browser, cheap and organises links well. For designers saving websites as references, save.design keeps a screenshot, the fonts and the tech stack with every save. For reading later, Instapaper.

What is the best bookmark manager for Chrome?+

Every app on this list has a Chrome extension. Raindrop.io is the strongest general choice; save.design's extension also saves a single section of a page or a screen recording.

Is there a free bookmark manager?+

Raindrop.io, Instapaper and Are.na all have free plans. Chrome's built-in bookmarks are free too, but they only search titles and addresses, not what is on the page.
