What Raindrop.io is great at
Raindrop is the best general-purpose bookmark manager out there. Collections, nested folders, tags, full-text search, multi-format saves (bookmarks, articles, videos, files), browser extensions for every major browser, mobile apps, desktop apps. Multi-language UI. Pro is $3 a month.
If your goal is to build an organized library you can browse later, Raindrop is hard to beat.
How Oneaction is different
Raindrop is for organizing what you save. Oneaction is for acting on it. Every saved link becomes one verb-led to-do, six words or less. The action goes to your todo app, or stays in Simple List. No collections, no tag system, no nesting.
- One action per save. Not an organized library.
- Native hand-off to todo apps, not via IFTTT/Zapier.
- No taxonomy to maintain.
- Free during beta. No credit card.

Using Raindrop and Oneaction together
You do not have to pick. Many people will run both. Keep Raindrop as the bookmark library, the long-term archive, the searchable catalog. Send the links you actually want to act on to Oneaction with one click and let them become to-dos.
Bulk import for Raindrop exports is in progress for users who do want to consolidate. Subscribe to the changelog to know when it ships.
Questions from Raindrop users
Can I import my Raindrop bookmarks?
Bulk import for Raindrop exports is in progress. Until then, paste any URL into the web app or capture it with the Chrome extension.
Is Oneaction a bookmark manager?
No. Oneaction is action-first. Every save produces one verb-led to-do. If you want a bookmark library with tags, collections, and full archival, Raindrop fits better. Oneaction strips bookmarks down to the action layer.
Do you have collections and tags like Raindrop?
No, and that is intentional. Saving in Oneaction produces one verb-led action. No nested collections, no tag taxonomy to maintain.
Can I keep Raindrop for bookmarks and use Oneaction for to-dos?
Yes. Many users will. Use Raindrop for the bookmark library you want to keep. Use Oneaction for the links you actually want to act on. The Chrome extension lets you save into Oneaction with one click from any tab.
Do you have a mobile app?
Not yet. The web app works on phones. Native iOS and Android are on the roadmap. Desktop runs natively on macOS and Linux, and as a one-click PWA install on Windows.
How does pricing compare to Raindrop Pro?
