Frequently Asked Questions

Is Némos better than Raindrop.io?+
For bookmark management specifically, Raindrop has more mature features like nested collections and multi-browser extensions. But Némos is better if you save more than just links — screenshots, voice memos, PDFs, notes, and 15+ content types, all auto-organized with AI. Raindrop is a bookmark manager; Némos is a full personal library.
Can Némos replace Raindrop.io?+
For Apple users, yes. Némos handles link saving with auto-metadata extraction, plus everything Raindrop can't do — voice memos, screenshot OCR, PDF management, and automatic AI organization. The trade-off is no Android app and fewer browser extension options.
Does Némos have a web clipper like Raindrop?+
Yes, Némos has a browser extension for Chrome and Safari that saves links with auto-extracted titles, descriptions, and thumbnails. Raindrop's web clipper supports more browsers (Firefox, Edge) and can save page highlights, but Némos adds AI organization on top.
Is Raindrop.io free?+
Raindrop has a generous free tier with unlimited bookmarks, but full-text search and nested collections require Pro ($3/month). Némos is free with unlimited saves and free full-text search across all content types — not just bookmarks.
Does Némos organize bookmarks automatically?+
Yes. When you save a link in Némos, on-device AI automatically names it, categorizes it, and adds it to relevant Smart Spaces. Raindrop requires you to manually choose collections and add tags. Némos turns 'save and sort' into just 'save.'
