raindrop asks $28 every year
Raindrop is a good tool that rents you your library.Here, you own it for $49 once.
Nothing is wrong with Raindrop except the meter: $28 every year, forever, and a library that stops syncing the day the payment stops. Cached Hub keeps the pages you save on its own hardware — fetched whole, summarised in our own words, exportable in one click. One payment, and the thing that holds your library has no renewal to miss.
Export from Raindrop, drop the file here. We read it in your browser, count how many of the pages are already gone from the web, and cache the rest. Free to start, no card.
