Raindrop alternative
A Raindrop alternative that files itself.
If you love saving links but your collections keep turning into piles, boilerpod is built for you: boards with sections, one link in as many places as it belongs, and rules that put every new save where it goes.
Why people move from Raindrop
One link, several boardsA link can live on every board it belongs to, with one set of tags, notes and highlights everywhere.
Sections inside boardsSplit a board into titled sections, lay it out as masonry, columns or Kanban, and drag things between them.
Rules you can read“If the address contains youtube.com, tag Video and move to Watch.” Predictable filing, previewed before you switch it on.
Page historyKeep your own copy of a page and see a word-by-word history of what changed since you saved it.
Books and PDFs, read properlyEPUBs and PDFs open in boilerpod’s own reader and viewer, searchable inside and highlightable.
Bring your collectionsImport Raindrop’s CSV or HTML export. Nested collections become boards, with tags, notes and covers intact.

Questions
Will my nested collections survive the move?
Yes. Raindrop’s export imports with its nesting, and you see where every collection will land before anything is saved.
Do my tags and notes come across?
Yes, along with descriptions, covers and dates.
Can I import again later without duplicates?
Yes. Importing a newer export brings in only what is new.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Sign up and import your collections.
