Frequently Asked Questions

Is Nemos better than Raindrop.io?+
For bookmark management specifically, Raindrop has more mature features like nested collections and multi-browser extensions. But Nemos 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; Nemos is a full personal library.
Can Nemos replace Raindrop.io?+
For Apple users, yes. Nemos 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 Nemos have a web clipper like Raindrop?+
Yes, Nemos 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 Nemos 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). Nemos is free with unlimited saves and free full-text search across all content types — not just bookmarks.
Does Nemos organize bookmarks automatically?+
Yes. When you save a link in Nemos, 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. Nemos turns 'save and sort' into just 'save.'
