NESKTOP, Notion, Raindrop, and browser bookmarks — how they fit together
A practical guide to using NESKTOP alongside Notion, Raindrop.io, and browser bookmarks — each tool has its strengths, and they work well together.
Notion is for documents and databases — NESKTOP is for launching your web tools
Notion excels at long-form documentation, knowledge bases, and structured databases. NESKTOP excels at giving you one-click access to your daily web tools — project dashboards, analytics, communication apps, and cloud consoles. Many users keep their documentation in Notion and place their most-used Notion pages directly on their NESKTOP desktop so everything is reachable from one visual canvas.

Try it freeRaindrop.io is for bookmark collection — NESKTOP is for daily visual workflow
Raindrop is excellent at collecting, tagging, and searching large bookmark libraries — it is built for depth. NESKTOP is built for daily action: arrange your most-used links as visual tiles, group them in folders, add search bars and notes, and save the whole arrangement as a reusable layout. Use Raindrop for your archive and NESKTOP for the links you reach for every day.
Browser bookmarks are your storage layer — NESKTOP is your working surface
Browser bookmarks are reliable, built-in, and sync across devices. They are a great storage layer. NESKTOP adds a visual working surface on top: icons you can see at a glance, folders you can drag and drop, multiple pages for different contexts, and a browser extension that makes saving and syncing seamless. Both tools together give you the best of both worlds.
