A lightweight start page that displays your Raindrop.io favorites in a clean grid, fast to open and easy to use. This is not a Raindrop clone, it’s a focused homepage dashboard.
- Better favicon fetching: Vemetric Favicon API by default, Google as fallback
- New algorithm to auto-pick an icon background color based on the favicon
- Refined icon style inside cards for a more cohesive look
- Removed the previous 50 favorites limit
Browser bookmark sync is often annoying, especially across mixed ecosystems.
With Raindrop Homepage, you only need:
- A Raindrop account
- A test token
- One URL set as your start page (or new tab)
- Usage-based sorting, your most opened favorites rise to the top
- Two views:
- Favicon view (compact, fast scanning)
- Cover view (more visual, uses Raindrop covers)
- No backend server, everything runs in your browser
Public instance:
https://virgile-fr.github.io/Raindrop-HomePage/
You have two options:
Append your token at the end of the URL:
https://virgile-fr.github.io/Raindrop-HomePage/YOUR_TEST_TOKEN
The app will read it and store it in localStorage.
⚠️ Do not share that URL: the token will be visible in the address bar, history, and logs.
If no token is found, the page prompts you to paste it. It’s then stored in localStorage for that browser.
⚠️ If you clear your browser data, you’ll be asked again for the token.
- Log in to Raindrop.io
- Open:
https://app.raindrop.io/settings/integrations - Click + Create a new app
- Name it (anything) and accept the terms
- Open your new app
- Click Create test token
- Copy it, then use Option A or Option B above
- Start page: set the URL in your browser homepage settings
- New tab (Chromium browsers): use a “new tab redirect” extension, then point it to your Raindrop Homepage URL Example extension: New Tab Redirect : https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/icpgjfneehieebagbmdbhnlpiopdcmna?utm_source=item-share-cb (or any equivalent)
iOS Safari cannot set a custom homepage the same way as desktop browsers. Best workaround:
- Open the page in Safari
- Share button → Add to Home Screen
- Launch it from the home screen icon for an app-like experience
- The token is used only in your browser to call the Raindrop API
- Stored locally in
localStorage, never on a remote server - If you use the URL method, treat it like a password
- Clone the repo
- Deploy as static files (GitHub Pages, Netlify, Vercel, etc.)
- Optionally set a token in
token.jsif you prefer not to use URL or prompt
- This project is an unofficial tool built on top of the Raindrop.io API
- Not affiliated with or endorsed by Raindrop.io
