Dewey solves a narrow problem well (saving social-media bookmarks across X, Bluesky, LinkedIn, and others). If your saving habit is broader than that, or you need mobile apps or an open API, here are the options.
Dewey is deliberately narrow. People look elsewhere when they want to save more than social posts, when they need a mobile app, or when they want a real public API for scripting.
Raindrop is the broader bookmark manager with a polished UI and MCP server. Keep is the other tool that handles X bookmarks natively and extends to everything else you'd want to save. Ordered by best match. Keep shows up where it ranks, we don't push it up the list.
Save anything from the web and get it back as markdown for AI agents or a simple reading feed.

Dewey is a niche tool aimed at one specific problem: saving and organising bookmarks from social platforms. It ingests from X, Bluesky, LinkedIn, Threads, TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, Mastodon, Substack, and Truth Social, and puts them in a unified library with AI auto-tagging and nested folders. Browser extension (Chrome) and web app only, no native mobile. Pricing: Free (manual sync, one account), Pro at $10/mo monthly or $7.50/mo annually, Lifetime at $225, and an $8.50 one-off 'Export Pass' that unlocks the export feature for 48 hours without a full subscription.
Possibly. Dewey and Keep are the two active tools that sync X bookmarks natively. Dewey is narrower (social-only, no reader view) but has a dedicated UI for the workflow. Pro is $7.50/mo annually or $10/mo monthly, with a $225 lifetime option.
No. Dewey is web + Chrome extension only. If mobile access is important, that's a material limitation.
Yes, but exporting requires Pro, or a one-time $50 'Export Pass' that enables exports for 48 hours. Formats include CSV, PDF, and Google Sheets.
Keep. It's the only other tool in the catalog that syncs X bookmarks automatically. Most alternatives can save tweets manually via the browser extension, but none sync your bookmark list as a source.
Dewey's own free tier (manual sync, one account) works for limited use. Raindrop Free is free forever but doesn't auto-sync from X. Keep's free tier is 50 items lifetime.
Raindrop leads the category on nested collections, tags, and public folders. It's the best pick if your bookmarks need real structure.
Most alternatives handle Threads and Bluesky via the browser extension as individual saves. For automated sync across social platforms, Dewey is the most mature option.
Readwise Reader, Raindrop, Instapaper, and Keep all have public APIs. Dewey doesn't. If you want to script against your library, pick one of these.
Raindrop, Readwise Reader, Matter, and Keep all save articles alongside social content. Dewey focuses only on social posts. If your saving habit is mixed, pick a broader tool.
Yes, Raindrop has an official MCP server, and Keep ships one from day one. Neither Dewey nor the other active alternatives have an MCP server yet.
Only if you need one-time access. $50 for 48 hours is expensive compared to Raindrop Pro ($3/mo lets you export anytime). If you plan to keep using Dewey, the Pro subscription is better value.
