I kept using Raindrop because it was _not bad_, but it’s not lovable either.\n\nBut today I found something…\n\nSomeone mentioned [GoodLinks](https://goodlinks.app) on a Reddit comment (of course it was Reddit) and after checking their website and a couple of video reviews to make sure I was not throwing my money away, I bit the bullet and bought it (it’s just €10, but I love drama).\n\nThis thing is _exactly_ what I was looking for. It does a few things, very well.\n\nWhat I wanted was:\n\n- a simple inbox to throw things I’d like to read, with optional tagging\n- combined with a nice reader experience with highlighting + notes\n- full text search of all articles\n- and reasonable ways of getting my notes out to a notes app (NotePlan in my case)\n\nThat last point is where most tools failed. But GoodLinks has _great_ support for Shortcuts app. It took me 5 minutes to set up a nice workflow to get my highlights and notes into NotePlan, with zero coding.\n\nThe only negatives: only works on Apple platforms, and it does not have a trial version. Both are things I can live with, and I’m really glad I found this app.\n\nTake a look at it at [goodlinks.app](https://goodlinks.app/)\n\nHope it helps!\n",
