Search the Community

This is a workflow for searching and adding bookmarks to Raindrop.io. To search your Raindrop.io bookmarks, open Alfred, type r, space, and then your search query, and the results will show directly in Alfred so that you can select one and press enter to open it in your browser. Raindrop.io collections will also show in the search results together with bookmarks, and you can select them to browse or search their content. Before you have started to type a search query, you also have the option to browse your collections instead of starting with a search. If a web browser is the frontmost app when you open a bookmark from this workflow, it will open in that browser. If you are working in another app, the bookmark will open in your default browser. Hold the cmd-key to view the URL for a bookmark. Hold the option-key while pressing enter, or use cmd+c to copy the URL instead of opening it in a browser. Press enter before you have started typing a search query, and Raindrop.io itself will open in your active web browser. To add a new bookmark to Raindrop.io, first make sure that you have the page you want to add opened in a browser and that it is the frontmost window and then open Alfred, type ra, space, and either type to search for the collection you want to add the new bookmark to or just select one in the list. The Firefox support for adding bookmarks was made possible with the help of deanishe's great workflow Firefox Assistant, which needs to be installed in Alfred for the Firefox support to function. Get it here: https://github.com/deanishe/alfred-firefox Hold the cmd-key while selecting a collection to open Raindrop.io in your active web browser after saving, so you can change details of your new bookmark there. If the workflow is not authenticated with Raindrop.io when you initiate it, you will be taken to the authentication process. Go to the "Search Raindrop.io" workflow in the Alfred preferences and look in the top left corner if you want to add a keyboard shortcuts for going directly to the Raindrop.io search or bookmark adding. One special thing with this workflow is that it detects if the topmost window is a browser window, and then opens the search results in that browser. So, if you are currently working in Firefox, your bookmark will open in a new tab there, and if you are currently working in Safari, or in Chrome, the bookmark will open there instead. If the topmost application is not a browser, the bookmark will be opened in your default browser. This makes this extension perfect for those who use more than one browser. You can always open bookmarks in the exact same way, and still have them displayed in the browser you are currently using. The supported browsers are: Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave, Vivaldi, Opera, Chromium, Chrome Canary, Safari Technology Preview (and SeaMonkey, but only for opening bookmarks) Download at Packal here: https://www.packal.org/workflow/search-raindropio View at GitHub here: https://github.com/westerlind/alfred-raindrop-search Changelog: 1.4.1: Fixed a bug that would make the bookmark adding feature fail in many cases. If that didn't work for you before this, it probably does work now. 1.4: Raindrop.io collections will now also show in the search results together with bookmarks, and you can select them to browse or search their content. Before you have started to type a search query, you also have the option to browse your collections instead of starting with a search. 1.3.1: Fixed a bug that made the collection list not loading under certain conditions. For example the first time you tried to add a bookmark. 1.3: Support for adding new bookmarks to Raindrop.io from the currently active browser. 1.2: Added option to have a keyboard shortcut for direct access to the Raindrop.io search, and added the ability to hold the option key while pressing enter to copy the link instead of opening it in a browser (you could already copy the link with cmd+c before, and that is still possible) 1.1: Implemented a proper authentication mechanism, so that this is now handled in a simple to use way that is initiated directly from the workflow if it senses that you are not authenticated yet. 1.0: Uses Raindrop's new public API to make the search inside Alfred, so that you can open the bookmarks right from Alfred without having to ho through the Raindrop.io website first. 0.9: First version. Could only open the Raindrop.io website to view the results of your query, as Raindrop's public API was not released yet
