Use tool ↗About Stacks
Stacks pulls notes, bookmarks, links and files into one searchable workspace, pitched as replacing the split between Drive, Notion, Pocket, Raindrop, Apple Notes and browser bookmarks. Search works on meaning rather than exact filenames, and it surfaces connections between things saved months apart. It runs as a web workspace with a Chrome extension for clipping and iOS and Android apps for capture on the move. The vendor is BetterStacks India Pvt Ltd. Plans start at $9 a month, or $89 a year, for one user and 50GB; the $29 tier adds unlimited users and shared workspaces; $39 adds premium collections and branded search. Every plan carries a 30-day refund window.

Pros & cons of Stacks
The pitch is consolidation, and it is aimed at the real problem: the thing you saved is in one of six apps and you cannot remember which. Capture surfaces are covered properly — Chrome extension, iOS, Android, web — which is where most second-brain tools fall down. What you are betting on is the search actually finding things, and there is no free tier to test that with, only a refund window.
Pros
- Notes, bookmarks, links and files in one index rather than four tools
- Capture from Chrome extension, iOS, Android and web
- Shared workspaces with unlimited users from the $29 tier
- 30-day money-back guarantee on every plan
- Named Indian legal entity behind it
Cons
- No free tier — the cheapest way in is $9 a month or a refund request
- No public API, so getting data out programmatically is unclear
- Storage caps of 50GB and 500GB matter if you file large documents
- Search quality is the whole product and cannot be judged before paying
Best for
- Researchers and writers whose sources are scattered across apps
- Teams wanting shared collections of links and files
- People who clip constantly from the browser and from mobile
Not for
- Anyone needing an API or programmatic export
- Users unwilling to migrate off an existing notes app
Watch out: There is no free plan; the only risk-free evaluation is buying and using the 30-day refund window.
