Link HUB Lock Screen Widgets

October 17, 2022

Thank you so much for welcoming Link HUB 2 with such amazing warmth, and special thanks to the team at MacStories for featuring the app and helping thousands of people discovering the power of links with Link HUB! This update adds the ability to share QR codes of your URLs: tap and hold on a link and select "Share QR code" to generate a 300x300 image and share it. There are also a couple new keyboard shortcuts: CMD+S saves the link you're editing or adding, and Esc cancels. In previous versions you could already add links with CMD+N, open additional dashboards with CMD+ALT+N and navigate your collection of links with the arrow keys, launching them by hitting the Spacebar, but now the interaction is even quicker with the new key combinations. Thanks again to Jay for the great ideas! If you enjoy using Link HUB, a 5 star review would mean the world to me and to other Users searching for the perfect Lock screen app... Ciao e grazie! –Cesare

Thank you so much for welcoming Link HUB 2 with such amazing warmth, and special thanks to the team at MacStories for featuring the app and helping thousands of people discovering the power of links with Link HUB! Version 2.1 is here, implementing a couple of feature-requests (thanks Jay!): you can now long-press a link (on iOS and iPadOS) or right-click (on macOS) to copy the URL to the pasteboard or share it with the system Share Sheet. If you enjoy using Link HUB, a 5 star review would mean the world to me and to other Users searching for the perfect Lock screen app... Ciao e grazie! –Cesare

Link HUB 2 is here with Lock Screen Widgets for iOS 16, to let you unlock a level of speed and productivity unimaginable before! Just a few examples of what you can do directly from your iPhone’s lock screen with Link HUB’s superpowers: - Launch automations from Shortcuts… basically Link HUB is the shortcut to your Shortcuts’ shortcuts ;) - Start a FaceTime call to your special someone - Jump directly into a conversation in Messages - Open any app you want, and in some of them – with the right URL – navigate to specific sections - Open any website With lock-screen widgets, the apps and Shortcuts you rely upon the most are only one tap away, in any moment; and all formats of lock-screen widgets are supported, so you can customize your iPhone to serve exactly your needs! But widgets aren't only on your lock-screen... you can now add as many super-high density widgets as you like on your home screens! While the small widget is a big convenient button for just one link, a medium widget can contain up to 8 links, a large one 16 and the extra-large widget on iPads makes 32 links available to you... that's double of what most alternatives offer! This version also includes a redesigned, clean and easy to use screen to add and edit links, the ability to select custom icons for every link, and improved speed and reliability. I hope you'll love Link HUB 2.0! If you do, please take the time to leave a 5 star review (it helps a lot indie developers like myself!), recommend the app to a friend and consider subscribing to Link HUB Pro, to keep great updates like this one coming!

Link HUB 1.5 is ready for iOS 14 and iPadOS 14, but there's more: Link HUB now works on macOS too! Download Link HUB on the Mac App Store for free and your links will automatically sync between all your devices, via iCloud; you can also edit specific links to only appear on your Mac, your iPhone, your iPad or even on all your mobile devices but not on the Mac. Oh, and if you're a Link HUB Pro User on iOS - and you should - you're already a Pro on the Mac too! I'm very happy that Link HUB is now on all your devices, and I hope you'll love it; if you do, please tell your friends and give it 5 stars in the App Store, it helps so much Indie developers like myself! Ciao! -Cesare

This is the biggest update to Link HUB yet, and actually the feature the app was built for from the beginning: you can now use NFC tags to trigger the launch of URLs you saved in Link HUB. This enables all kinds of automations: Link HUB can write cheap NFC tags for you, to associate them to specific links (one for sending an SMS, another to trigger a Shortcut automation, and so on...).  After Link HUB writes a tag with the specific informations it needs to recognise it later (and this procedure is very easy and completely automatic!), scanning it from inside the app will immediately launch the link; even better, tag reading even works when the app is not running, if your iPhone supports background NFC reading: for the latest iPhone models you'll receive a notification and, as soon as you'll tap it, your link will be immediately launched. NFC tag support is a really cool feature, implemented for the easiest and fastest usage possible, and requires the inexpensive Link HUB Pro subscription (and, obviously, some writable NFC tags). Please read the Frequently Asked Questions inside the app's Settings: I provide some human-understandable and not-too-nerdy informations to get you started with NFC... I really hope you'll love using NFC tags as much as I do! Please, don't hesitate to contact me at support@cdf1982.com and, if you like the app, please subscribe and leave a 5 star review!

You can now manually reorder Links instead of keeping them in strict alphabetical order: long-tap a Link and move it around to rearrange the cells to your preference. If you like Link HUB, please consider supporting its development with a subscription and a 5 star review, and don't hesitate getting in touch at support@cdf1982.com if you need anything. -Cesare

By default, Link HUB launches Safari when you tap a website link, but now you can optionally set a preference to show http and https links inside an in-app browser. Thank you for the suggestion, Matt! If you like the app, please consider supporting its development with a subscription and a 5 star review, and don't hesitate getting in touch at support@cdf1982.com if you need anything. -Cesare

Thank you for the warm welcome you reserved to Link HUB! This version fixes a minor bug and an embarrassing typo (that feeling when your launch screen, literally the first thing you show the world, has a typing error in it...) and introduces the ability to duplicate Links from the menu that appears when you long-tap on a link. Some Users experienced difficulties activating the subscription for version 1.0 due, most likely, to propagation delays. Now everything should work properly, but please let me know if you have issues with this at support@cdf1982.com. Ciao! -Cesare
