Description of Linky

Linky lets you easily share webpage links, images and text extracts to Mastodon and Bluesky from your iPhone and iPad. Write your post, choose which preferred social networks and Linky will do the rest! You can connect Linky to Mastodon and Bluesky. Linky's very own iOS Share Extension allows you to post messages without ever leaving third-party applications. Want to share a webpage Link? Linky can insert both the url and the title of the webpage as required. Linky will suggest images related to shared links and can attach them to your messages. It can also shorten links, giving you access to further link analytics. How about selected text in Safari? Linky's Web Clipper extracts selected text and carries it over to the composer sheet, ready for you to edit. You can also make a text shot from the text selection for sharing as a beautiful image.

Write or draw on the attachment, or add arrows and lenses, or obscure sensitive information. "Linky 5.0 removes friction from sharing links, quotes, and images. I appreciate the intelligent use of Open Graph and Media Cards to save even more time, and I'm a fan of the deeper controls Linky brings when compared to the default share sheet.

Reviews of Linky

Leave a Review Linky
  • Still the best way to share

    Linky had to remove Twitter support, but that’s Twitter’s fault, not Linky’s. It’s still my favorite way to quickly share text and pictures to Mastodon!
  • Favorite ‘Posting’ App

    This App makes it so easy to post content on Mastodon and other social media sites. It is a real Godsend! I use it as intended on Mastodon and also do a ‘copy and paste’ for text messaging and other functions. Glad to see developers continuing to support this favored App!
  • Supports alt text!

    Update: As of Dec 2022, now supports alt text for both Mastodon and Twitter, thank you!
