## What is Krikalia?

Save a link and it becomes a rich visual card — title, image, site, and tags — instead of a dead URL buried in a list.

Krikalia is a private, account-free bookmark manager. Paste one link or a whole batch at once (Safari's "Copy Links" works exactly like you'd hope — paste it in and every URL becomes its own saved card), share from anywhere via the system share sheet, and let Krikalia do the rest: it fetches each page's title, image, and description automatically and suggests a few tags.

WHAT YOU GET

• Bulk paste — drop in several links at once (newline-separated, space-separated, or buried in other text) and every one gets parsed and saved separately
• Rich cards — real page titles, preview images, and site names instead of raw URLs
• Collections & tags — organize without rigid folders; nest collections, tag freely, search across titles, sites, tags, and your own notes
• Favorites — heart the links you want to find fast
• Reminders — set a "check this again" date on any link and get a notification the day before it's due
• Old Links — a smart view that surfaces anything you haven't opened in over a year
• Notes — jot a thought on any saved link for later-you
• iCloud sync — your library follows you across your devices automatically; works fully offline if you're not signed in
• Share Extension — save from Safari or any app's share sheet in one tap

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

No account, no login, no ads. Everything lives on your device and syncs only through your own iCloud — nothing is sent to us. The only network requests Krikalia makes are fetching a preview for a link you've saved and, if you tap it, opening a link to our companion project, Bjorlunda.

ABOUT BJORLUNDA

Krikalia saves your links. Bjorlunda, a separate project from the same team, is for people who want to go further — reading, summarizing, and connecting everything you've collected into something you can ask questions of. It's entirely optional and never required to use Krikalia.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.1 — 2026-08-25

Introducing Krikalia Plus, a one-time $0.99 unlock, no subscription.

 • Offline Reader. Saved articles are stored as clean, readable text on your device. Read on a plane, choose your type size and serif or sans, and search inside the text of everything you've saved.

 • Link Health. Find links that have quietly died. Dead links get flagged on their cards and gathered in a Broken Links list, with one tap to an archived copy on the Wayback Machine or to clean them out.

Everything else in Krikalia stays free. Plus works across your devices and with Family Sharing.

Also in this update: faster search on large libraries, and fixes for deleting links while they're still loading.

Krikalia 2.0 is a big one.

• Long-press any card: favorite, share, copy, move, archive, delete
• Select multiple links to tag, move, archive, or delete at once
• Nested collections, with custom icons and renaming
• Share sheet now lets you pick a collection, add tags, and a note — and accepts many links at once
