## What is LinkCue?

LinkCue — A project workspace with an AI research assistant that brings your research, ideas, planning, and progress into one place

We save things with good intentions — but they end up scattered and hard to act on. LinkCue brings everything into one place: capture, organize, and turn it into real progress with an AI assistant that makes sense of it all.

Capture: Collect what matters
• Save articles, links, bookmarks, and research
• Capture ideas the moment they come to you
• Speak your thoughts and turn them into notes
• Attach files — images, PDFs, Word docs, text, markdown, CSV, spreadsheets, and captions — processed just like a saved link
• Drop in audio recordings — podcasts, voice memos, meetings — and get a diarized transcript plus a listenable AI summary
• Works in the browser too — PDFs, images, audio, and spreadsheets on Chrome, Safari, and Firefox

Distill: Make sense of what you collect
• Get simple summaries of long articles
• Listen to content as short audio briefings
• Refine notes with AI — summarize, expand, simplify, and more
• Edit any AI summary inline and switch between versions any time
• Regenerate in a different style — short, key points, or a custom prompt — and refresh the audio in one tap
• Tap any transcript line to jump to that moment — playback auto-highlights and scrolls with you
• Spreadsheets render as clean tables inside the record, with synthesis modes tuned to tabular data
• Pick your transcription engine in Settings → AI & Intelligence

Research: Chat with your knowledge
• Ask questions and get AI answers with citations linking back to your library
• Search the web without leaving the app
• Browse your Knowledge Map — concepts and topics extracted from your content
• Choose your AI model from the chat toolbar
• Tap the sparkle icon on any record to start a scoped Knowledge Agent chat instantly

Think Visually: Map out ideas and connections
• Build mind maps from scratch or import your saved records
• Connect ideas, add notes, and rearrange freely
• Auto-layout organizes complex webs instantly; export to Markdown and sync across devices in real time
• Share a mind map via a public, view-only link — revoke any time
• Rebuilt: smart edge routing, undo/redo, group multi-select, and reliable cross-device sync

Organize: Build a system that fits how you think
• Group with labels; create projects and folders for any goal
• Navigate with breadcrumbs — always know where you are
• Choose how uploaded files are stored: keep, auto-delete after processing, or never store

Act: Move from planning to doing
• Turn notes into tasks and see plans on a calendar
• Track progress with a consistent 5-stage Kanban across all your devices
• Link records to GitHub issues and keep them in sync

Built for real projects
• Planning a life event or side project
• Managing research and long-term goals
• Developers tracking work across GitHub and notes

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.4 — 2026-05-06

**New: Snap a photo, get a summary**
Tap the camera icon in +New to photograph anything — a receipt, a whiteboard, a page of notes — and LinkCue turns it into a summary + audio brief. Attaching an image from your library works the same way.

**New: Scanned PDFs work now**
PDFs that are just scanned images (no selectable text) are read by AI and summarized automatically, the same way a regular document is.

**New: Share from anywhere**
Share a file from any app — Safari, Files, Mail, Drive, Photos — straight into LinkCue. Works for PDFs, Word docs, text, markdown, and images. On Mac you can also drag files onto the +New tab.

**New: Choose your vision AI**
Settings → AI & Intelligence → Vision Model. Pick Google Gemini for speed (default) or Anthropic Claude for higher accuracy. Available on every plan.

**Improved: Integrations toggle**
A master toggle in Settings now hides Linked Issues and other optional integrations so the UI stays focused on what you use.

**Reliability**
- Uploads that fail during a bad network now retry with longer spacing and pick back up automatically when you relaunch the app.
- Quicker cold-start when a share intent fires before the app finishes loading.
- Cross-device sync for AI and media settings is faster and more reliable.

**Fixes**
- Firefox iOS share: the URL is captured correctly even when the browser sends a page title first.
- Summary empty-state no longer flashes momentarily after generation.
- Media audio spinner now persists correctly when switching screens mid-job.
- Article detail Calendar section respects the per-user automation toggle.

### 1.1.1 — 2026-03-24

New: Mind Maps
Visualize your ideas and records as a connected map. Create a new mind map from the `+ New` button, add nodes by tapping the canvas, draw edges to connect them, and import any of your existing library records as linked nodes — so your research and reading stay connected to your thinking. Mind maps sync across all your devices in real time.

Improved: Projects & Workspace
Project locking now asks for confirmation before applying, so accidental locks are a thing of the past. Locked projects grey out the filter panel to make their state immediately obvious.

Improved: Settings
Settings has been reorganized into clean collapsible sections so the option you need is always easy to find. A theme toggle is now available directly in the Settings toolbar — no digging required. Background Image is now its own toggle inside Visual Settings, and the former "Kanban" layout option has been renamed "Progress Stages" for clarity.

Improved: Compare Plans
The Compare Plans table has been updated with clearer feature descriptions and refreshed copy to better reflect what each plan includes.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-03-18

**New: Navigation Lock**
Working inside a project? Tap the lock icon in the breadcrumb bar to pin your context. Navigate to Inbox, Starred, or Archive without losing your place. Tap again to release.

**Fixes**
- Folder placements now sync reliably across all your devices. Records stay where you put them.
- Label assignments sync correctly cross-device.
- Records created inside a folder are automatically placed there on all signed-in devices.

### 1.0.0 — 2026-03-18

New: Projects & Folders
Organize your records with Projects and Folders directly inside LinkCue. Create projects from the sidebar, nest folders up to two levels deep, and keep reading, ideas, and tasks neatly structured — your library, your way.

New: GitHub Integration
Connect your GitHub account to link or create issues directly from any record card. When an issue updates on GitHub, LinkCue automatically syncs the status. (Available in Settings → Integrations.)

Improved: Calendar
Today’s column now stands out with a clear blue highlight, making it easier to stay oriented in your schedule.

Improved: Sidebar
The sidebar is cleaner and easier to scan. Projects and Labels are now clearly separated, and the search bar shows a red border when filters are active.

### 0.9.13 — 2026-03-14

Linkcue v0.9.13 What’s New

New: Calendar
- Plan visually with the new Calendar view inside LinkCue.
- Switch between Day, 5 Days, and Week views, jump to Today, and move faster with the new month panel and swipe navigation.
- Drag and drop cards to reschedule instantly, with smoother editing for start dates, end dates, and due dates.
- Send scheduled items to Apple Calendar or Google Calendar, review outside changes before importing them, bulk resync linked items, or use ICS export for simple sharing.
- Calendar sync uses LinkCue-created linked events, so the items you send stay easier to manage and keep in sync.

Improved: Labels
- Drag and drop labels directly onto records for faster organization.
- Filter custom labels with AND / OR logic to match the way you actually sort projects, topics, and tasks.

Improved: Kanban View
- Show record numbers on cards.
- Toggle label visibility.
- Toggle progress bar visibility.

Improved: Voice Input
- Improved Apple voice input with native STT v2 follow-up fixes for steadier live transcripts during pauses, transcript resets, and punctuation updates.
- On Apple devices, LinkCue uses Apple native speech recognition.

Views & Polish
- Adjust view settings directly from Library, Kanban, and Calendar without breaking your flow.
- Enjoy tighter layouts, clearer drag feedback, and smoother planning interactions across the app.
- Desktop users also get smoother horizontal scrolling in the label bar for faster browsing.
