What's New in Linky

6.4.5

October 14, 2025

• Reduce message length for Bluesky by replacing long URLs with compact ones — just like the official Bluesky app does. • Privacy has been improved by no longer relying on Firebase/Crashlytics for anonymous feature analytics and crash reporting. Anonymous crash reports are now handled through iOS’s built-in mechanism (user opt-in), and feature analytics has been completely removed. • The app, which was already lightweight, has been further reduced in size by 32%, going from 12.5 MB to 8.5 MB.

Indispensable pour Mastodon

Dommage de ne pas avoir une comptabilité avec macOS et c’est mon unique remarque !!!!!

Une application qui peut même servir pour poster régulièrement sur Mastodon (ou Bluesky) si l’on est peu enclin à passer sa vie sur ce réseau mais si l’on a pour habitude de partager des infos.
Et sur ce plan, Linky est remarquable.

IT KEEPS ME OFF THE DOPAMINE SLOT MACHINES OF OUTRAGE!

I don’t have to open a single social media app just to post anymore. This app is worth far more than it costs.

For me, staying off social media is non-negotiable, but I still wanted a way to share interests and updates without stepping back into the outrage echo chamber even once!

Indispensable tool

Good for cross-posting, but also for sharing links to a single destination. The text shot feature generates alt text too.
