The Official Linxy App® From Linxy Media, creators of Linxy Marks™ and LinxyFrame®. Everything in the Linxy App runs on Linxy Fusion™ (patent pending): your iPhone vouches for you. A glance or a tap proves it's really you, and your details stay with you. LINXYPASS™ Passwordless sign-in for websites that offer LinxyPass: tap to sign in and approve with Face ID or Touch ID, or with one tap on your Apple Watch or home screen. No passwords to store or remember, no forms to fill. Safe and private. LINXY MARKS AND LINXY TAGS™ Linxy Marks are invisible codes inside printed photos, art, packaging and signs that make them scannable with the Linxy App. Linxy Tags are pre-marked labels you assign content to; do the same with NFC tags right in the app. Videos, messages, offers and files open instantly, inside the Linxy App. - Create Linxy Marks, Linxy Tags and NFC tags right from your iPhone. Advanced opens the full Linxy web platform, signed in automatically, where Linxy IQ™ codes are made. - Secure tags and Marks open only for the people you choose, confirmed by face or fingerprint. - Change where any of them leads, anytime. DYNAMIC LINKS Dynamic Links (short links) behind every touchpoint decide what each scan shows: content in rotation, in sequence, by date, by place (geofenced content opens only where it's meant to be seen), by language or device, or personalized to one recipient. SECURE UPLOAD Collect photos, documents and video from anyone with a private link; they need no account. Files are scanned before you see them, arrive in the Linxy App as they land, and any one can be shared on with its own short link. LINXYFRAME AND SCANNABLE ART AND PHOTOS Create photos and art that play video, music, messages and more when scanned, and change what a print shows anytime without reprinting. LinxyFrame, a modular display system, shows content with a tap or scan. CONNECTIONS AND COMMUNITY Connect to community happenings, occasions and invitations by scanning or tapping: - Private messaging, photos, files, voice and video calls, with call history. - Choose exactly what each Connection sees. - Communities with posts, comments and a shared album. Guests pick photos, request prints, and Linxy Print Station prints them automatically at the event. LINXY EVENTS™ Attendees can connect with the event, its sponsors and each other. - Connect with a scan or a tap. Share professional and social interests with tags and interest-specific posts. - A feed for checked-in attendees, with posts by interest. - A shared photo album with automated Print Station printing for commercial venues. - Discover events near you and watch host videos. - Smart Tickets & Passes: Linxy-marked tickets that work before, during and after the event. Your ticket opens event access and selected content and keeps you connected to the organizer. Transfer a ticket with a tap. - No QR codes needed. Signs, event print, floor graphics, tickets, party favors, labels and more connect through Linxy, in real time. INVITATIONS AND OCCASIONS Weddings, reunions, celebrations of life and more. Open a designed invitation with the host's video and RSVP in the Linxy App. Replying brings you into the occasion's community and shared album. Organizers create the occasion, design the invitation, manage guests and message them, all from their iPhone. LINXY GATE Q™ For event organizers and staff: Linxy Gate Q (short for Gate Queue) checks Linxy-powered tickets at the door. Access Granted or Access Denied with the reason, one result per ticket, an iPad console, and offline scanning that syncs when you're back online. ALSO - Optimized for iPad. - Linxy App Clip: scan a Linxy Mark without installing the full app. - Recovery Marks get you back into your account if your iPhone is lost. - Linxy Help Center built in.
