Your favorite websites, one tap away — right from your Home Screen. Link Widget puts the sites you open all day into a simple list and a Home Screen widget, so the pages you actually use are always a single tap away. Add a link once, give it a title, and launch it instantly — no digging through bookmarks, no retyping URLs. Features Large Home Screen widget that shows your links as a tappable list One tap opens any link in your default browser Simple two-screen app — a Links list (add, edit, delete, reorder) and Settings Share Extension: send any URL from Safari or another app through the system Share sheet to add it instantly, with an editable title Automatic favicons fetched straight from each site, with a clean letter-tile fallback — and it's optional, so you can turn fetching off Customize the widget: square or circle icons, show or hide a caption, and set the caption to the page Title or the URL Native look that adapts automatically to Light and Dark Mode Works on iPhone, iPad, and Mac Why you'll love it If you open the same handful of sites every day — a work dashboard, internal tools, a news page, a social feed — they don't belong buried in a browser. Pin them to your Home Screen instead and reach them the moment you unlock your device. Set your list up once, reorder it whenever your routine changes, and add new links from anywhere with the Share sheet. It's a small change that quietly removes a dozen taps from your day. Privacy No accounts, no sign-in, no ads, and no tracking. Your links are stored locally on your device, and favicons are fetched directly from the websites you add — there are no third-party analytics services involved.
