Plinky is the easiest way to save links from any device, so you can enjoy them later. READ IT LATER Save articles, recipes, newsletters, videos, social posts, and more to read later — from apps like TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, Etsy, and The New York Times, or from any browser including Safari, Chrome, and Firefox. Plinky keeps everything in one place across your iPhone, iPad, and Mac, so you can stop losing links in notes apps and endless browser tabs. VIEW YOUR SAVED LINKS View all of your saved links on any Apple device, whenever you're ready to come back to them. Search helps you find any link you've saved, and you can even pin links to the top of your home feed for easy access. ORGANIZE YOUR LINKS Use Folders and Tags to organize your links based on common themes. Plinky adapts to how you think, not the other way around. Not sure where to start? Choose from suggested tags including: News, Videos, Recipes, Entertainment, Fitness, Games, Productivity, and more. REMINDERS Never lose track of an important link again. Set a reminder for: • A link you want to show a friend later today. • A recipe to cook tomorrow at 6 p.m. • February 29, 2028, at 12:01 a.m. — because you’re already planning for the next leap day. Your links will resurface when you need them, right in Plinky — no to-do list apps required. CUSTOMIZE PLINKY You can make Plinky yours by customizing how your links, tags, and folders look and feel. Everyone has their preferences and Plinky respects that, you can change how everything looks from colors to design to layout. This makes Plinky *your* tool, whether you want an inbox for your links, a place for links to read later, or your personal archive of the web. WIDGETS Add Plinky's widgets to your Home Screen, Lock Screen, or Control center. All beautiful and fully customizable to view your Recent Links, Pinned Links, or the links from a Folder or Tag — anywhere you want. SHORTCUTS Anything you can do in Plinky you can do in Shortcuts, allowing you to build powerful workflows that use your links saved in Plinky with other apps, or use other apps to save links in Plinky. These work on the iPhone, iPad, and Mac, or from Spotlight and Siri. It’s never been easier to save or find a link no matter where you are or what you’re doing. SAVE LINKS FROM ANYWHERE If Plinky’s share extension on iPhone and iPad, browser extensions, and custom integrations aren’t enough, Plinky also supports an API for developers to save links how they want to save links. And to top it all off, Plinky Mini is available on the Mac App Store.
