Save any link from any app in one tap. LinkSaver helps you collect articles, videos, recipes, posts, app pages, and anything else you want to find again. SAVE FROM ANYWHERE Use the Share Sheet in Safari, Chrome, YouTube, Reddit, or any app to send a link straight to LinkSaver. Review the URL, title, notes, folder, and tags before saving. You can also opt in to copied-link suggestions and choose when to paste a URL. RICH LINK DETAILS Saved links show useful page metadata so you can recognize them quickly. Reddit links can keep the post title and community context instead of leaving you with an unexplained URL. STAY ORGANIZED Create folders, add tags, and search your collection by title or domain. Use smart source filters for common sites such as Reddit, Apple, Google Play, and social platforms. Mark links read or unread, archive them, and apply bulk actions when your library grows. SIMPLE, PRIVATE STORAGE No account, ads, or third-party link server is required. LinkSaver is designed for local link management and transparent user-controlled exports. MOVE YOUR LINKS Export a browser-readable bookmarks HTML file or a LinkSaver JSON backup for manual transfer to Windows or Linux. Restore a JSON backup when you need to bring your collection back. SHORTCUTS AND WIDGETS Save links and search your library with Apple Shortcuts. Check recent or favorite links with Home Screen widgets. LinkSaver is free to use. Build a link library you can actually find again.

Queue recipe snapshots at your own batch sizes, combine their oil requirements and compare the result with stock on hand. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open Batches, then Workshop. Choose Plan a batch and a saved recipe. 2. Set oil grams per batch and the number of batches, then save the plan. 3. Tap an oil to record current stock. Share the combined oil pick list. 4. Mark a plan complete to remove its demand, or reopen it later. Keep the recipe calculator, fat library, saved recipes, costing tools and poured-batch journal. Workshop snapshots remain stable when a saved recipe is edited. WHAT TO KNOW Workshop covers oils only. Lye, water, fragrance and additives are excluded; calculate and verify each recipe before making soap. Stock is manual and is not deducted automatically. Cure milestones measure elapsed time and do not certify safety. iPhone and iPad.
