Stop pasting links into your notes and forgetting them. LinkGraph saves the link to any article, video, recipe or post from any app, with its title and thumbnail, and turns everything you save into a visual map of your ideas. SAVE FROM ANYWHERE • Share a link from Safari or any app, or paste it: the title, description and thumbnail fill in automatically. • Save now, organize later: everything lands in your Inbox until you're ready. • Save screenshots too. Their text is recognized on your device, so you can search them later. FIND IT AGAIN • Universal search across titles, links, notes, tags and the text inside your screenshots. • Color tags and @mentions to add context and link ideas together. • Rediscover brings back older saves you may have forgotten, every day. SEE HOW YOUR IDEAS CONNECT • An interactive map groups your links by topic. Zoom, pan and tap any node to see its connections. • On-device suggestions show related links you might have missed, with the reason why. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account needed. Your collection stays on your iPhone. • Home screen widget, plus light, dark and black themes. LinkGraph saves links and their previews; it does not download videos or other content. TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and other names are trademarks of their respective owners; LinkGraph is not affiliated with or endorsed by them.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Lucid at none against LinkGraph's 1. Lucid also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
