Linkable is the simplest way to save and revisit links on your iPhone. Whenever you spot something worth reading, share it to Linkable in one tap, and it'll be waiting for you, neatly organized and searchable, whenever you're ready. Linkable is 100% free with no ads and no data collection. SAVE FROM ANYWHERE The built-in Share Extension lets you send any URL from Safari or any other app directly into Linkable โ€” no copy-pasting required. ORGANIZE WITH TAGS Create color-coded tags to keep your links sorted exactly the way you think. Filter your list by one or more tags with a single tap, and flip between "All" and any combination instantly. READ YOUR WAY Every link opens in three modes you can switch between on the fly: Web View โ€” the full live page, just like Safari. Reader Mode โ€” strips away clutter and reformats the article as clean, distraction-free text. Offline Archive โ€” save a snapshot of any page to read later, even when you're offline. POWERFUL SEARCH & SORT Full-text search across all your saved links. Sort by newest or oldest, and filter by estimated reading time so you always know what you can finish in the time you have. IMPORT YOUR LIBRARY Easily import your existing reading lists from Pocket or Instapaper to bring all your links into one private, local home. SPOTLIGHT INTEGRATION Your saved links surface right in iOS Spotlight search, so you can jump straight to any saved page without even opening the app. PRIVACY-FIRST No accounts. No trackers. No data collection. Linkable stores everything locally on your device. What you save is your business. Whether you're building a reading list, collecting research, or just saving things to come back to later, Linkable keeps them all in one place and out of your way until you need them.
