ShareAware

Read full description

ShareAware is a link library you actually use — because saving a link takes one tap from the share sheet, not a trip into another app. Save anything from Safari, Chrome, or any app. ShareAware grabs the title, description, and preview image automatically. Add a note if you want context. Pick a category to keep things tidy. Done. Use it solo to replace your browser bookmarks. Use it with a partner to build a shared movie list, recipe collection, or travel wishlist. Use it with your team to make sure everyone is reading from the same page — literally. YOUR LINK LIBRARY Every link you save shows up in a clean feed with all necessary information. Filter by category, search by keyword, or scroll. Long-press any link to edit, move, or delete it. Like the links you love. Favourite the ones you'll come back to. Save something privately with Read Later — only you can see it, even in a shared group. SAVE FROM ANYWHERE The iOS Share Extension puts ShareAware in your share sheet. One tap from any browser or app — you never have to leave what you're doing. Paste URLs directly in-app if you prefer. GROUPS FOR ANY OCCASION Create a group for anything: a couple's watchlist, a family recipe board, a work team's reading list, a study group's resource library, or even just a read later for yourself. Every group has its own feed, its own categories, and its own members. Admins can invite people by email, manage roles, and customize categories with colors. Members get notified the moment someone shares something new. Belong to multiple groups? Switch between them from the same app. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account passwords. Sign in with a 6-digit code sent to your email or with Apple Sign in — that's it. No analytics SDKs. No third-party tracking of any kind. Your links stay between you and the people you choose to share with. ShareAware works on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
