Read full description

Linkeeper keeps the links you save — articles, videos, recipes, posts — in one tidy library where you can find them again. SAVE FROM ANY APP • Tap Share in Safari, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Threads or any other app and pick Linkeeper — or paste a link inside the app. • The title, preview image and creator are filled in for you, and each link is tagged by platform and hashtag automatically. READ LATER, YOUR WAY • A Read Later list for everything you haven't opened yet, with a daily reminder you can move or turn off. • Reader view with light, sepia and dark themes, adjustable text size and a serif font. • Listen: have an article read aloud. • Highlight passages, add a note to each, and find them all in one Highlights list. • Rediscover today: one link you saved and never read comes back each day. ORGANIZE • Collections, tags, favorites and archive — swipe to sort. • Search titles, notes, tags and the text of saved articles. • A Home Screen widget. BRING YOUR SAVES WITH YOU • Import from TikTok (liked videos), Instagram (saved posts and collections), a Pocket export and browser bookmark files. Files are read on your device, not uploaded. Preview first, duplicates are skipped, folders become tags — and you can undo. • Back up and restore your library as a JSON file. PRIVATE WHEN YOU NEED IT • A hidden vault for private links, locked with a passcode and Face ID. • Your library is stored on your device and works offline. An account is optional — it is only needed to sync between devices. LINKEEPER UNLIMITED Saving links is always unlimited, with tags, search, the reader and Rediscover included. Linkeeper Unlimited is a one-time purchase, not a subscription: unlimited imports, collections and hidden-vault links, plus sync across your devices. When you reach a free limit you can also choose to watch a short ad to unlock a little more. There are no other ads, and Unlimited has none.
