You're bad with names. We've got you. You just had a great conversation, and thirty seconds later, their name is gone. Bad With Names is the fastest way to hold onto the people you meet, before the moment slips. Walk away, tap the button, and say what you remember out loud: "Met Maya at the coffee shop, she just started a bakery, has a golden retriever named Tito." That's it. Bad With Names listens, pulls out the details that matter, and hands you a clean memory card to keep: names, the little hooks you'll actually use to remember them, and the place you met. It's not a CRM. There are no forms, no phone-number fields, no spreadsheet energy. It feels like private field notes for your social life: calm, personal, and yours. VOICE-FIRST, EFFORTLESS Speak a messy note and get back something structured. Your voice is transcribed right on your device, so your audio never leaves your phone. REMEMBER WHAT ACTUALLY MATTERS Not contact fields, but the human stuff. The memory hooks, the place you met, the thing they said they'd follow up on. REVIEW BEFORE YOU SAVE Nothing is saved until you approve it. You're always in control of what you keep. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your memories are yours. We're built around keeping your relationships private, not mining them. FIND PEOPLE FAST Search by name, by what you remember, or by where you met. Keep track of the follow-ups you meant to do. Stop apologizing for forgetting names. Start remembering the people worth remembering.

About

LinkLab

Links end up everywhere. A page you meant to read, sitting in a browser tab. A booking confirmation buried in an email. A recipe someone sent you in a group chat. A form your bank told you to fill in later. They are scattered across a dozen apps, and by the time you want one back, you can't remember which app it was in. LinkLab is one place for all of them. Share a link into LinkLab from whatever app you're in, give it a name you'll actually recognise, and it's there when you need it — on your device, offline, in a list you can search. SAVE A LINK FROM ANY APP, IN TWO TAPS Hit Share in Safari, Mail, Messages, or anywhere else a link turns up, pick LinkLab, and the save sheet opens right there. Add a label, drop it in a category, done — no app switching, no copying and pasting a URL into a note you'll lose. FIND IT AGAIN IN SECONDS Everything you save lands in one list, newest first, searchable by name or by URL. Group links into categories you name yourself — Recipes, Work, To Read, Bills, whatever fits — and filter the list down to one of them with a tap. Save the same link twice and LinkLab updates the entry you already have instead of piling up duplicates. A QR CODE FOR ANY LINK Generate a QR code for any saved link with one tap. Share it, or save it to Photos. It's the quickest way to get a link onto someone else's phone — the check-in page, the shared album, the menu — without spelling out a URL or making them type anything. OPEN ANYTHING, NOT JUST WEB PAGES Tap a saved link and LinkLab hands it to whatever app on your device can open it — a web page to your browser, an address to Maps, an email to Mail. It handles custom app links too, the myapp:// kind that Safari won't touch, which makes it a genuinely useful scratchpad if you build or test apps for a living. If nothing on the device can open a link, LinkLab says so plainly instead of doing nothing. RUNS ENTIRELY ON YOUR DEVICE LinkLab has no network code at all. No server, no account, no sign-up, no analytics, no third-party SDK — nothing your links could be sent to, because there is nowhere to send them. QR codes are generated on your device. Photos access is add-only and requested only at the moment you choose to save an image. For anyone whose links are scattered across too many apps, and for the developers and testers who have been using it as a deep link scratchpad since day one.
