About

LinkLens

Features
Read full description

LinkLens turns any article link into a concise AI summary. Just share a URL from Safari, Chrome, or your favorite news app โ€” no copy and paste, no switching back and forth. Articles pile up in your "read later" list. Some are too long to even start. With LinkLens, you get the key points before you read, so you never waste your limited time. FEATURES - Share to summarize: pick LinkLens from the share sheet and get the key points in seconds. - Three AI engines, works on your device: choose the AI that fits you. Apple Intelligence runs entirely on-device and never sends your articles or URLs anywhere. LinkLens AI needs only an Apple ID sign-in โ€” no API key โ€” and works even without Apple Intelligence. Or bring your own AI (BYOK) with an OpenAI-compatible API and key. - LinkLens AI, credit-based with no monthly fee: sign in and start right away, and buy credit packs only as you need them. No subscription โ€” you pay only for what you use. - Automatic history: every summarized article is saved. Mark favorites to find important ones fast, or re-summarize anytime. - Choose the output language: follow your system language or pick another one โ€” great for getting the gist of foreign-language articles in your own language. REQUIREMENTS - iOS 26 or later - Summarizing with Apple Intelligence requires a supported iPhone or iPad with Apple Intelligence enabled in Settings - LinkLens AI and your own AI (BYOK) also work on devices that don't support Apple Intelligence Terms of Use - https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy - https://rainbow-of-apps.web.app/privacy_policy
