Your favorite websites, one tap away β right from your Home Screen. Link Widget puts the sites you open all day into a simple list and a Home Screen widget, so the pages you actually use are always a single tap away. Add a link once, give it a title, and launch it instantly β no digging through bookmarks, no retyping URLs. Features Large Home Screen widget that shows your links as a tappable list One tap opens any link in your default browser Simple two-screen app β a Links list (add, edit, delete, reorder) and Settings Share Extension: send any URL from Safari or another app through the system Share sheet to add it instantly, with an editable title Automatic favicons fetched straight from each site, with a clean letter-tile fallback β and it's optional, so you can turn fetching off Customize the widget: square or circle icons, show or hide a caption, and set the caption to the page Title or the URL Native look that adapts automatically to Light and Dark Mode Works on iPhone, iPad, and Mac Why you'll love it If you open the same handful of sites every day β a work dashboard, internal tools, a news page, a social feed β they don't belong buried in a browser. Pin them to your Home Screen instead and reach them the moment you unlock your device. Set your list up once, reorder it whenever your routine changes, and add new links from anywhere with the Share sheet. It's a small change that quietly removes a dozen taps from your day. Privacy No accounts, no sign-in, no ads, and no tracking. Your links are stored locally on your device, and favicons are fetched directly from the websites you add β there are no third-party analytics services involved.
MDflow Web Clipper

MDflow Web Clipper saves what you find on the web to your MDflow workspace as clean, durable Markdown. Clip a whole article, just the text you selected, or the passages you highlighted. The clipper strips navigation, ads, and page clutter, then converts what remains to Markdown you can read offline and keep for the long term. HIGHLIGHT AS YOU READ Switch on highlighter mode and mark the passages that matter. Your highlights are saved with the clip. TEMPLATES Templates decide how a clip is named, where it is filed, and what it contains. Assign a template to specific sites so an article, a recipe, and a research paper each save the way you want. VARIABLES AND FILTERS Pull page data into your notes with variables such as title, author, published date, description, domain, URL, word count, selection, and highlights. Filters reshape those values before they are written, so dates, lists, and text land in the format you need. PROPERTIES Give every note structured metadata, with types for text, number, checkbox, date, date and time, and lists. OPTIONAL AI INTERPRETER Connect an AI provider with your own API key to summarize a page or pull out specific details as you clip. It stays off until you enable it and add a key. PLAIN MARKDOWN, NO LOCK-IN Every clip is a Markdown file. Nothing is kept in a proprietary format, and your notes stay readable without this extension. Available in 35 languages. Requires an MDflow account.
