WebPDF makes it easy to save webpages as PDFs you can keep, organize, and share. Browse to any page and save it as a PDF, or use the Share Sheet from Safari and other apps to send a webpage to WebPDF. Choose a full-page capture or a reader-friendly version, then adjust paper size, orientation, margins, and background before saving. Your saved PDFs stay in one simple library. Search by title or the text inside a PDF, switch between list and thumbnail views, sort your documents, and organize them into folders. Rename, share, merge, or delete PDFs whenever you need to. WebPDF also includes bookmarks, browsing history, find-in-page, and an option to open the current page in Safari. Everything is designed to help you keep useful webpages as durable, shareable documents.
Link Widget

Your favorite websites, one tap away — 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 — 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 — 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 — 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 — a work dashboard, internal tools, a news page, a social feed — 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 — there are no third-party analytics services involved.

Verdict
WebPDF and Link Widget are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters — price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
