Save from anywhere
Share sheet, paste, or the + button. The title, favicon and preview image are fetched for you, and the whole article is pulled down and kept — ads and trackers stripped out.
Local-first link manager Every link you save,
Every link you save,
in one calm place.
LinkWell keeps the links you actually care about — saved in a tap, the whole article pulled down and kept, and found again in an instant. It lives on your phone, works without a signal, and never watches what you read.
- Free to start
- No sign-up
- No trackers on what you save

0 accounts required Guest mode is forever, not a trial
Your links are scattered — across browsers, notes, chats and half a dozen bookmark bars you stopped opening. LinkWell gathers them into one fast, private vault you actually come back to. No feed, no algorithm, and no startup that pivots and takes your library with it.
What it does
Small app. Does the whole job.
Everything below works on the free tier, on one device, with no account — because a link manager that needs a server is a link manager that can be switched off.
Instant full-text search
Titles, notes, URLs, tags — and the article text itself. Results appear as you type, across thousands of links, with no signal needed.
Folders & tags
Nested, colour-coded folders and tags. Links from the big social sites file themselves. One folder can be locked behind Face ID.
A reader with real pages
Pages you turn instead of one endless scroll. Pinch to set the text size and it stays. Highlight passages, have any article read aloud, and open PDFs and EPUBs in the same place.
It tidies itself
A broken-link sweep, a duplicate finder, reading-time estimates, and a weekly nudge about the things you never got to.
Sync across devices Pro
Links, folders, tags, highlights and your place in every article, kept in step. Optional, off until you switch it on, and part of the subscription.

A look inside
Four screens you will actually live in.
- 01
The vault
Everything you saved, in whichever of the nine layouts suits you — dense rows when you are scanning, a magazine when you are browsing. Unread is a filter, not a badge you can never clear.
- 02
Search that reads the article
Full-text search runs on the device, over the body of every page you saved — not just the titles. Remember a phrase but not where it came from, and it still surfaces in a few milliseconds.
- 03
A reader, not a web view
Real pages you turn. Pinch the text size and it stays that way. Highlight a passage, have the whole thing read aloud in a voice your phone already has, and come back to the paragraph you left.
- 04
Housekeeping that does itself
A broken-link sweep finds the pages that have rotted. A duplicate finder groups the same article saved three times and archives the spares. And a weekly catch-up nudges you about what you never got to.
How it works
Three seconds to save. Two words to find.
- 01
Save it
Hit share in any app, or paste a URL. LinkWell fetches the title, icon and preview, then gets out of your way.
- 02
Let it file itself
Social links land in auto-folders. Everything else takes a folder, a tag or nothing at all — search will find it either way.
- 03
Find it again
Type two words. Full-text search reads titles, notes, URLs, tags and article text, and answers while you are still typing.
Honest privacy Private by design,
Private by design,
not by promise.
Your vault is a database on your phone. Without sync switched on, the links you save never reach us — there is no server holding them, so there is nothing for us to read, lose or sell. Turn sync on and we store only what is needed to rebuild that vault on your other device.
We are not going to claim we collect nothing at all, because that would be untrue: the free tier shows a banner ad, and the app reports coarse, anonymous usage so we know which features anyone actually uses. Both are described plainly, and both can be switched off.
Read the privacy policy- Local-first. Your links live on your device, not in our cloud, unless you turn on sync.
- We never read your links. No analytics event, ever, carries a URL, a title, a note or a tag.
- Analytics and crash reports are opt-out. Two switches in Settings, and they stop.
- Ads pay for the free tier. A single banner, no ads at all once you upgrade.
- Your export is yours. Take everything out to a file whenever you like. No lock-in.
Plans
Start free. Go Pro when it earns it.
Pro is the one to pick. It costs a fraction of Lifetime, it is the only plan that syncs your vault between devices, and it starts with a free trial. Lifetime is still there if you would rather pay once and keep everything on a single phone — we just would not steer you to it.
Free
Everything on-device
The whole app on one device — saving, folders, tags, full-text search, the reader, offline copies and import. Supported by a single banner ad.
- A generous cap on saved links
- No account needed, ever
- Your vault never leaves the phone
Pro
Monthly or yearly
The whole app, on every device you own. Costs a fraction of Lifetime, and it is the only plan that unlocks sync — which is the part most people actually came for.
- Everything in Free, with no ads and no cap
- Sync links, folders, tags and highlights
- Your reading position, on every device
- The browser extension + cloud backup
- Yearly is the cheapest way in
Both terms start with a free trial. Cancel in the store any time — you keep it until the period you paid for runs out.
Lifetime
One payment, this device
Removes the ads and the link cap permanently, with nothing to renew. Worth knowing before you buy: it is a local purchase, so it does not include sync, the extension or cloud backup.
- Unlimited links
- No ads, ever
- No sync — one device only
Final prices are confirmed in the App Store and Google Play at launch, and shown in the app before you buy anything. You only ever sign in — with Google, Apple or an email code — if you want sync, and we use just your name and email to keep your vault attached to you. Details are in the privacy policy.
