About Linkeeper
Last updated October 11, 2026
Linkeeper is an iPhone and iPad app that saves links from any app in one tap and keeps them in one organized, searchable library to read later, made by Đào Văn Thương, an independent developer in Vietnam. A link shared to Linkeeper from the Share menu is captured without opening the app, with its title and preview image filled in and tags added automatically. Links, tags and collections are stored on the device first, so search works offline; an account is optional and only needed to sync between devices.

- Account
- Optional. Every feature except sync works without signing in.

- Pricing model
- Free to download, and saving links is always unlimited. Imports, collections and hidden-vault links have free limits, which a short ad you choose to watch can raise a little. Linkeeper Unlimited is a one-time in-app purchase, not a subscription: it removes the limits and the ads and includes sync. Prices are shown in the App Store for each region.

Why Linkeeper exists
People save links all day — a video to watch later, an article, a recipe, a product — and each app keeps its own saved list. Weeks later the link is hard to find: screenshots pile up, notes get forgotten, and every saved tab works differently.
Linkeeper puts every link in one place, whatever app it came from, tags it automatically and finds it again in a second, even without an internet connection.
It is built local-first: the library on the device is the real copy, not a cache, so nothing depends on an account or a server unless you choose to sync.
Privacy in short
- Your library stays on your device unless you sign in to sync it. You can sign out any time or delete your account and all synced data in the app.
- Anonymous usage statistics and crash reports go to Google Firebase. They are always on and never contain your links, titles, notes or tags.
- Ads appear only when you choose to watch one at a free limit, and are non-personalized. Linkeeper Unlimited has no ads.
- Purchases are handled by Apple and verified through RevenueCat, which never receives your name, email or links.
- Feedback is sent only when you write it and tap Send.
