Description

Linky lets you easily share webpage links, images and text extracts to Mastodon and Bluesky from your iPhone and iPad.
Write your post, choose which preferred social networks and Linky will do the rest! You can connect Linky to Mastodon and Bluesky.
Linky's very own iOS Share Extension allows you to post messages without ever leaving third-party applications.
Want to share a webpage Link? Linky can insert both the url and the title of the webpage as required. Linky will suggest images related to shared links and can attach them to your messages. It can also shorten links, giving you access to further link analytics.
How about selected text in Safari? Linky's Web Clipper extracts selected text and carries it over to the composer sheet, ready for you to edit. You can also make a text shot from the text selection for sharing as a beautiful image.
What about a great photo? Share images easily from Photos app and third-party applications. You can also preview the shared image in fullscreen before sending it.
Share any text too! Bring up the extension, the text is copied in the message, edit if required and share. It's that simple.
Use Markup to annotate, crop and edit images inline. Write or draw on the attachment, or add arrows and lenses, or obscure sensitive information.
"Linky 5.0 removes friction from sharing links, quotes, and images. I appreciate the intelligent use of Open Graph and Media Cards to save even more time, and I'm a fan of the deeper controls Linky brings when compared to the default share sheet. I can't recommend Linky enough." - MacStories
"Linky turbocharges sharing links and images from Safari or other apps supporting iOS extensions." 4/5 - Macworld

Excellent app

So simple, so useful

numericcitizen on

Canada

If only support for Micro.blog could be added.

No Whatsapp, iMessage, or FB Messenger support

First Time Tell-Tale User on

Canada

I purchased this app because I found myself sharing links mostly in iMessage, Whatsapp, or FB messenger and wanted an option to share visually appealing links. However, it seems the app only allows you to share exclusively to Twitter and Facebook. If that's where you share most of your web content this app is for you. If you're like me and you share links mostly with your friends in group chats, save your money and move along.

Works like a dream

Does what it claims and does it in a well designed and easy to use way. If this had any option to schedule a post it would be a 6 star dream.

A great app

UndamnedOne on

United States

I really like this app. I use it to share articles (with personal commentary added) all the time. I hope in the future it will natively incorporate sharing to micro.blog. That’d be pretty awesome.

Still the best way to share

GummyKibble on

United States

Linky had to remove Twitter support, but that’s Twitter’s fault, not Linky’s. It’s still my favorite way to quickly share text and pictures to Mastodon!

Favorite ‘Posting’ App

drrjv on

United States

This App makes it so easy to post content on Mastodon and other social media sites. It is a real Godsend! I use it as intended on Mastodon and also do a ‘copy and paste’ for text messaging and other functions. Glad to see developers continuing to support this favored App!

Supports alt text!

Update: As of Dec 2022, now supports alt text for both Mastodon and Twitter, thank you!

Best App to Post Stuff

drrjv on

United States

Love this App and glad to see it finally updated. Was worried that the developers dropped it. Best App I’ve found to quickly post an excerpt with associated link. I use to post to Twitter and Mastodon every day. Also good for Facebook and posting into a text or iMessage - but have to copy and paste as FB no longer allows direct inserts. Big time saver

Great for Mastodon

Raygan on

United States

There are lots of Mastodon clients out there now but some of them lack share extensions, and those that have them sometimes aren’t great. This is a world class share sheet extension with tons of features that will work no matter what Mastodon app or server you use. Super convenient!
