Keep the things worth returning to.
LinkHQ is a quiet place for the links you want to find again. Share a video, a post, or a page into it the way you would send it to a friend, and LinkHQ captures the link, fills in its real title, keywords, and thumbnail, and keeps it ready. Tap it later and the original app reopens the video or post at its source. The library lives on your device and is never uploaded.

Why people choose it
A calm archive for the links you mean to come back to.
LinkHQ turns the links you share into a library you can actually search, so a saved post is easy to find again and one tap away from the app it came from.
Capture from any app
A Share Extension puts LinkHQ in the system share sheet, so a link or shared text can be saved from wherever you find it.
- Save a single web URL, or a link found inside shared text
- The editor opens right away with a provisional title
- Adjust the title, source, note, tags, and keywords before saving
Automatic titles, thumbnails, and keywords
The real title of the video, post, or page is fetched and shown instead of the bare URL, with a preview image and a few keywords.
- Titles come from oEmbed or the page's own metadata
- Thumbnails use the platform preview, else the page image
- Keywords are extracted on device for search and filtering
Reopen at the source
Tap Open Original and LinkHQ hands the saved URL back to iOS, which routes it to the app that owns it when it is installed.
- A YouTube link reopens in the YouTube app
- Links never reopened carry a dot and an Unopened filter
- Open Original marks a link opened for you
Private by default
The library is stored only on your device and never uploaded. The only network use is a per-link metadata lookup when a link is saved.
- No accounts, no analytics, no ads
- Metadata lookups reach each link's own site or oEmbed endpoint
- Delete the app and the library goes with it
Product architecture
One library, three ways it keeps your links in order.
Each part of LinkHQ answers a different question, how to save a link, how to find it again, and where it came from, while keeping the same calm, editorial style.
Library
Everything you have saved, newest first, with titles and thumbnails doing the work the bare URL used to do.
- Search across title, URL, note, tags, and keywords
- Filter by source, keyword, favorites, or unopened
- Mark favorites, edit, or delete entries
Capture and annotate
The share sheet editor lets you shape a link before it is stored, and finish it later in the app.
- Edit the title, keywords, tags, and note
- Pick a source for the link
- A duplicate warning names when and under what title it was saved
Sources and detection
Links are classified by their host, so the right source is set without you choosing it.
- YouTube, RedNote, Bilibili, TikTok, Instagram, X, and Web
- The source sets the icon and informs the metadata lookup
- You can still change the source by hand
How it works
From a shared link to a reopened post in five steps.
Share a link
Tap Share in any app and choose LinkHQ, the same way you would send it to a friend.
LinkHQ captures it
The editor opens with a provisional title, ready for a note, tags, and a source.
Titles and thumbnails fill in
The real title, keywords, and preview image are fetched and settle into place.
Search or filter later
Find a link again by title, source, keyword, favorite, or whether you have opened it.
Open Original
Tap to hand the URL back to iOS and reopen the video or post at its source.
Who it serves
Built for the way you already save things.
Collectors and researchers
Save videos, posts, and pages from across your apps into one searchable place, with real titles and keywords instead of a wall of bare links. Filter by source or keyword to pull a topic back together, and lean on duplicate warnings so the same link is not saved twice by accident.
Everyday use on iPhone and iPad
On iPad at regular width the library becomes a split view, with the list in a sidebar and the selected link beside it. Dynamic Type scales every label up to the largest accessibility sizes, so the archive reads comfortably wherever you keep it.
Ready to keep the things worth returning to?
Save your first link from the share sheet, let the titles and thumbnails fill in, and keep the support and privacy pages close as part of the same quietly precise app experience.
