We built Linkflare to solve a problem we all face: remembering everything we find interesting online. Have you ever bookmarked an article, only to forget about it completely? Or saved a movie recommendation that disappeared into the void of your browser bookmarks?

The Problem with Traditional Bookmarking

Traditional browser bookmarks are like a black hole. You throw things in, but they rarely come back out. They're unorganized, unsearchable, and honestly, pretty useless for anything beyond quick access to your most-visited sites.

We found ourselves using a dozen different services:

  • Browser bookmarks for websites
  • Goodreads for books
  • YouTube's "Watch Later" for videos
  • Notes apps for recipes
  • Separate wishlists on multiple shopping sites

It was chaos. We needed a single place to save everything that matters.

Enter Linkflare: The Universal Bookmark Manager

Linkflare is built on a simple idea: your brain shouldn't have to remember everything. It should be free to think, create, and make connections. That's why we call Linkflare your "universal bookmark manager."

Save Everything, Not Just Links

Linkflare isn't just for simple URLs. It's a universal home for everything you discover online. We've built specialized support for the content you care about:

  • Movies & TV Shows: Track what you want to watch. We automatically pull in IMDb ratings, release years, and posters.
  • Books: Keep track of your reading list with automatic author and cover art detection.
  • Recipes: Save your favorite meals. We'll even extract cooking times and calorie counts so you can sort by them later.
  • Videos: Save from YouTube or Vimeo and see the duration right on the card.
  • Products: Build a universal wishlist with prices and images from any store.
  • Articles: Save long-reads for later.
  • Games: Save links or reviews from your favorite gaming sites.
  • Places: Plan your trips by saving locations.

Smart Sorting & Organization

We all organize differently. Some people love folders, others prefer tags. Linkflare gives you the best of both worlds, plus some superpowers:

  • Collections: Group related bookmarks like folders.
  • Hierarchical Tags: Create complex taxonomies (e.g., #vacation/europe/italy). Searching for "Europe" finds your Italy links automatically.
  • Smart Sorting: This is where the magic happens. Sort your movies by IMDb rating, your recipes by cooking time, or your products by price. Context-aware sorting means you always find the best option.

Automation: Let Linkflare Do the Work

Organization takes time, so we built tools to do it for you. With Automation Rules, you can teach Linkflare how to file your content.

Create a rule that says "If the URL contains 'youtube.com', add the tag #video and move to 'Watch Later'". Or "If it's a Recipe, add the tag #food". Set it and forget it.

A Better Way to Consume Content

Saving is only half the battle. Linkflare helps you actually consume the content you save.

The Inbox

We distinguish between things you want to keep (Bookmarks) and things you need to process (Inbox). Throw articles, videos, and recommendations into your Inbox. Once you've read or watched them, archive them to your permanent library or delete them.

Reader Mode & Offline Access

Read articles without the clutter of ads and popups. Linkflare's Reader Mode strips away the noise. Plus, we download the content to your device, so you can read offline—perfect for flights or commutes.

Feeds

Follow your favorite blogs, newsletters, and YouTube channels directly within Linkflare. New posts arrive in your Inbox, ready for you to read on your own time. Learn more about Feeds.

Never Lose a Link Again

The internet is fragile. Websites go down, and articles get deleted. With Linkflare Vault, we create a permanent snapshot of every page you save. Even if the original site disappears, your copy is safe in the Vault.

Privacy First

We believe your digital brain should be private. With Private Mode, you can protect specific collections (like gift ideas or personal journals) so they're hidden from your main view.

Linkflare is available as a Progressive Web App (PWA) for desktop and mobile, and as a browser extension for Chrome, Edge, and Firefox.
