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 Prizes : • MacStories Must-Have iOS Apps, 2019 Edition • MacStories Must-Have iOS Apps, 2018 Edition • MacStories Must-Have iOS Apps, 2017 Edition • MacStories Must-Have iOS Apps, 2016 Edition • MacStories Must-Have iOS Apps, 2015 Edition • MacStories Must-Have iOS Apps, 2014 Edition Features: • Supports Mastodon and Bluesky. • Post messages simultaneously on multiple accounts. • iOS Share Extension is integrated directly into Safari and many other third-party apps, allowing to directly share text, images and web page links. • Add multiple images to your messages (animated gif images are supported). • Image preview in fullscreen. • Suggestion of images related to shared links. • Share selected text in Safari as a text shot image. • Convert music links from Apple Music or Spotify into a single link that works across different streaming service. • Markup: annotate, crop and edit images inline.

Good for cross-posting, but also for sharing links to a single destination. The text shot feature generates alt text too.

NOTHING in the setup matched any of the images in the tutorial. Said to go to Safari, but where? Tutorial not clear at all. Links doesn’t appear anywhere it was suppose to. URL copied to clipboard from another app? What app? Linky doesn’t appear anywhere? No banner. What main screen? In what app? What settings? Where? I had such high hopes. Too confusing. So I suppose I have to go to AMEX to cancel and get my money back. Have to find an app that works.

This app is an absolute godsend 🙏 for posting on Mastodon. Linky makes it so easy to include text clips and photos to create the most professional appearing Toots possible. Using simple cut and paste, it can also be used to post on other social media apps and message/text (but unfortunately, you do lose the text clip.) Wish Apple provided better support for Apple News (no clips.) There are a few other instances where it doesn’t quite work as intended which is not the developers fault. Highly recommended! This one is a no-brainer purchase 🤗

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.

Functionality wise this app is great. I only care about sharing to my Fediverse account as I have left Twitter, though I know from previously it does sharing to Twitter well too. It is all good, especially with the music links, except for one thing: if I exceed 500 characters it disables the send button. Umm…what? My Fediverse account character limit is 5000 characters, not 500. Can I set it myself in the app? Can I remove that limit in the app? No. Fix that and I’ll update to 5 stars.

Particularly with mastodon use increasing, this app helps cross post in a more manual (and friendly) way. Handles ALT text for images, song sharing services and even content warnings for Mastodon!

J’emploie Linky depuis… biiiiip versions et j’en suis un utilisateur inconditionnel ! L’app est régulièrement bichonnée, dotée de petites options pratiques et s’avère au quotidien d’une fiabilité épatante. Je l’emploie depuis mon iPhone et mon iPad et souvent en sortie de mes fils RSS sous Reeder. Bref, une application indispensable, bien foutue et idéale pour qui navigue entre plusieurs comptes Twitter et Mastodon.

• Reduce message length for Bluesky by replacing long URLs with compact ones — just like the official Bluesky app does. • Privacy has been improved by no longer relying on Firebase/Crashlytics for anonymous feature analytics and crash reporting. Anonymous crash reports are now handled through iOS’s built-in mechanism (user opt-in), and feature analytics has been completely removed. • The app, which was already lightweight, has been further reduced in size by 32%, going from 12.5 MB to 8.5 MB.

Fixed a bug where posting a message containing a link to a Bluesky account could fail with an error.
