How to Save Links From Any iPhone App in Seconds (And Actually Find Them Later)

If you save links by opening endless tabs, screenshots, or messaging yourself, you are not alone. LinkBook gives you a faster, cleaner way to save links on iPhone and find them later.

In this guide

  • Why tabs, screenshots, and notes apps fail as a save system.
  • How LinkBook uses the iOS Share Sheet to save in seconds.
  • What your saved links look like inside the app.
  • How Reader Mode and offline access work for eligible articles.

You are scrolling through X. You spot an article you want to read later. You screenshot it, tell yourself you will find it again, and then you never do. Or maybe you open Safari tabs like they are free real estate. Forty-seven tabs later, your phone is begging for mercy and that recipe you saved three weeks ago is buried somewhere in the chaos.

Sound familiar? There is a better way.

The problem with how most people save links

Most of us have makeshift systems for saving interesting content: screenshots, browser tabs, notes apps, and messaging ourselves. None of them actually work for long‑term retrieval.

  • Browser bookmarks get buried or forgotten.
  • Tabs slow your phone and disappear at the worst time.
  • Screenshots lack context and are impossible to search.
  • Notes require extra steps just to save a link.

What you actually need is a dedicated space for links that is fast to save to and easy to search through.

Meet LinkBook: your personal link library

LinkBook is a bookmark app designed for one thing: helping you save links fast from any app and find them when you need them. No tab hoarding. No lost articles. Just a clean, organized library of everything you saved.

What makes LinkBook different

Save from anywhere, add folders and tags in seconds, and get smart card previews so you can recognize content at a glance. For eligible articles, Reader Mode cleans the page and Premium fetches the text automatically for offline reading.

How to save a link to LinkBook (it takes seconds)

Here is exactly what the experience looks like on iPhone.

Step 1: Tap Share

You are in any app — Safari, YouTube, a news app, X, wherever. See something you want to save? Tap the Share button.

Step 2: Choose LinkBook

From the Share Sheet, select LinkBook. A save screen appears instantly with a preview so you know the right link is ready.

Step 3: Add details (optional)

The save screen shows you:

  • A preview with the link title and source.
  • An editable title field if you want to rename it.
  • A tags field for comma‑separated tags.
  • An optional folder selector.
  • An optional notes field for context.

You can save immediately or take a few seconds to organize.

Step 4: Tap Post

Hit the Post button and you are done. The link is saved to your LinkBook library with a smart card preview.

Step 5: Find it later

Open LinkBook whenever you are ready. Your saved link is waiting with its preview, tags, and notes intact. Open it in‑app, switch to Reader Mode, or read offline if the reader text has been fetched.

Why your current system is not working

Let us be honest about the alternatives:

  • Browser tabs were not designed for long‑term storage.
  • Screenshots have no searchable context.
  • Notes apps slow you down with copy and paste.
  • Emailing yourself clutters inboxes meant for communication.

LinkBook exists specifically for this use case. It is fast to add to, easy to organize, and built for retrieval.
