Plinky
Link-saving app for iPhone, iPad and Mac with tags and reminders
What is Plinky?
Plinky is a link-saving app for iPhone, iPad and Mac made by Red Panda Club. Links from any app or browser are saved through a share extension or browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox and Safari, then organized with folders, tags, pins and reminders. Saving links is free up to limits the App Store listing does not spell out, and Plinky Pro, sold monthly, yearly or as a lifetime unlock, removes them.
Plinky has a free plan. Paid plans start at $3.99 per month, or $39.99 per year (US App Store). See every plan

- The free version caps saved links, tags, folders, reminders and pins, and the listing does not state the numbers.

- The lifetime unlock is $159.99, about four times the price of a year of Plinky Pro.
Key features
- Saving from any app or browser
- A share extension on iPhone and iPad and browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox and Safari save links from other apps and the web. Chromium browsers such as Edge, Brave and Arc use the Chrome extension.
- Folders, tags and pins
- Links are organized into folders and tags, with suggested tags to start from, and the links, folders and tags used most can be pinned to the top.
- Reminders
- A reminder can be set on any link so that it resurfaces inside Plinky at a chosen date and time, without a separate to-do app.
- Reader Mode
- Links can open in Safari's Reader Mode without leaving Plinky, either for every article by default or through a swipe or long-press action.
- Widgets and customization
- Widgets for the Home Screen, Lock Screen and Control Center show recent or pinned links or the contents of a folder or tag, and the colors and layout of links, tags and folders can be changed.
- Shortcuts, URL schemes and API
- Shortcuts actions cover what the app itself can do, and URL schemes and a developer API let other tools save, update and manage links.
