Linkano
One-keystroke capture
Save the active Finder file, browser tab, Mail message, Notes note, Preview PDF page, Office document, Obsidian note, and more — without leaving your flow.
macOS menu bar app
Durable links between everything you work on
Capture files, web pages, mail, notes, PDF pages, and calendar items in one
keystroke. Connect them with relations, search instantly, and open them again with
stable linkano:// links that survive renames and moves.
Built for real macOS workflows
Linkano is not another notes silo. It sits in your menu bar, watches what you are working on, and gives every important item a stable handle you can paste anywhere.
Links that last
Files keep working after renames and moves thanks to bookmarks, size hints, and optional content fingerprints — not fragile paths alone.
Personal context graph
Bidirectional relations plus an interactive graph with scopes, filters, and suggested connections based on tags, folders, and domains.
Keyboard-first panel
Search, open, copy, link, delete, and navigate backlinks entirely from the keyboard. Trackpad scroll and double-click work too.
Copy your way
Plain URL, Markdown, or stable linkano://open/<uuid> — PDF titles
include page numbers when relevant.
Your data stays yours
SQLite library on your Mac. No account, no ads, no in-app analytics. Optional iCloud sync uploads metadata only — never full file contents.
Works with the apps you already use
Active context capture and reopen behaviour for Finder, Preview, Safari and Chromium browsers, Mail, Notes, iWork, Microsoft Office, Calendar, Contacts, Obsidian, DEVONthink, CodeRunner, and more.
