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.

Linkys 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? Linkys 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. Its 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 Im a fan of the deeper controls Linky brings when compared to the default share sheet. I cant recommend Linky enough." - MacStories

"Linky turbocharges sharing links and images from Safari or other apps supporting iOS extensions." 4/5 - Macworld

Pros and cons of Linky for Mastodon and Bluesky app for iPhone and iPad

Linky for Mastodon and Bluesky app good for

Does what it claims and does it in a well designed and easy to use way. If this had any option to schedule a post it would be a 6 star dream.
Ive only used this app for one day (as I have just purchased it) and already its a vital gem. This app saves loads of thought and effort time if you share things constantly. I truly, only have one suggestion. Thats to develop a send later functionality. I find myself doing a bulk of research at one time and thus sharing a lot of links back to back, when Id prefer them to be spaced out.
I like this app, and the primary reason I use it is for its ability to share to ADN. The App•net API is decidedly stable :) and so hopefully not too much of a burden to maintain support for. I hope Pragmatic Code reconsiders its plans to drop ADN support. Otherwise, Ill have to find (or make) a replacement.
I use this every day and my only complaint is that there isnt a version for OS X. Update: love link in-shortening in the new version!
Bitlys poor app redesign opened the door for Linky to take over as my link sharing app of choice. It is customizable to fit my needs and works everywhere on iOS. The ability y to add a photo to tweets is my favorite feature. It is the best app I purchased in 2016.

Some bad moments

I purchased this app because I found myself sharing links mostly in iMessage, Whatsapp, or FB messenger and wanted an option to share visually appealing links. However, it seems the app only allows you to share exclusively to Twitter and Facebook. If thats where you share most of your web content this app is for you. If youre like me and you share links mostly with your friends in group chats, save your money and move along.
...to tweet links to webpages (including the title of the original source).
A very professionally designed app. Perhaps the best 1.0 version of an app Ive seen yet! I look forward to more from this seller.
This is a really great app. The design and execution are perfect. Would like the ability to post to both services at once in future version.
Best way to share to App.net or Twitter. Very clean and smooth. Looking forward to Droplr support in the future. Keep up the great work.
Very nice app I love it. I wish you all can add a direct link to text msg as well, no big deal I can copy and paste, but it would be cool too.
