An effortlessly simple bookmarks app that lets you save the links on your device on the go.

This is a dead simple bookmarks app that lets you save the links on your device on the go.

I builtLinkSnatch because I wanted something really simple to save links that I wanted to read later. I didn't want to have to sign up for an account, I didn't want to have to install a browser extension, and I didn't want to have to use a bookmarking service that was going to track me. I wanted something pretty simple that just works. And here I am!

The app is fairly opinionated and comes with a set of bare minimum features I would need:

• A beautiful interface with minimal distractions.
• Extracts URL metadata usingjsonlink.io and saves it to the browser's local storage.
• Save and search links all from a single place.
• Dark mode.
• It doesn't track you.
• No signup needed.
• It doesn't require you to install a browser extension.
• It's open source.

I started building it to solve my own itch but later realized that someone might be in need of something like this. And so, I decided to set it free out in the wild!
