About iLinkVault
iLinkVault keeps links, articles, notes and research in a private vault. You save from the iPhone, iPad, Android or Mac apps or the Chrome and Edge extension, and AI organizes the content so you can find an item by describing it the way you remember it, by topic, timeframe, source or intent.
Collections of links can be shared privately or publicly, and a screenshot of an article, tweet or QR code can be shared to the app to extract the URL automatically, without storing the screenshot. Temporary files can be sent between devices and expire after 24 hours. The site states the vault is private by default and encrypted, with no ads even on the free plan.
The app is free to start with no card required, and the site offers a Mac app, a browser extension and mobile apps for iPhone and Android so the same vault is available everywhere, including a native Mac app and a browser extension for Chrome and Edge.
