Getting started
Save your first link
Paste any URL into Add — AI reads the page and files it under a Topic automatically, no manual tagging needed.
Browse by Topic
Your whole library is organized by subject on the Browse tab, sorted automatically as you save more.
Ask a question
Open Ask and type something like "what did I save about X" — it searches your actual saved links, not the whole web.
Share a Folder
Create a Folder, add links to it, and share the join link with anyone — it stays in their account from then on.
Frequently asked questions
What does LinkCrate do?
Paste any link and LinkCrate saves it, then uses AI to classify it into a Topic and tag it — so your saved links stay organized without any manual filing.
What's the difference between Topics and Folders?
Topics are automatic — AI sorts every link into one so you can browse your whole library by subject. Folders are manual — you create them specifically to share a curated set of links with someone else.
How do I share a folder?
Open a folder you own, click Share, and send the generated link. Anyone who opens it can join, and the folder then stays in their account from then on — no need to share the link again.
Where do folders shared with me show up?
Once you join a folder, it appears under "Shared with you" on the Folders view, alongside folders you own.
What can I do in a shared folder I don't own?
If you're a member, you can add links to it. If you're read-only, you can view its links but can't add, rename, or delete anything.
What does "Ask" do?
Ask lets you type a question in plain English and get an answer pulled from the links you've actually saved — instead of searching by keyword.
Can I add a link I already saved into a folder?
Yes — open the folder and click "+ Existing" to pick from your library, instead of pasting the URL again.
What happens when I delete a link or folder?
Deleted links go to Trash first, so you can restore them. Deleting a folder only removes the folder itself — the links inside stay in your library.
