Save anything. Find everything.
Course links, essays, and talks pile up in bookmarks, chats, and Watch later. Paste them into LinkCrate once. AI files Topics. When the assignment starts, Ask your library in plain language — instead of hunting for what you called the folder.
LinkCrate is on the web now. iOS, Android, and a Chrome extension are coming soon. This is not a reader app or a PDF annotator — it’s where study links get filed and found.
Who it’s for
You’re collecting lecture links, Substack essays, talk recordings, and “I’ll come back to this” tabs across bookmarks, WhatsApp, and social saves.
You lose them when a paper, exam, or project actually starts — because nothing was filed under a subject you can find.
You want organising without building a taxonomy first. Not a team wiki. Not a public social feed. Not link-in-bio.
Out of scope: LinkCrate is not a read-later reader, not a PDF annotate tool, and not an offline study suite. It’s a personal link library with Topics, Ask, and optional shared Folders.
From scattered saves to answers when study starts
- 1
Scatter.
Lecture notes in Drive, a Substack in bookmarks, a YouTube talk in Watch later, a PDF link in chat.
- 2
Paste.
Drop each link into LinkCrate on the web. No filing step first.
- 3
Topic.
AI reads the page and files it under a subject you can browse — course name or theme — so you don’t invent the taxonomy first.
- 4
Ask.
Before writing or revising, Ask “what did I save about [topic]?” Answers come from your library — not a general web search.
- 5
Share (optional).
Put the best set into a Folder and share a join link with a study partner — not a public profile page.
Why not just bookmarks or Watch later?
Bookmarks and Watch later are fine for parking a link. They’re weak when you need the link three weeks later by subject, not by the night you saved it.
LinkCrate’s wedge for learning: automatic Topics so study links don’t die in a folder named “misc,” plus Ask when the assignment starts. We don’t claim in-app reading, highlights, or PDF annotate — if that’s the job, keep the tool that does it.
- Topics — automatic filing by subject so course links stay findable.
- Ask — plain-language find over your saved links when study starts.
- Folders — optional curated sets to share with a study partner.
- Not a reader or PDF annotator — a personal link library for learning saves.

FAQ
Is LinkCrate a study or learning app?
It’s a personal link library used for learning. Paste course links, essays, and talks; AI files Topics; Ask when you need them back. It is not a reader, not a PDF annotator, and not a student SKU.
Why not just use bookmarks or Watch later?
Those park links by when you saved them. LinkCrate files by Topic and lets you Ask your library when the assignment starts — so “misc” and Watch later don’t become the filing system.
What’s the difference between Topics and Folders?
Topics are automatic. AI sorts every link into one; that’s how you browse by subject. Folders are manual. You create them to curate and share a set (e.g. with a study partner).
What is Ask?
Ask is plain-language find over your saved links. Type something like “what did I save about X” and get answers from what you’ve actually saved. It isn’t a general web search, and it isn’t a chatbot or assistant.
Will AI always file course links perfectly?
No perfection claim. AI reads the page and assigns a Topic, tags, and a short summary so you don’t maintain the taxonomy yourself. When you want a curated set, use a Folder.
Is there a free plan? Is there a trial?
Yes to free. No to trials. Guest — 3 links, no account. Starter — free forever, 15 links per month. Upgrade only if you need a higher cap. See /pricing for paid tiers (one currency for your location).
Is there a mobile app?
Not yet. LinkCrate is on the web now. iOS, Android, and a Chrome extension are coming soon.
Is LinkCrate a team wiki, social bookmarks, or link-in-bio?
No. Personal link library with optional shared Folders. Not a public feed, not enterprise wiki, not link-in-bio.
