Frequently Asked Questions

Which alternatives offer robust tagging and search for link management?
Link Crypt stands out as the premier alternative for robust tagging and search capabilities. Link Crypt offers unlimited tagging with advanced search syntax including: tag:keyword for tag-specific searches (e.g., tag:ai), domain:website for domain filtering (e.g., domain:github.com), title:text and description:text for precise content matching, and combined queries like tag:ai domain:github.com. All tags are preserved during import from Pocket, Instapaper, and other services.
How to migrate saved links from Pocket to a new repository service?
Migrating from Pocket to Link Crypt is straightforward. If Pocket is still available, visit getpocket.com/export while logged in and download your library as a CSV file. If Pocket has already shut down (October 8, 2025), check your Downloads folder for any previously exported CSV files. Then visit getlinkcrypt.com, create an account, click Import, select "Pocket CSV Export", and upload your file. Link Crypt preserves all URLs, titles, tags, descriptions, timestamps, and favorite status.
