Help & Support

The easiest way is with our Chrome Extension:

1. Install the Save to Link Crypt extension
2. Sign in with your Link Crypt account
3. Click the extension icon on any webpage to save it instantly
4. Add tags and notes before saving (optional)

The extension popup lets you add tags, edit the URL, and save with one click

Alternative method: You can also paste URLs directly into Link Crypt's "Add Link" form when you're signed in to the web app.

Every time you save a new link, Cryptie reads the page (title, description, body content, and domain) and suggests tags based on:

• Your existing tag vocabulary — Cryptie reuses tags you already have so your taxonomy stays consistent.
• Page context — title, meta description, and extracted page text drive the suggestion.
• Description fallback — if the page blocks scraping (Instagram, paywalled news, etc.) Cryptie generates a short summary so the link is still searchable.

You can turn auto-tagging on or off any time in Preferences → Cryptie's AI. Manual tagging works the same as always.

Re-tag an old link: open the link card and use the “Re-tag with AI” action. Cryptie re-runs the analysis and merges new suggestions with your existing tags.

Every plan includes the full Link Crypt REST API. Each integration uses the same Bearer token (mint one in Preferences → API keys):

Looking for n8n, Zapier, Make, Raycast, Notion, or Readwise? See the full integrations directory.

Yes. Link Crypt ships a first-class REST API so tool-enabled clients can talk to your library:

• GET /api/v1/search — query your crypt with tag: and domain: filters
• POST /api/v1/links — save a URL with tags and optional preview
• POST /api/v1/links/:id/tags — adjust tags from a chat or script
• POST /api/v1/analyze/digest — pull an AI digest of recent saves

Auth is a Bearer token from Preferences → API keys. Full reference and examples: /api.

Use the Maintenance page to detect and merge duplicates:

• Duplicate Links — groups links by normalized URL (tracking parameters like utm_* are stripped). The oldest copy becomes the canonical; all tags are merged in and missing metadata is filled from the duplicates.
• Duplicate Tags — groups tags with the same name case-insensitively (e.g. “JavaScript” and “javascript”). Keeps the oldest tag, moves all link associations to it, then removes the duplicates.

Both tools preview the changes before you commit — you can review every group before running cleanup. Always export a backup first.

No — cleanup operations permanently delete the duplicate records. There is no undo.

Always export a CSV backup before running cleanup. The Maintenance page has a prominent “Export Backup Now” button at the top, and you can also export from the account menu at any time.

Yes! We believe in data portability. You can export your entire Link Crypt library at any time:

• Export all links, tags, and metadata
• CSV format for compatibility
• No vendor lock-in
• Available from your account menu
