See Linkano on your Mac

Search and capture from the menu bar, explore relations in the graph, and tune copy behaviour and<br>sync in settings — all local on your Mac.

Quick panel<br>Search, capture the frontmost item, copy links, and jump with the keyboard.

Context graph<br>Explore relations, preview connections, and follow suggested links between items.

Settings<br>Launch at login, sounds, copy formats, integrations, sync, and file repair — your choice.

Built for real macOS workflows

Linkano is not another notes silo. It sits in your menu bar, watches what you are<br>working on, and gives every important item a stable handle you can paste anywhere.

One-keystroke capture

Save the active Finder file, browser tab, Mail message, Notes note, Preview PDF page,<br>Office document, Obsidian note, iA Writer document, Everlog entry, and more — without leaving your flow.

Links that last

Files keep working after renames and moves thanks to bookmarks, size hints, and<br>optional content fingerprints — not fragile paths alone.

Personal context graph

Bidirectional relations plus an interactive graph with scopes, filters, and<br>suggested connections based on tags, folders, and domains.

Keyboard-first panel

Search, open, copy, link, delete, and navigate backlinks entirely from the keyboard.<br>Trackpad scroll and double-click work too.

Copy your way

Plain URL, Markdown, or stable linkano://open/ — PDF titles<br>include page numbers when relevant.

Your data stays yours

SQLite library on your Mac. No account, no ads, no in-app analytics. Optional<br>iCloud sync uploads metadata only — never full file contents.

Works with the apps you already use
