The basics
What is Linky?
A free link-in-bio page builder. You sign in with Discord, claim linky.moe/yourname, add links, embeds and widgets, design the page down to the cursor, and share one link everywhere. Every feature is free.
Is it really free? What is the catch?
There is no premium tier, no watermark you have to pay to remove, no ads on your page, and no seller fees. Linky is built and paid for by its maker as a creator tool, not as a funnel. If that ever changes, it will be on the changelog first.
How long does setup take?
About five minutes: sign in, pick a name, add three links, pick a preset. The dashboard has a checklist and a live preview.
Who is it for?
Creators, streamers, VTubers, artists, musicians, gamers and developers. If your profile is part of your identity, it is for you. See the pages for creators, gamers and others.
Can I bring my links from Linktree or another tool?
Yes. Open Links & blocks → Import, paste your Linktree, Beacons, bio.link, Carrd, solo.to, AllMyLinks or Lnk.Bio page, and tick the links you want. Nothing is added until you choose.
Do I need a Discord account?
Yes. Discord sign-in is the only option, on purpose: no passwords to create or leak, and every page is tied to a real account. We request only the “identify” scope: public username, ID and avatar. No email, no servers, no messages.
Names, UIDs and badges
What names can I use?
1 to 32 characters: letters, numbers, dots, dashes and underscores. Names are first come, first served. Route names like “help” or “api” are reserved.
Why are short names a big deal?
A one-character name can only exist 36 times. Two characters: 1,404. Three: 54,756. Short names earn permanent Legendary, Epic or Rare name badges, and nobody can buy them.
What is a UID?
Every account receives the next number when it is created. UID 1 is the founder. UIDs 1–10 carry the Founder badge and 1–100 the OG badge. They are never reissued.
Can I change my name later?
Three times. The old address redirects to the new one for 90 days so nothing you posted breaks immediately. Update your bios anyway.
How do badges work?
They are computed from facts: when you joined, how short your name is, your views and clicks, whether you use video or music. Staff can grant Bug hunter, Designer and Supporter. You can hide any badge. None are for sale.
Can I use a brand name?
Only if you are that brand. Impersonation gets the page removed and the account banned. Brands can write to contact.
Building your page
What can I put on the page?
Links, headings, text, dividers, images, galleries, embeds (Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, SoundCloud, Twitch, TikTok, Vimeo, Bandcamp and more), your own tracks, a map, polls, a contact form, an email signup, countdowns, FAQ, a calendar, game settings, hardware, tags, projects, and live cards for GitHub, Discord, Roblox, Minecraft, YouTube, weather and a clock. 29 block types.
Which file types work for avatars and backgrounds?
Images: PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, AVIF up to 15 MB; they are converted to WebP. Videos: MP4, MOV, WebM up to 40 MB; converted to a silent looping WebM. Audio: MP3, OGG, M4A up to 15 MB.
Can I use my own fonts?
33 fonts are available, including monospace and pixel fonts. Uploading your own font files is on the roadmap.
Does the music autoplay?
Browsers block sound until the visitor interacts. Linky starts the track on the first tap, or on the click of the Enter screen if you turn that on.
Can I schedule a link?
Yes. Every block has “show from” and “hide after” times. Drops publish and retire themselves.
Can I hide a link without deleting it?
Yes. The eye icon hides it from the page and keeps it in your dashboard.
What happens when I click the preview?
The dashboard opens the setting for the part you clicked. Blocks open their editor; the header opens Profile; the background opens Design.
Is there an 18+ option?
Two: mark single links as 18+ so visitors confirm before opening, or gate the whole page. Gated pages are not listed in Explore or the sitemap.
Analytics
How are views counted?
On our server, when the page loads. Each visitor counts once per day using a salted hash of their address and browser that rotates daily, so nothing identifies a person and nothing is stored on their device. Crawlers, link-preview bots and your own visits are excluded.
Why do my numbers differ from Instagram’s?
Apps count taps on the link; we count pages that actually loaded and were not bots or duplicates. Ours is usually lower and more honest.
What does the analytics page show?
Views, unique visitors, clicks per link, click rate, referrers, devices, browsers, operating systems, languages and UTM campaigns, per day, with the previous period for comparison.
Can I export my data?
Yes. Settings → Download everything gives you a JSON file with your profile, analytics, inbox and email signups. Stats and signups also export as CSV.
AI apps
Can I manage my page from Claude or ChatGPT?
Yes. Generate a key in Settings → AI apps, add Linky as an MCP connector in your app with that key, and ask it to read your stats or edit your links. Full guide on the AI apps page.
What can a connected app change?
Links (add, edit, hide, reorder, feature) and your display name, bio, tagline and location. It can never change your design, your handle, your media or delete anything. Removed links are hidden, not deleted.
How do I disconnect an app?
Revoke the key in Settings. Every app using it loses access immediately.
Account and data
What data do you store?
Your Discord ID, username and avatar hash; your page configuration and uploads; cookieless analytics totals; contact-form messages sent to you; and a security log of sign-ins and saves with IP addresses, kept for abuse prevention. Details in the privacy policy.
Do you use cookies?
One session cookie when you are signed in to the dashboard. Public pages set no cookies. Analytics is cookieless.
Where is Linky hosted?
On a single server operated by its maker, Visiuun. Uploads are served from the same host; profile fonts other than the three bundled ones load from Google Fonts.
How do I delete my account?
Settings → Delete account. Your page, media, analytics and inbox are removed immediately and your name becomes available. There is no undo.
Is Linky open to everyone?
Yes, right now. No waitlist. Sign in and claim a name.
