How to use Linkflux

1. Linkflux in one minute

Linkflux keeps all your useful links in one tidy dashboard: sorted into categories, marked by priority, and searchable in a second.

It works in your browser and can be installed like an app on your laptop or phone. Once installed it opens in its own window and works without internet.

How to do it

1. Add links: type them in, drop them on the page, or share them from your phone.
2. Sort them into categories and give important ones a priority.
3. Find anything with search, and arrange cards in the order you like.
4. Keep a backup so your links are always safe.

Good to know: New here? Take the 2-minute practice tour from ⚙️ Manage → 🎓 Take the practice tour. You practise on sample links; your own bookmarks are never touched.

2. Add a bookmark

Every bookmark has a title, a link and a category. Priority and notes are optional.

How to do it

1. Open ⚙️ Manage and choose ➕ Add Bookmark.
2. Type or paste the link, give it a title and pick (or type) a category.
3. Optionally set a priority and add a note, then press Add.

Good to know: If you add a link you already have, Linkflux warns you first so you do not end up with duplicates.

3. Drop links in, or share them from your phone

On a laptop, drag a link from any web page, or the little icon in the address bar, and drop it anywhere on Linkflux.

On Android, once Linkflux is installed, it appears in the Share menu of every app.

How to do it

1. Laptop: drag one link onto Linkflux. The Add form opens already filled in; choose a category and press Add.
2. Laptop: drag several links at once. They are all added to a category called “Unsorted”, skipping any you already have.
3. Android: in any app tap Share → Linkflux. The link arrives ready to save.

Good to know: iPhone does not let apps receive shared links. On iPhone, copy the link and use ➕ Add Bookmark.

4. Search

The search box looks through titles, links, categories and notes as you type.

How to do it

1. Click or tap the search box.
2. Type any word you remember about the link.
3. Clear the box to see everything again.

Good to know: Search works together with the category you have selected, so you can search inside one category.

5. Categories and pins

Categories keep related links together, like “Work”, “Recipes” or “Learning”.

How to do it

1. Tap a category chip to see only its bookmarks; tap All to see everything.
2. Press the 📌 pin on a category to keep it at the front of the list.
3. To rename or remove categories, open ⚙️ Manage → 🗂️ Manage Categories.

Good to know: When you have many categories, only the pinned and first few show; “+ more” reveals the rest.

6. Priorities

Give a bookmark a priority so the important ones stand out: Important + Urgent, Important + Not Urgent, or Urgent + Not Important.

How to do it

1. Set the priority when you add or edit a bookmark.
2. Open the 🎯 By Priority tab to see bookmarks grouped by priority.
3. Tap a priority chip to show only that group.

Good to know: Most bookmarks need no priority. Use it for the few links you must come back to.

7. Edit or delete a bookmark

Every card has ✎ Edit and 🗑 Delete buttons.

How to do it

1. Press ✎ Edit to change the title, link, category, priority or notes, then save.
2. Press 🗑 Delete to remove a bookmark. You are asked first.

Good to know: Changing a bookmark’s category to a new name creates that category for you.

8. Arrange your cards

Put your cards in exactly the order you want. Linkflux remembers it, every time you come back.

How to do it

1. Choose “✋ My order” in the sort menu above the cards.
2. Grab a card by its ⠿ handle and drag it to its new place. On a phone, press and drag the handle.
3. Keyboard: press Tab until the ⠿ handle is highlighted, then use the arrow keys.

Good to know: Your order also works inside a category: arrange the cards while one category is selected.

9. Tidy up many at once

Select several bookmarks and change them together.

How to do it

1. Press ☑ Select Multiple.
2. Tick the cards you want.
3. Move them to a category, set a priority, or delete them, then press Done.

Good to know: Great after importing: select everything that landed in “Unsorted” and move it in one go.

10. Keep your bookmarks safe

Your bookmarks are stored on your own device, inside the browser. Nothing is uploaded. But if you clear your browser’s data, the browser deletes them too, so keep a backup.

In Chrome, Edge or Brave on a laptop, Linkflux can also keep a copy in a file on your computer that updates by itself every time you change something.

How to do it

1. Laptop (Chrome, Edge, Brave): ⚙️ Manage → 💾 Save to a file on this computer, and choose where to keep it (for example Documents).
2. Any browser: ⚙️ Manage → 📤 Export Backup (JSON) downloads a copy of everything.
3. To bring a backup back: ⚙️ Manage → 📁 Import Backup (JSON) and choose the file.

Good to know: If your browser data was ever wiped, open Linkflux and choose the same file again: Linkflux sees that the file is newer and offers to load it. Linkflux also reminds you if you have not backed up for two weeks.

11. Light or dark

Linkflux follows your device’s light or dark setting the first time you open it.

How to do it

1. Press the round 🌙 / ☀️ button at the top right to switch.

Good to know: Your choice is remembered on this device.

12. Install Linkflux on your laptop or phone

Installed, Linkflux opens in its own window like any other app and works without internet.

How to do it

1. Laptop (Chrome or Edge): ⚙️ Manage → 📲 Install the app, or press the install icon at the right of the address bar.
2. Android (Chrome): ⚙️ Manage → 📲 Install the app, or the browser menu ⋮ → Install app / Add to Home screen.
3. iPhone or iPad: open Linkflux in Safari, tap the Share button, then “Add to Home Screen”.
4. Mac with Safari: File → Add to Dock.

Good to know: Each device keeps its own bookmarks. To move them to another device, Export Backup on one and Import Backup on the other.

13. Bring in your browser bookmarks

Already have bookmarks in Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari? Bring them all in at once; their folders become categories.

How to do it

1. In your browser, export your bookmarks to an HTML file (Chrome: Bookmarks manager → ⋮ → Export bookmarks).
2. In Linkflux: ⚙️ Manage → 📥 Import from Browser and choose that file.

Good to know: Links you already have are skipped, so importing twice does no harm.

14. Coming from DazzlingDiva Bookmarks

Linkflux is the new version of DazzlingDiva Bookmarks. Your old bookmarks come across in two steps.

How to do it

1. In the old app: Manage → Export Backup (JSON).
2. In Linkflux: ⚙️ Manage → 📁 Import Backup (JSON) and choose that file.

Good to know: Everything comes across: titles, links, categories, priorities and notes.

15. Your privacy

Your bookmarks never leave your device. Site icons are fetched from Google so cards look nice; if you prefer, switch them off in ⚙️ Manage → 🖼️ Site Icons.

Good to know: Device Sync is coming soon. It will keep your bookmarks the same on your 3 devices, locked with a password only you know before they leave your device.
