Paste a link from anywhere: a Goodreads book, a Spotify episode, a New Yorker essay, a YouTube talk. It shows up with its cover, title, and source.

And new work from Substack, Medium, ORCID, and podcast feeds comes in on its own.

No. 1 Features

The things you need.

29 themes, each one a paper, an ink, and a typeface.

Try one on. Your sections, pins, and order stay where you put them.

One link in. A whole site out.

You don’t fill in a form or pick a template first. Here’s what happens when you start.

  1. Step 1: You paste a link

    Your newsletter, an author page on a magazine, a Linktree, your own site, or your ORCID. One is enough.

    Other ways to start: reading it… Scholarly work

    Or see a live example: micah.linkfount.com

  2. Step 2: Linkfount gathers your work and looks around the web

    It reads the link, follows it to the rest of your writing, then searches for the bylines, episodes, and profiles the link didn’t mention. Everything is sorted into sections.

  3. Step 3: You edit the draft and keep it

    You land on the draft before you’ve made an account. Change the theme, fix your bio, take out what isn’t yours, add a link it missed. Then sign up to keep it.

After that, it keeps working

Publish anywhere. Your site keeps up.

Linkfount checks the places you publish every day. Here’s a week on Harriet Vale’s site. She didn’t touch it. One essay is waiting for her to say yes.

Harriet is made up. Her sources are the kinds autosync follows: a podcast, a Substack, and magazine author pages.
Every 24 hours
Each source is checked once a day. New work comes in with its title, date, and cover.
Straight in, or ask first
Set each source to add work on its own or wait for you. Anything waiting is in Monday’s email.

Why it matters

38%

of the web pages that existed in 2013 were no longer available by 2023.*

Magazines fold, redesign, and lose their archives. So every link you add gets two copies, and your clips can outlast the sites that ran them.

  • Linkfount’s copy The full page, kept on Linkfount’s own storage.
  • Wayback Machine’s copy We ask the Internet Archive to save one as well.

Saved copies are on paid plans. Visitors find both under Saved copies on the link.

* Pew Research Center, “When Online Content Disappears”, May 17, 2024.

Everything you’ve put on your site, in one zip.

Plain CSV files, plus the originals of your images, PDFs, and saved pages. Open it in any spreadsheet, or take it somewhere else. On every plan.

Coming soon

A calendar that keeps itself.

Services, seminars, readings, and meetups on your site, the next one first and past ones filed away.

Want it first? We’ll email you once, when it’s ready.

Decisions you make Buttons Button colors and their order. Linkfount Which lists to make, and which theme. Canvas Layout, type, spacing, and menus, on every page.
Upkeep Buttons Add each new link yourself. Linkfount New work shows up on its own. Canvas Add each new piece, and keep the template current.
With 6 pieces Buttons Neat. Linkfount Looks finished. Canvas Fine, if you designed it.
With 600 pieces Buttons A long scroll with no dates. Linkfount Lists, a Recent tab, and search that finds things by meaning. Canvas Archive pages and menus you build yourself.

No. 3 Philosophy

We don’t chase growth at all costs.

  1. 1.

    Do what’s good for users, not what’s good for conversion.

    No bullying pop-ups, no hidden paywalls, and no dark patterns that make it hard to export your work, cancel, or leave.

    A pop-up asks your visitors for their email before they can read.
    Your visitors never see a pop-up.
    Exporting is a paid extra, and canceling means a call or a chat.
    Export is free on every plan. You can cancel anytime from your settings.
  2. 2.

    Convention over configuration.

    Solve problems like layout once, and well. Tools that try to be everything for everyone end up confusing, and so do the sites people build with them.

    A hundred settings, and a new template means fixing every page.
    Pick a theme. Switch anytime, and nothing breaks.
  3. 3.

    Use AI tastefully.

    Leave the writing to people; the web has enough slop. Use AI for the chores: keeping things organized, catching typos, and finding work you’ve already written.

    A button offers to write your next post for you.
    You write; it tidies up.
    You hunt down every old byline yourself.
    It finds pieces you published elsewhere, catches typos in your bio, and sorts links into lists. You decide what stays.
  4. 4.

    Beauty, not vanity.

    Make sites beautiful by making them useful, so visitors find what they came for. Never trade that for effects that only impress.

    A splashy home page, and the essay they came for is three menus deep.
    Lists inside lists, a date on every piece, a Recent tab, and search on every site.
  5. 5.

    Don’t colonize attention.

    Make it easy to find things and get the updates you want. Never try to keep you or your visitors scrolling; we aren’t paid for attention.

    A feed ranks posts to keep you scrolling, and last year’s best essay sinks out of sight.
    Nothing ranks, boosts, or buries anyone’s work. Recent goes by date, not by engagement.
    Notifications and streaks are tuned to pull you back.
    Visitors choose how they hear from you: by email, or by RSS for the whole site or a single list.
  6. 6.

    Charge fair prices. Don’t make users the product.

    Let users pay us directly, so we never need to sell your attention or your visitors’.

    It’s free because you’re what’s being sold.
    No ads and no investors. Subscriptions pay for Linkfount, and we never sell your personal information.*

* From our privacy policy: “We never sell your personal information to advertisers or data brokers.”

No. 6 Questions

Asked and answered

How is this different from a website, a link-in-bio page, or a newsletter?
A website is a lot of work. A link-in-bio page holds too little. A newsletter or social account keeps your readers on someone else’s platform. Linkfount sits in between: your links, posts, PDFs, papers, books, and events, sorted into lists (and lists inside lists), with the design, search, and a Recent page handled for you.
Do I need to be technical?
No. Paste a link and you’ll see your site before you make an account. After that, adding something means pasting a link or uploading a file.
Will my site look empty if I only have a few things?
No. Six links, each with a line on why you chose it, look like a well-kept shelf. Four hundred look like a library. Your site is organized into lists you choose, so it doesn’t depend on how often you post.
Is there a feed or an algorithm?
Not one that decides who gets seen. Linkfount has no feed that ranks, boosts, or buries anyone’s work. Readers follow you directly, by email or by subscribing to your site (or a single list) in any RSS reader.
Who pays for Linkfount?
The people who use it. Linkfount is bootstrapped and paid for by subscriptions, not investors or advertisers. There are no ads, and nothing pops up when your visitors arrive.
Can I leave?
Yes, any time, on any plan. Download a zip of your items, lists, and subscribers as spreadsheets, with your images. If you use your own domain, point it wherever you go next.
When is Linkfount the wrong choice?
If you need a shop or a checkout, use a website builder; Linkfount doesn’t take payments. If you want a custom design, a builder or a developer will give you more control. And if you want an algorithm to find you an audience, that’s what social platforms are for.
