Save to GoodLinks

Save links to GoodLinks app.

Download

Save to GoodLinks is a secure Chrome extension designed to seamlessly save your web links directly to the GoodLinks app on your iOS or macOS device. After installation, simply sign in with your Apple ID and use the extension button or convenient keyboard shortcuts (Command+Shift+S for Mac, Ctrl+Shift+S for Windows) to save links on the fly.

The extension operates entirely on the client side and communicates only with Apple's iCloud, ensuring your data's privacy with no third-party servers involved. Note that the extension requires the GoodLinks app and does not function if Advanced Data Protection is enabled on your iCloud account, for which using the Share extension is recommended. Customize keyboard shortcuts via Chrome's extension settings for your convenience.

User reviews

Users appreciate Save to GoodLinks for its clean design and effectiveness in saving content to read later, often preferring it over other services. However, multiple reviews mention significant issues with Apple ID authentication on the Chrome extension, including login failures and session drops. Users also report errors when saving links via the extension, inconsistent functionality across websites, and concerns about syncing between platforms with different login methods. Overall, while the app is praised, the Chrome extension's reliability and sign-in process need improvement.

Syncing between Chrome extension and iPhone app via different login methods (Apple ID vs Twitter) is confusing or unclear.
