Questions people actually ask
Short answers. If yours is missing, email admin@linkboard.io.
What is LinkBoard?
LinkBoard is a web workspace for saving links into named directories, writing a short note on each one, tracking related dates on a calendar, and running a small poll when a group needs a decision. It is meant for project resources, research, and client folders — not for replacing your email or your full company wiki.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free plan includes 150 saved links, one directory, a monthly cap on calendar events, and basic viewer collaboration. You can sign up without a credit card. Paid plans lift those caps and add password protection, editor invites, and unlimited polls. Current details are on the Upgrade page after you sign in, and a summary is on the homepage.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Use a current browser on a phone, tablet, or computer. If you want an icon on your phone, use the browser’s “Add to Home Screen” option. There is no separate App Store or Play Store listing.
How do private directories work?
Private is the default. Only you and people you invite can see the collection. Invite someone as a viewer if they only need to read, or as an editor if they should add links. You can change visibility later in the directory settings. Do not put secrets in a directory you later flip to public without reading it first.
How do public directories work?
A public directory can be opened by anyone who has the link. Use it for lists you are willing to stand behind: a class reading list, a set of public tools, a handoff that contains only material you may share. Public directories require a written summary of at least 120 characters so visitors know what the page is. We may remove public collections that are empty, misleading, or against the Acceptable Use Policy.
What should I write in a directory description?
Answer two questions: what is this for, and how should someone use it. Example: “References for the Northwind website redesign: brief, brand files, competitor homepages, and the final Figma. Add a one-line note on every link. Ignore anything in the old Drive folder.” That is more useful than “links.”
What belongs in a link note?
The reason you saved it, who it is for, and any caveat. “Use the spacing on this pricing page; the illustrations are too busy.” “Primary source, cite chapter 3.” “Expired — keep only as an example of the old brand.” If you cannot write a note, you may not need the link.
Do you moderate public content?
We review reports. Public pages include a report control. We can hide a directory from public view while we look. Illegal content, malware, hate, spam, and deceptive collections are not allowed. Repeat problems can lead to losing public sharing or the account. Details are in the acceptable use policy.
Where do ads appear?
On some signed-in screens that already have your own content (for example a directory with links). We do not build public articles as empty ad pages. Cookie choices are offered on first visit. Privacy details are in the Privacy Policy.
How do I delete my account?
Email admin@linkboard.io from the address on the account and ask for deletion. We confirm and remove personal data as described in the privacy and GDPR pages, except where we must keep records (for example billing) for a legal period.
Can I export my data?
Full self-serve export (CSV/PDF) is on the Pro roadmap and not a button in the app today. If you need a copy of your links, contact us and we will help as we can. Do not wait until a deadline to ask.
Is there a browser extension?
Not yet. Copy the URL, paste it into LinkBoard, write the note. It is an extra step. The tradeoff is that you only save things you can describe, which keeps directories smaller and more honest.
