What Link Browser can do
The sections of the app and what each one does.
Tracking
-
Watchlist
A list of people and companies that Link Browser follows: profile changes, posts and discussions.

Watchlist Jobs
Job cards from the companies you choose.
-
Change history
Link Browser keeps the history of the data, so you see what changed and when.
-
Notifications
Alerts about changes for the people on your list.
Your network

My colleagues
Former colleagues at each company: the years you overlapped, where they work now, their career history.

My classmates
Alumni of your university, with MBA and business-school peers listed separately.

People search
By job title, industry and location.

Export and CRM

AI agent

How tracking works
-
Make a list
Add the people and companies you want to follow to your Watchlist.
-
Link Browser collects the data
It regularly updates the available data on your list: roles, posts, job openings. The history is kept.
-
You see the changes
A new role, a move to another company, a new job opening or post. You get notifications about changes.
-
You or your agent decide what to do
Review the changes yourself or hand them to a connected AI agent. The result goes to your CRM, a report or a personal dashboard.
Why the data is collected in advance
Link Browser makes the information easy to work with: the data on your list is already collected and stored with its history. Neither you nor your agent has to open LinkedIn pages again each time.
-
See the history of changes
Role changes, team growth and new post topics are visible over time. A LinkedIn page itself shows only today's state.
-
Collection spends no LLM tokens
Collecting and updating data uses no tokens. Your agent's budget goes to the task itself.
-
Your agent starts with ready context
For a new question, the agent does not need to revisit pages. It gets information that has already been collected.
-
The agent is optional
Browse the data, find what you need and track changes yourself. Connect an agent when you need help.

A change on LinkedIn is a reason to check. On its own, it does not prove a company's intentions.
Careful, and under your control
-
Within LinkedIn's limits
Link Browser operates inside the limits LinkedIn itself sets and does not try to work around them.
-
Your data is stored on your Mac
The information collected is stored on your computer and is not sent to Link Browser servers.
-
You decide
You choose which actions your AI agent is allowed to take, and you can stop data collection at any time.
No tool can guarantee zero risk. Link Browser is designed to act cautiously.

Your data, your right
Everything Link Browser collects belongs to you. You can export it at any time. We stand for users' right to work with their own data and hand tasks to their own agents. And we advocate for LinkedIn's rules to recognise this way of working.
Questions and answers
What is Link Browser?
A Mac app for following people and companies on LinkedIn. It regularly collects the data available to you, keeps its history, shows what has changed and makes the information easy to work with. You can work with it on your own or together with your AI agent. Link Browser also handles routine tasks: finding people by job title, industry and location, and birthday wishes to your connections.
What data does Link Browser collect?
Only what is available to you on LinkedIn: people's profiles and career changes, posts and the available reactions to them, companies' job openings.
Where do the results go?
To your CRM, a report or a personal dashboard. You can export all the collected data.
How much does Link Browser cost?
Link Browser is free for now.
Which platforms does Link Browser work with?
We are starting with LinkedIn. Next, we plan to add Reddit, Facebook and other platforms. Each platform has its own integration, so you do not have to set up data collection manually.
Can I use it without an AI agent?
Yes, the agent is optional. You browse the data, find what you need and track changes yourself. When you need help, connect your agent to the context that is already prepared.
How does an AI agent work with Link Browser?
The agent is an external tool that you connect yourself. It gets data that has already been collected, along with its history, so it does not revisit pages, and collecting the data does not spend its LLM tokens. You decide which actions the agent is allowed to take.
How safe is it for my account?
Link Browser operates within LinkedIn's limits, pauses between actions and collects data gradually. You can see what the app is doing and stop collection at any time. No tool can guarantee zero risk, but Link Browser is designed to act cautiously.
Where is my data stored?
On your Mac. Your LinkedIn session stays on your device, the data collected is not sent to Link Browser servers, and you can export it.
What do I need to run it?
A Mac with an Apple Silicon chip (M1 or later) running macOS 13 or later, and your own LinkedIn account.
Feature on demand
Link Browser grows with the people who use it
Films were once watched on a broadcaster's schedule. Then video on demand arrived, and the choice moved to the viewer. We believe a product can evolve the same way — shaped by the people who use it. If there is something you miss in your work, tell us about it. We may be able to build it for you.
-
Tell us about the task
What you run into and what would help in your work.
-
Talk it through
If the idea fits, we work out together how to build it.
-
Start using it
The new capability arrives in your Link Browser.
-
Decide together
