## How to find any saved link by meaning, not just title with Linkit

Repo: [blue-idea/linkit](https://github.com/blue-idea/linkit) | Difficulty: Beginner | Time: 15 minutes | Basis: From the README

Import browser bookmarks and search by concept with AI summaries and semantic search.

**Who it is for:** A researcher with thousands of bookmarks spread across browsers.

**The problem:** Saved links become a graveyard you never search.

**The outcome:** A searchable library with AI summaries of each link.

### Steps

1. Install with `brew install blue-idea/tap/linkit`
2. Import from Chrome, Firefox, Edge or Safari
3. Connect an OpenAI-compatible API or Ollama
4. Search by meaning across titles, notes and summaries

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
Install blue-idea/linkit, import my <browser> bookmarks, connect Ollama, and search for <concept>. Return the top five links and confirm each has an AI summary.
```

### Caveat

AI features need your own API or a local model; without one it works as a plain bookmark manager.

## How to clean dead and duplicate links from your library with Linkit

Repo: [blue-idea/linkit](https://github.com/blue-idea/linkit) | Difficulty: Beginner | Time: 15 minutes | Basis: From the README

Run link health checks and duplicate detection to prune your bookmarks.

**Who it is for:** Someone whose bookmark collection is full of broken links.

**The problem:** Broken and duplicate links clutter the library.

**The outcome:** A tidy library with dead and duplicate links flagged.

### Steps

1. Open Linkit with your imported library
2. Run link health checks
3. Review duplicate detection results
4. Delete or fix flagged links

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
In Linkit, run link health checks and duplicate detection, then list dead and duplicate links. Confirm the counts before deleting.
```

### Caveat

Health checks need network access to test each link.

## How to sync your bookmark library across devices for free with Linkit

Repo: [blue-idea/linkit](https://github.com/blue-idea/linkit) | Difficulty: Beginner | Time: 15 minutes | Basis: From the README

Sign in to the free cloud sync to keep bookmarks, collections and tags in sync.

**Who it is for:** A user switching between a work laptop and a home desktop.

**The problem:** Cross-device sync is often paywalled.

**The outcome:** The same library on every device.

### Steps

1. Install Linkit on each device
2. Sign in to cloud sync
3. Organize collections and tags on one device
4. Confirm they appear on the other

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
Enable Linkit cloud sync on two devices, add a bookmark on one, and confirm it appears on the other.
```

### Caveat

Sync is optional; data is stored locally in SQLite by default.
