Paste a YouTube, Spotify, Twitch, Amazon or other supported link.
How to open a link in the native app
Use the smart link in your bio or description; use the others on pages you control.
- 1
Paste your regular link
Copy the YouTube, Spotify, Twitch, Amazon, Instagram or other supported URL from your browser.
- 2
Copy the smart link
It opens a tiny launcher page that works out whether the visitor is on iOS or Android and tries the right app link.
- 3
Add it to your bio or story
Replace the original URL in your Instagram, TikTok or X bio. Visitors tap once and land in the logged-in app.
No platform can force an app to open in every environment — the smart link maximises the chance and always has a fallback.
Private by design
Everything runs in your browser. What you type is never uploaded or stored.
Instant & free
No signup, no watermark and no expiring links — the QR encodes your link directly.
Print-ready
Download the QR as PNG/SVG or print a styled card for tables, stickers and packaging.
Open-in-app link FAQ
Why do links open in a different browser inside Instagram or TikTok?
Those apps open links in their own in-app browser (a webview) where visitors usually aren't signed in. A deep link or intent link asks the phone to hand the URL to the native app instead.
Does a deep link work everywhere?
Android intent links work in Chrome and most in-app browsers. iOS custom schemes work from Safari and many apps, but some in-app browsers block them. In that case the smart link shows an 'Open in browser' hint and a fallback button.
What if the app isn't installed?
The Android intent includes a fallback URL, and the smart link falls back to the normal web page, so visitors are never stuck on a blank screen.
Is the smart link safe to share?
Yes. It only works for the listed platforms and never redirects to arbitrary sites.
