How it works

One idea, three moments

Most tools make you decide up front whether something is a note, a task, or a project. Linkloom doesn't ask - you capture first, and the rest follows as it actually happens. Here's what that looks like end to end, following one real example: a kitchen remodel.

STEP 1 · CAPTURE

Save it the moment you find it

You're reading about small-kitchen layouts on a home renovation site and it's actually useful. Paste the link into Linkloom and it fetches the title, a preview image, and the site's favicon automatically - no tagging, no folder, no "where does this go" decision required before you can move on with your day.

A capture doesn't have to be a link. Drop in a photo of a tile sample, jot a two-line thought, or - if you'd rather sketch it than write it - draw the layout you're picturing on a blank 8x10 canvas. All of it lands in the same place, ready to be found again by search or by tag.

STEP 2 · TASK

Turn it into a task when it actually matters

A saved idea sits quietly until it needs to become something you'll act on. When you're ready to get quotes, that same item - or a new one linked to it - gets a due date, a priority, and if it's the kind of thing that comes back around, a repeat rule: weekly, specific weekdays, monthly, whatever the task actually needs.

Complete it and, if it repeats, the next occurrence is already scheduled - nothing to re-create by hand. Turn on Google Calendar sync and it shows up there too, so a task in Linkloom doesn't mean checking a second app to see your day.

STEP 3 · BOARD

Watch it connect to everything else

The link, the task, the budget spreadsheet you dropped in, the photos of tile samples - none of it lives in a separate folder for "kitchen." Drag any two items together on the board and draw a real connection between them. Items that already share a tag show up connected automatically, without you drawing a single line.

Zoom out and the whole shape of the project is right there: what's decided, what's still open, what depends on what. It's the view a folder tree can't give you, because a folder tree makes you pick exactly one place for each thing.

Beyond the three steps

The workflow above covers the everyday loop. A few other things worth knowing about if you're deciding whether Linkloom fits how you work:

Search that actually finds things
Every capture is searchable by its content, not just its title - so "that article about slow productivity" finds it even if you never tagged it that way.
AI, entirely optional
Off by default. Turn on fully on-device suggestions, or opt into cloud AI with your own API key. Nothing is sent anywhere unless you choose to enable it.
Bring your own assistant
Connect Claude or another MCP-capable AI assistant directly to your Linkloom account, so it can search, create, and update items on your behalf.
Nine themes
From warm manila to a green CRT terminal. The board looks like a corkboard because that's the point - pick a theme that feels like your actual desk.
Nothing vanishes by accident
Deleting an item moves it to Trash first, not gone. And your full history exports to JSON, CSV, or Markdown any time you want a copy outside Linkloom.
Sketch when words aren't it
A dedicated drawing canvas - pencil, eraser, color - for the ideas that are easier to draw than describe. Sketches save, connect, and pin to the board like anything else.
