An app opener is a tool that creates smart links which open directly in mobile apps instead of web browsers. When someone clicks an app opener link, it bypasses in-app browsers (like those in Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok) and takes users straight to the native app where they're already logged in and ready to engage. This dramatically increases conversion rates for affiliate marketing, content promotion, and sales.

LinkTwin's app opener detects the user's device and installed apps, then automatically opens your link in the appropriate app (YouTube, Amazon, Spotify, etc.). If the app isn't installed, it gracefully falls back to the mobile browser. No coding required - just paste your URL and get an app-opening link instantly.

LinkTwin's app opener supports 100+ apps including YouTube, Amazon, Spotify, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, WhatsApp, Messenger, Twitter/X, Walmart, Target, Apple Music, Etsy, eBay, and many more. We continuously add support for new apps.

Yes! LinkTwin offers a free forever plan with unlimited app opener links and 1,000 clicks per month. Premium plans are available for higher traffic needs with unlimited clicks, custom branded domains, A/B testing, and advanced analytics. You can cancel anytime.

When you share links on social media, they typically open in clunky in-app browsers where users aren't logged in, can't subscribe, and often abandon the content. An app opener solves this by directing users to the native app where they're already logged in with payment methods saved, resulting in up to 200% higher conversion rates.

Yes! LinkTwin's app opener is specifically designed to work with links shared on Instagram (bio, stories, DMs) and TikTok. For TikTok, it works best with paid ads. We're actively working on solutions for organic TikTok traffic due to their browser restrictions.
