Transcript: Your new single is out. Or a fresh podcast episode. So you post the link everywhere. But on Instagram, that link opens in a built-in browser, not in Spotify. Fans aren't logged in there. So they can't follow you. They can't save the song to their library. Or add it to a playlist. Most of them just leave. And that's a stream, a save, and a follower gone. Meet LinkTwin. It turns your music and podcast links into links that open right in the listener's app. Spotify links open in Spotify, logged in, ready to follow and save. Apple Music links open in Apple Music. And new episodes open in Apple Podcasts or Spotify, where following the show takes one tap. On paid plans, one link can cover every platform. Each listener picks their app. SoundCloud, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, Deezer, Tidal, Pocket Casts, Overcast, and more. And see where your listeners click from, so you know which posts really work. Copy your link. Paste it into LinkTwin. Share it in your bio, stories, and release posts. Free to start. LinkTwin: your music, in the right app.

The Music Promotion Killer

In-App Browsers Are Killing Your Music Growth

When you share Spotify or Apple Music links on Instagram, they open in a broken browser. Fans can't follow you, can't add songs to playlists, and often just leave.

Instagram, TikTok, Threads and Facebook open every link in their own built-in browser. Your fans are not logged in to Spotify or Apple Music there, so each follow, save and playlist add hits a login screen first.

TikTok never lets a link out on its own, so LinkTwin shows a short guide to TikTok's own Open in browser, two taps away. On X, it takes one tap on iPhone, and app links open directly on Android. If an app is not installed, the visitor gets the normal web page.

  1. Copy your music link

    In Spotify, Apple Music or your podcast app, tap Share and copy the link to your song, album, playlist, artist profile or episode.

  2. Paste it into LinkTwin

    Paste it into the box at the top of this page. LinkTwin gives you a short linktw.in link that opens the right app.

  3. Share it everywhere

    Put it in your bio, Stories, release posts, newsletters and DMs. Every tap opens the app, ready to play.

For musicians

Music Links That Open the App Fans Already Use.

LinkTwin is the music link app for artists who promote on social. Paste a Spotify or Apple Music link to a single, album, playlist or artist profile, and fans land in the app with the Follow button and the heart one tap away.

  • Follow, then Following.Fans follow your artist profile in the app they already use, so your next release reaches them there.
  • Saved in one tap.The heart and Add to playlist work at once, because fans are already logged in.
  • Every kind of music link.Tracks, albums, playlists, artist pages, YouTube Music videos and SoundCloud uploads.

Music videos on YouTube? YouTube app links open them in the YouTube app, where fans can subscribe.

For podcasters

Podcast Links That Open in Apple Podcasts, Spotify and More.

Promote a new episode on Instagram or TikTok with a normal link and listeners end up in a browser player they never come back to. A LinkTwin podcast link opens the episode in Apple Podcasts, Spotify or Pocket Casts, where following the show takes one tap and every new episode lands in their library.

Apple Podcasts, Overcast and Castro are iPhone apps, so on Android an Apple Podcasts link opens the episode's web page. To reach Android listeners in their own app, share your Spotify or Pocket Casts link, or one link where each listener picks their app. Paid plans

A Music Link Shortener That Opens the App.

Long links look messy in a bio and get cut off in captions. LinkTwin turns open.spotify.com, music.apple.com and soundcloud.com links into music short links like linktw.in/newsingle. It is an Apple Music link shortener, a Spotify link shortener and a SoundCloud link shortener in one, and every short link to music still opens the app.

Your artist name in every link

Put your name on every link with a custom branded domain such as music.yourname.com, with free SSL.

QR codes for posters and merch

Print a QR code on posters, flyers, merch and the screen behind the stage. A scan opens the app, just like a tap.

Short links that still open the app

Every link from the LinkTwin link shortener is also a deep link, so short never means stuck in a browser.

Music & Podcast Questions

Everything you need to know about music app links and deep linking for artists. Still have questions? Contact us

Which streaming platforms does LinkTwin support?

LinkTwin supports all major streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, YouTube Music, Tidal, Deezer, Amazon Music and Pandora. For podcasts, links open in Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Pocket Casts, Overcast, Castbox and more. See our complete list of supported apps.

Will this help me get more Spotify followers?

It removes the biggest obstacle. When fans tap your LinkTwin link, they land directly in the Spotify app, where they are already logged in. The Follow button works on the first tap, and saving your song to their library takes one more. In an in-app browser the same fan has to log in first, and many give up there.

Does it work for podcast episodes?

Yes! LinkTwin works perfectly for podcasts. Share episode links that open directly in Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your listeners' preferred app. Great for promoting new episodes on social media.

Is LinkTwin free for artists?

Yes. LinkTwin has a free forever plan with 10 links and 500 clicks a month, and no credit card is needed. Most independent artists start free and upgrade when they need more clicks for bigger releases, or features like custom domains and A/B testing.

How do I make a Spotify link open in the app?

In Spotify, tap Share and copy the link to your song, album, playlist or artist profile. Paste it into LinkTwin and share the short link it gives you. When fans tap it on a phone with Spotify installed, the Spotify app opens on that page instead of a browser.

Can I shorten Apple Music links?

Yes. Paste any music.apple.com link to a song, album, playlist or artist page and LinkTwin turns it into a short link that opens the Apple Music app. Think of it as an Apple Music link generator that also counts every click.

Can one link open Spotify for some fans and Apple Music for others?

Yes, on every plan. A LinkTwin music link opens a simple page with your cover art that lists your release on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, Deezer, Tidal and more. Each fan taps the app they use, and it opens with your song ready to play. It works for podcasts too.

Does it work with YouTube Music and SoundCloud?

Yes. YouTube Music links open the YouTube Music app and SoundCloud links open the SoundCloud app, on iPhone and Android. That also makes LinkTwin a SoundCloud link shortener: paste a soundcloud.com link and share the short version.

Do podcast links work on Android?

Yes, when the link points to an app that runs on Android. Spotify, Pocket Casts and Castbox links open their Android apps. Apple Podcasts, Overcast and Castro are iPhone apps, so on Android their links open the episode's web page. To send every listener to their own app, use one podcast link where each listener picks their app (paid plans).

What happens if a fan does not have the app?

They get the normal web page for your song or episode, the same page the original link opens. Nothing breaks, and the click still shows up in your stats.
