🌿 Linkleaf
Your link-in-bio page on your own domain. No branding, no rent.
Linktree charges $5–9/month to host what is, at heart, one small page — and stamps its own branding on the free tier. Linkleaf is that page on your own domain: 6 themes, drag-to-reorder blocks, link scheduling, email capture into your own database, and analytics nobody else can see or sell.
Linkleaf, as it actually looks — a real screenshot, not a mockup.
Features
Full profile
Avatar upload, display name, bio and a social icon row covering 12 networks.
Blocks
Links with optional thumbnails and hover animation, headers/dividers, embedded YouTube, and email-collect blocks.
Drag to reorder
Grab the grip, drop, done — order saves automatically.
Link scheduling
Give any block a start/end date — launch-day links and limited drops handle themselves.
6 polished themes
Gradient, glass, minimal light, dark, neon, paper — plus custom accent color, custom background and a custom CSS box for full control.
Email capture + CSV export
Subscribers land in your SQLite database with one-click CSV export. Your list is yours.
Analytics you own
Page views, clicks per link, CTR and a 30-day chart. Not sold to anyone.
Fast, private public page
Server-rendered HTML with self-hosted fonts — the public page makes zero external requests. SEO meta + Open Graph included.
Linkleaf vs Linktree
Linktree at $5–9/mo runs roughly $84/year — $168 over two years. Linkleaf is $19, once.

Honest answers
Is it really free on GitHub?
Yes — MIT source at github.com/bensblueprints/link-in-bio, always. $19 buys the packaged installer, 1-click setup and updates.
Do I need a server?
For a public page, yes — a $5 VPS with the included Docker setup. Even VPS + Linkleaf in year one costs about what Linktree charges, and after that the app itself is free forever. Desktop mode works for building and previewing your page.
Can I migrate from Linktree?
There's no automatic importer — honestly. You re-add your links in the admin panel; most pages take under ten minutes to rebuild, and then you never pay rent on them again.
Is the public page fast?
Yes — it's server-rendered plain HTML with self-hosted fonts and zero external requests. No framework payload, no Google Fonts ping, no trackers. It loads instantly on mobile.
What happens to my page if Linkleaf disappears?
Nothing — it's running on your server from MIT-licensed source, with your data in one SQLite file and an uploads folder. Back up = copy two things.
Deep-dive comparisons:
