## Overview

- **Who it's for**: Linkinize targets teams and businesses that need to organize, search, and share bookmarked links across an organization, including agencies, IT/SecOps groups, and enterprises that require SSO/SAML and admin controls. Individuals can also use it as a personal bookmark manager, but the product and pricing are built around multi-member workspaces.
- **What you get**: Users get tag-based bookmark organization inside multiple team workspaces, an instant search box over bookmark names and descriptions, shareable public pages (Bio Link and Curated Collections), a browser extension with periodic automatic sync, AES-256 encryption at rest, and optional enterprise plugins for Confluence import, SAML SSO, and SCIM user provisioning.
- **How it works**: Users install the browser extension or use the web app to save links into a workspace with tags and descriptions; bookmarks import from a browser's exported bookmarks HTML file, and the extension syncs a workspace's bookmarks to all members roughly every 30 minutes (with a manual sync option). Workspace admins can publish a subset of bookmarks as a public page, and enterprise organizations can layer on SSO, SCIM provisioning, and role-based permissions.
