Core Features

Browser Management

Control exactly which web browsers are presented to you and how they are handled.

Modes

• Always Ask: The standard behavior. LinkSheet lists all available browsers and lets you choose every time.
• Single Browser (Specify): Skips the selection list entirely and always opens links in one specific browser you choose. Useful if you want LinkSheet for app handling but have a single preferred browser.
• Whitelisted: Only displays browsers you have explicitly selected. Useful to hide "webview" browsers or secondary browsers you rarely use.
• None (Native Only): Hides all browsers from the list. If a native app (e.g., Reddit) is found, it is shown; otherwise, fallback behavior applies.

Unified vs. Split Settings

• Unified: Use the same browser preferences for both standard links and "In-App" links (links opened from inside other apps).
• Split: Configure different behaviors for In-App links. For example, you might want a lightweight browser for quick checks inside apps, but your full browser for main browsing.

Auto-Launch

• Single App: If LinkSheet detects only one valid app to handle a link (and it's a native app, not a generic browser), it can launch it automatically without showing the sheet.

App Handling

LinkSheet excels at restoring the "Open with" functionality for native apps.

Preferred Apps

• Host Preferences: You can assign specific apps to handle specific domains.
  • Example: Set twitter.com to always open in "Fenix" instead of the official Twitter app or Chrome.
• Domain Verification (Android 12+):
  • The Problem: Android 12+ "locks" links to their official apps (e.g., YouTube links always open in YouTube) if they are "Verified", bypassing LinkSheet.
  • The Solution: LinkSheet lists these apps and provides a shortcut to disable their "Open supported links" setting in Android Settings, allowing LinkSheet to intercept those links again.

LinkSheet Compat

• Native Interception: Some apps (like Google Search) hardcode checks for the official YouTube app. LinkSheet Compat is a feature that pretends to be these official apps, intercepting the intent and routing it back to LinkSheet, giving you back control.
  • Setup: Requires selecting "LinkSheet Compat" as the handler for specific domains if prompted.

Sorting & Usage

• Usage Stats [Impact: Low/Local]:

  • Sorts the app list by your most frequently used apps.
  • Requirement: Requires granting "Usage Access" permission in Android System Settings.

• Last Used: Highlights or suggests the app you used last for a specific domain.

• History Sorting: Sort your link history by date, frequency, or alphabetically.

• Bottom Sheet Search: Quickly find the app you need with a built-in search bar in the app selection sheet.

Performance & Network Impact 🌐

To help you balance functionality and speed, features that interact with the network are marked with 🌐.

Feature	Impact	Why?
URL Metadata	Medium	Fetches site title/image (requires 1 request)
Redirect Resolution	High	Follows multiple HTTP jumps
External Resolver	High	Requests a 3rd party API (Supabase)
MIME Detection	Low	Optimized HEAD request to detect file types (e.g., .apk, .zip)
Amp2Html (Remote)	Medium	Requests an external conversion service

Note: All network requests respect your system's data and battery saving settings.
