The privacy-first link-in-bio for creators who also need to protect what they post.
Linktree is the platform that defined the link-in-bio category. It gives you one page to collect all your links, with a polished editor, a big template library, and integrations for tips, music and commerce. It's the default for mainstream creators and brands — but it's a general-purpose tool, not built around protecting the content you share.
We're biased — but honest.
Linktree is fine if all you need is a tidy list of links. But it does nothing to protect the content you're linking to, its free page carries Linktree branding, and its policies can be unforgiving to creators in less mainstream niches. Obsydian starts where Linktree stops: the same unlimited-link page, plus watermarking and metadata scrubbing built in, on a platform that won't deplatform you for your niche.
