Browser extension

What this is

The Linkchime Chrome extension creates a short link for the page you are on (or a link you right-click) and copies it. It uses a workspace API key — the same keys as the Developer API.

Before you start

• API access is on your plan.
• You are the workspace owner (only owners can create API keys).
• Chrome or Edge (Manifest V3).

Steps

1. Create an API key under Workspace Settings → Developer API. Copy it once.
2. Load the unpacked extension from the extension/ folder (chrome://extensions → Developer mode → Load unpacked), or install it from the Chrome Web Store when it is published.
3. Open Options from the toolbar icon.
4. Paste the key and click Save and test.
5. On any http/https tab, click the toolbar icon → Create & copy, right-click the page or a link, or press Alt+Shift+L.

What happens next

The short URL is copied to the clipboard. Recent links from this device appear in the popup. Open a created link in the app from the success row when you need Insights or further edits.

Optional fields in the popup: title, custom slug, and a verified custom domain. The default domain can be set in Options.

Privacy

The key and recent URLs stay in chrome.storage.local on this device. Creating a link sends the destination URL (and optional title or slug) to https://api.linkchime.com. The extension does not inject scripts into web pages. See the privacy policy.
