Deep Links
Open the app, not just the website.
Mobile deep linking opens your iOS or Android app on the exact screen — with iOS Universal Links, Android App Links, an app-store fallback and deferred deep linking. It even works after install, and comes with analytics and a developer API.
Universal & App Links
Silent app opens on iOS and Android — we host the association files for you.
Smart routing
App → app store → web. Every tap has a destination, no dead ends.
Deferred deep linking
Tapped before installing? Land them on the right screen after first open.
Analytics & API
Track opens, store taps and web fallbacks — plus a REST API, keys and webhooks.
Mobile deep linking opens your iOS or Android app on the exact screen — a product, a profile, or a checkout — instead of dumping people on a homepage or app-store page. It uses iOS Universal Links and Android App Links (we host the association files for you), with smart app → app store → web routing so there are no dead ends. It even works after install, with deferred deep linking.
Deep Links is a dedicated lynkily product with its own free-to-start plans, deep-link analytics, and a developer REST API with keys and webhooks. Explore it on the Deep Links page or see Deep Links pricing.
How mobile deep linking works
When you create a link, lynkily detects the visitor's device and routes them to the in-app destination if the app is installed, or to a sensible fallback if it isn't. One link handles iOS, Android, and desktop without separate URLs for each.
- Opens the exact in-app screen when the app is present
- Falls back to the app store or web when it isn't
- One short link covers every platform and device
Key capabilities
Every paid plan pairs deep linking with the device and location insights you need to understand mobile traffic. See where taps come from and how they convert.
- City and device-level insights on every link
- Campaign tracking to attribute installs and opens
- Works with branded links, QR codes, and your link-in-bio

A real use-case
A mobile app runs a push campaign promoting a limited-time offer. The deep link drops existing users straight onto the offer screen inside the app, while people without it land on the correct app store to install — then continue to the offer. Fewer drop-offs, higher conversion, and with device and city insights the team can see exactly which regions responded best.
