Share anything in your app as a link.
CapsuleCards turns content inside your mobile app into a single shareable link. It opens straight into your app with the real data for people who have it, and as a rich preview and a beautiful web page for everyone else.
Add it in an afternoon. No backend to build.
What was that soup you made on Sunday?
Opened straight into MealMate. Saved it 🙌
Your app's best content has no address.
A recipe, a workout, a packing list: things worth sharing live inside your app, where nobody else can reach them. So sharing falls back to a screenshot or a blob of text, and doing it properly means weeks of web servers, databases, landing pages, preview metadata and Universal Links.
Native content isn't linkable
An item in your app has no URL, so a friend without the app has nothing to open.
Sharing loses the data
Even between two people with your app, the recipient has to retype what they were sent.
Plain links look dead
Without the right metadata, a link unfurls blank in chat apps and gets fewer taps.
From Share button to shared link in four steps.
- 1
Add your app
Create a team, add your app's bundle ID, and pick a slug. You get a hostname like mealmate.capsule.cards and a key to ship in your app.
- 2
Make your models shareable
Add the Swift package and conform the things your users share, like a Recipe, to Shareable. A default share type works out of the box.
- 3
Share a link
When someone taps Share, one call creates a capsule and returns its URL. Hand it to the share sheet and they can send it anywhere.
- 4
Recipients get the real thing
Friends with your app open it straight in the app with the original data. Everyone else gets a beautiful web page and an invitation to install.
Everything a shared link needs, handled for you.
CapsuleCards owns the web side of sharing: storage, hosting, rendering, previews, Universal Links, crawler traffic and analytics. Your team stays focused on the app.
Opens right in your app
Universal Links route each capsule to the app that made it, and the SDK hands you a typed value to import. No retyping, no screenshots.
Rich previews everywhere
Correct Open Graph and Twitter Card metadata on every link, so it unfurls properly in iMessage, WhatsApp, Slack, Discord, X and the rest.
Beautiful by default
Every app starts with a responsive design that looks great with zero setup. Bring your own HTML when you want it to match your brand exactly.
Live, not a snapshot
Update a capsule and its card, preview and payload change in place at the same URL. Links people already shared keep working.
Attachments included
Attach photos, PDFs or GPX tracks. Files upload straight to storage, import into your app, and download from the web card.
Honest analytics
See how far each share travels: previews fetched by chat apps, opens on the web, and opens in your app, counted separately.
The app first. The web always.
Every link works for everyone. Nobody hits a dead end or a nag screen.
Has your app
The link opens your app directly and delivers the original structured data, ready to import in one tap.
Doesn't have it yet
They get a fast, responsive page in your app's design, with any attachments to download and a clear way to get the app. Often it's their first impression of you.
A small, sharp SDK.
Make a model shareable, call one method to get a link, and one method to turn an incoming link back into a value. Keys, uploads and schema versions are handled for you.

ShareLink(item: link.url)Questions, answered.
Who is CapsuleCards for?
Mobile app developers, especially indie developers and small teams, who want sharing to feel first-class without spending weeks on web and backend infrastructure.
Which platforms are supported?
The first SDK is for Apple platforms, in Swift. A REST API with a published OpenAPI schema makes CapsuleCards usable from any platform or server.
Do I need to run a server or a website?
No. CapsuleCards hosts the links, stores the data and attachments, renders the web pages and previews, and serves the Universal Links association file for your app.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes. Every app gets its own capsule.cards subdomain, and you can also serve capsules from a domain you own, such as share.yourapp.com.
Are shared capsules private?
Capsules are unlisted and never indexed by us, but anyone with the link can open them, just like any shared link. Don't put data in a capsule that must stay secret.
How do I get access?
