Social-to-app
Help social clicks reach your app
Links in creator bios, posts and stories often open inside a social app browser. Linkrunner uses an intermediary page to help visitors reach your installed app or the native store.

What you get
Keep social traffic moving toward the app
Linkrunner knows when a tap came from inside a social app
The user agent reveals the in-app browser, so the click gets the intermediary page, not a store web page.

Hear from our customers
Trusted by teams that care about more than attribution.
“The level of customisation that Linkrunner was able to offer was unmatched by any of the other competitors we looked at. Their team took the time to understand our exact requirements and delivered a solution that felt tailored to our needs, rather than forcing us into a fixed framework. That flexibility made a significant difference for us and was one of the key reasons Linkrunner stood out.”
