Create deep links that send users straight to specific content inside your app — without SDK integration, config files, or an app update. Set it up in 2 minutes.
Free plan included — no credit card required
Three steps happen in milliseconds — completely invisible to your users.
A single URL you share anywhere — Instagram bio, email, ad, QR code. Works in every browser and every in-app webview.
We identify the platform (iOS, Android, desktop), attempt to open your app via URI scheme deep link, and handle in-app browser quirks automatically.
If the app is installed, it opens directly to the right content. If not, the user lands on the App Store or Google Play to download it.
Full deep linking capability without the integration tax.
URI scheme deep links
Enter your app's URI scheme and we handle the rest
Automatic store fallback
If the app isn't installed, users land in the right app store
In-app browser handling
Works correctly in Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and every in-app browser
Click analytics
See clicks by device, platform, referrer, and country in real time
Setup time: 2 minutes
SDK integration
Install a native SDK for iOS and Android, initialize on launch, handle callbacks
apple-app-site-association file
Host a JSON file at /.well-known/ on your domain, configure Associated Domains in Xcode
Android App Links config
Host assetlinks.json, add intent filters to AndroidManifest.xml, verify domain ownership
Weeks of setup and debugging
Test across devices, debug why links open Safari instead of your app, wait for app store review
Setup time: 1-3 weeks
Three fields. That's the entire setup.
Your app's custom URI scheme for iOS
Your app's custom URI scheme for Android
Where desktop users or users without the app should land
Your smart deep link: smartapplinks.com/your-app/product-123
iOS users open the app to product #123. Android users open the app to product #123. Desktop users go to your website. Users without the app land in the store.
Common questions about deep links and how they work.
A deep link is a URL that opens a specific screen or piece of content inside a mobile app instead of the app's home screen. For example, myapp://product/123 could open product #123 directly. Deep links create a seamless experience — users tap a link and land exactly where they need to be inside your app.
Not with Smart App Links. Traditional deep linking solutions like Branch.io or Firebase Dynamic Links require you to install a native SDK, configure it for iOS and Android, and ship an app update. Smart App Links handles deep linking server-side — you paste your URI scheme, and we generate a smart link that attempts to open the app. No SDK, no code changes, no app store review.
Deep links use custom URI schemes (like myapp://path) to open an app directly. Universal Links (iOS) and Android App Links use standard HTTPS URLs with server-side configuration files (apple-app-site-association and assetlinks.json). Universal links are more reliable when the app is installed but require hosting config files and setting up Associated Domains. Smart App Links gives you the benefits of both: we handle URI scheme deep links with intelligent fallback to the app store when the app isn't installed.
If your app already supports a custom URI scheme (most apps do — check your iOS URL Types or Android intent filters), you can create deep links today without any app update. Just enter your existing URI scheme in our generator (e.g., myapp://product/123) and we create a smart link that attempts to open that URI. If the app isn't installed, users are redirected to the app store automatically.
No SDK. No config files. No app update. Just paste your URI scheme and share the link.
