Executive Summary
Links 2.0 is a thoughtfully designed link manager for iPhone. It provides a fast, minimal, privacy-focused way to save and organize links without clutter or distraction. The app stands out in a crowded space filled with heavy read-later tools and bloated productivity apps by offering something users increasingly desire: simplicity, speed, and peace of mind. Strengthening the messaging around the emotional value—clarity, calm, and control—can deepen resonance with its primary audience.
Ideal Customer
Primary ICP: iPhone users who frequently save resources—articles, tutorials, tools, recipes, videos—and want a clean, reliable place to revisit them. This includes developers, students, creators, and lifelong learners.
Goals: Save quickly, avoid losing good content, organize effortlessly, and return to important links without friction.
Frustrations: Bookmarks become messy, notes apps become dumping grounds, links get lost in chats, and read-later apps feel overwhelming.
BELT Framework
BELT is a simple four-part model (Behavior, Enduring, Lock-ins, Transient) that explains why customers behave the way they do. It helps confirm whether the product solves the right problem for the ICP. Full guide: https://growthpigeon.com/articles/why-most-saas-products-fail-belt-framework.
- Behavior: People save links in scattered places—notes, chats, screenshots, bookmarks—but rarely revisit them.
- Enduring: A desire for a simple, private, organized space that reduces digital clutter.
- Lock-ins: Once a user adopts a single trusted place to save everything, switching becomes undesirable.
- Transient: Daily discoveries, research sessions, and incoming recommendations create constant need for fast capture.
