This how-to explains how to make use of the app shortcuts iOS app to create a share action that can be used in Safari for adding bookmarks to your linkding instance.
**In the shortcuts app:**
- create new shortcut
- go to shortcut details, enable to option to show the shortcut in share menu
- from the available share input types only select "URL"
- add Safari action "Show Web Page At"
- for URL enter your linkding instance URL and specifically point to the new bookmark form, then add the shortcut input variable from the list of suggested variables after the URL parameter. Visually it should look something like this: `https://linkding.mydomain.com/bookmarks/new?url=[Shortcut input]`, where `[Shortcut input]` is a visual block that was inserted after selecting the shortcut input variable suggestion. This is basically a placeholder that will get replaced with the actual URL that you want to bookmark. See screenshot at the end for an example on how this looks.
- save, give the shortcut a nice name + glyph
To install the shortcut:
- Download the [Shortcut](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sissbruecker/linkding/master/docs/Add%20To%20Linkding.shortcut) on your iOS device
- Tap the downloaded file, which brings up the Shortcuts app
- Confirm that you want to add the shortcut
- In the shortcut, change `https://linkding.mydomain.com` to the URL of your linkding instance
- Confirm / close the shortcut
Example of how the shortcut configuration should look:
To use the shortcut:
- Open Safari and navigate to the page you want to bookmark
- Tap the share button
- Scroll down and tap "Add To Linkding"
- This opens linkding in a Safari overlay where you can configure the bookmark
- When you're done, tap "Save"
- After the bookmark is saved you can close the overlay

**Using the share action from Safari:**
- browse to the website that you want to share
- click the share button
- your new app shortcut should now be available as share action
- select the app shortcut
- this should open a new Safari overlay showing the add bookmark form with the URL field prefilled
- after saving the bookmark you can close the overlay and continue browsing
At the bottom of the share sheet there is a button for configuring share actions. You can use this to move the "Add To Linkding" action to the top of the share sheet if you like.
