The link left at 1:32.
It should arrive at 1:32.

You paste a link and tell them "skip to the good part." Handoff Links does it for you — it tucks the timestamp, scroll position, or section right inside the URL, so the page opens exactly where you left off. Any device, any browser.

Them — opening the link
1:32

The context rides inside the link's #hl= fragment — never on a server.

Three clicks, start to finish

Capture the spot. Copy the link. Hand it off.

No setup, no sign-in. The context is written into the URL the moment you copy — and read back the moment it's opened.

01 / capture

Click the icon

On a supported page, open the Handoff Links popup. It reads the current spot — a video time or scroll position — right then and there.

02 / copy

Copy the enhanced link

The popup shows your URL with an added #hl=… tag. One click copies it to your clipboard.

03 / hand off

Share anywhere

Send it in chat, email, or notes. When anyone opens it, the page restores the exact spot automatically. Nothing to install on their end.

Not a mockup — real screenshots

See it working.

The popup captures the spot; the enhanced link carries it. Here's the extension running on a live YouTube video and a real GitHub page — look at the address bar for the #hl= token it produced.

▶ YouTube preserving a video timestamp
Handoff Links popup open on a YouTube video, showing the current URL, the enhanced URL, and an 'Enhanced link ready' confirmation.
capture→ enhanced link
The shared link's address bar — #hl= token attached:
YouTube address bar reading watch?v=Y2A4RTkT2no#hl= followed by an encoded token.

Open that link and the video seeks straight to the saved moment — no manual scrubbing.

GH GitHub preserving scroll position
Handoff Links popup open on a GitHub README, showing the current URL, the enhanced URL, and an 'Enhanced link ready' confirmation.
capture→ enhanced link
The shared link's address bar — #hl= token attached:
GitHub address bar reading github.com/wushu75/longce#hl= followed by an encoded token.

Open that link and the page scrolls back to where you were in the README automatically.

What it understands today

Two sites now. Built to learn more.

Each site is a small, self-contained "adapter." Anyone can write one — Figma, Notion, and Linear are on the way.

▶

YouTube

Captures the current playback time and seeks the video straight to it when the link opens.

GH

GitHub

Remembers how far down a long file or README you were, and scrolls back there on open.

Figma · planned

Viewport, zoom, or a selected node — so a design link lands on the frame you mean.

No

Notion · planned

Inner-scroll position or focused block inside a long page.

The whole point

Your context never leaves the link.

Most "share" tools route your data through their servers. Handoff Links doesn't have servers. The spot you captured is encoded into the URL fragment itself — the part of a link browsers never send over the network.

  • ✓ No account, ever — nothing to sign up for
  • ✓ No analytics, no telemetry, no cookies
  • ✓ No external requests of any kind
  • ✓ Three minimal permissions, fully auditable
// what actually gets shared
https://youtube.com/watch?v=…#hl=eyJ0eXBl…

// decoded, it's just this — locally
{ type: "youtube_timestamp",
  data: { t: 92 } }

// no server ever sees the #fragment
Ready in one click

Stop saying "skip to 1:32."

Install Handoff Links and every link you share already knows where to go.
