Swappsy Link Tracker

Swappsy Link Tracker records backlink placements, target URLs, partners, and whether each link is pending, live, or removed. Each record can include anchor text, link type, deal type, and notes, along with do-follow, no-follow, or sponsored attributes and whether a link is free, exchanged, or paid. Users review pages and manually update statuses; the app does not check links automatically. Status summaries, filtering, and search help organize records, and CSV import and export support moving data in and out. The interface includes light and dark modes. The app is self-hosted on the web and uses a single-file SQLite database; its README says no external services are needed to run it. Documented setup options are local installation with npm and Docker Compose. Node.js 22 or newer is required. Access uses a single-user account configured with an admin email and password, along with a JWT secret for login tokens. The README says the configured admin password is hashed on first boot. The plan is Free and open source at free, with manual link checks and self-hosting.
