When I first joined Bluesky, one of the first things I wanted to do was share a few links in my profile. Nothing crazy. Just my site, a project I’m working on, and a couple social profiles. But I quickly realized there wasn’t a great way to do that without relying on tools that track users or feel bloated.
So I built one.
A simple fix that doesn’t track people
BareLink is something I made for myself first. I just wanted a fast, no-nonsense link in bio page that didn’t require an account or load trackers. No sign-up. No analytics. No ads. Just a way to list links, copy the URL, and share it.
It ended up being something other people might want too. Especially folks on Bluesky, who tend to care about privacy and digital autonomy.
How I added it to my Bluesky profile
Here’s exactly what I did:
- Went to barelink.xyz
- Added the links I wanted to share
- Copied the URL it gave me
- Opened the Bluesky app
- Edited my profile and pasted the link in the "website" field
That’s it. Now my Bluesky bio links to a clean, lightweight page with everything I want to share. No tracking junk attached.
Why I didn’t use the usual platforms
Linktree and similar tools are fine for what they are. But most of them come with scripts, cookies, and analytics I’d rather avoid. If you’re using a platform like Bluesky because you care about decentralization and control, it feels strange to rely on tools that collect data in the background.
I wanted something simpler. More aligned with the spirit of Bluesky. So I built it.
Try it if you're in the same boat
If you’ve been looking for a Bluesky link in bio solution that doesn’t feel like a growth-hacking funnel, BareLink might be what you’re after.
No dashboards. No login. No upsells. Just your links, on a clean page that respects your visitors.
P.S.
I'm planning to share more small tools like this. Things that make Bluesky and other decentralized platforms more usable, without compromising on privacy. Nothing fancy. Just personal stuff that might be useful to others too.
