What Swappsy Link Tracker is

Swappsy Link Tracker is a self-hosted web app for recording exchanged backlinks and keeping track of their placement, target URLs, partners, and status. Each record can include anchor text, link type, deal type, and notes, as well as whether the link is do-follow, no-follow, or sponsored and whether it is free, exchanged, or paid. Users review pages and manually mark links pending, live, or removed; the app does not check them automatically. Status summaries, filters, and search help organize link records, and CSV import and export support moving data in and out. The app has light and dark modes and stores its data in a single-file SQLite database. The README says no external services are needed. Documented setup options are local installation with npm or Docker Compose; Node.js 22 or newer is required. Access uses one account configured with an admin email and password, plus a JWT secret for login tokens. The README says the configured admin password is hashed on first boot. The free plan is free.
