LinkLib was created by a small team led by filmmaker Simon Klose who faced a problem in filmmaking. While creating his documentary TPB AFK: The Pirate Bay Away From Keyboard, Simon couldn't squeeze in all the stories about the broad and complex copyright debate into his 85 minute film. He wanted a way to integrate links into the film without taking away from the viewing experience. This is when your phone came in. The “second screen” feed was developed, LinkLib was born, and the rest is, well...just getting started.

Links are integrated into videos through the LinkLib timeline, a simple, easy-to-use tool. As you watch the video, links appear on your smartphone or tablet based on its location in the LinkLib timeline.
After you select a video click the “Connect” button. Using your smartphone or tablet, scan the code with any free QR reader. Ta da! You’re synced. Now you can full screen the film and read the links on your phone. If you play the video in your browser you’ll see the links to the right of the film.
