Community packs

Clink Community

With Clink Pro, open Community in the settings list on Home or from General to browse shared creations or submit your own for review. Community buttons and source tabs only appear while you have Pro access, including lifetime purchases and eligible legacy purchases. You can also browse approved listings on the website: open Community from the navigation bar, then filter by app or category. Each website entry has a QR code button beside Open in Clink. Open it to scan the code from your laptop with your phone, take a screenshot, or choose Save QR image. Follow the link, then review and confirm the import in Clink. Clink is currently the only app with Community sharing. Opening a Community link in the app requires Clink Pro; without it, Clink shows membership options. In the app, selecting Community beside repository sources replaces the results in the current picker, just like a repository. Search and browse there without opening another catalogue screen. Themes also includes Aesthetics. Choose an item, review its preview and details, then tap Import. Existing repositories remain another way to find packs.

Community on Android

In Android test builds, open Community below the settings list on Home, or from the app Settings sheet. Choose Browse or Your uploads, select All or a category, use Search to narrow the loaded results, and choose More to see further creations. Inside a library, the Community source shows only its results below the existing source picker and search. Themes use keyboard previews with a download button, layouts show compact keyboard diagrams, sounds use switch cards with a separate Play button, and fonts and profiles use small tiles. Plugins, actions, panels and languages use rows with their details. Touch and hold a creation for Report creation, or Remove for your own uploads. Share to Community and Your uploads are in the main Community browser. Approved listings can be browsed with an internet connection even when Clink was installed directly as an APK.

On Android, opening a shared creation shows a full-screen import preview. Review it, then choose Import, or use Close, Cancel or Android Back to leave without importing. Theme and layout previews opened from QR codes also fill the screen. Importing creations, sharing and Your uploads require Google Play verification. Use a Clink test build supplied through Google Play for these actions. A directly installed debug APK cannot complete that verification. If browsing works but one of these actions says Community is unavailable, retrying or reinstalling the same debug APK will not enable it. You can still export your own creations as files and use supported file imports.

What a repository is

Clink reads packs from public GitHub repositories. You add one by name, Clink reads its latest release, and every file is verified before it is installed. Nothing is uploaded, and nothing of yours runs on a server.

It is somewhere packs are published, not an account you sign in to. You add it by name, and it becomes another shelf inside the app.

Add repository

Settings path: General › Repositories

1. Open General, then Repositories, and add owner/repository.
2. Open the tab for the kind of pack you want and pull to refresh.
3. Tap one to download. Clink verifies it, then installs it like any other pack.

Enter owner/repository, github.com/owner/repository, or the full HTTPS URL. Clink checks the repository and its downloads before installing a pack.

Browse repositories

Browse repositories lists the official ones by kind, with community entries beside them. Adding one is a tap. In Plugins, added repository tabs appear after Clink finds available actions, panels or plugins. A repository containing only themes does not appear there.

In expanded layout, theme, profile, font and language collections, Search appears beside the arrow next to Library. It searches across the collection’s chips and available catalogs from the official and added repositories. In Plugins, search also includes installed items and all kinds: actions, panels, plugins and automations. The source chips sit in a separate row below Library and Search; swipe horizontally to reach more sources. Searching does not install anything. Clear Search to return to your selected chip, or choose a chip to leave search and browse it. In Android testing builds, this expanded search is available in themes, keyboard layouts, the theme editor’s font collection and Plugins.

Panels, actions and plugins ask twice

Adding a repository is enough for data packs: themes, layouts, profiles, sounds, fonts and languages. Panels, actions and plugins carry logic, so each repository needs a switch of its own before Clink will install any of them, and the app asks the first time.

Updates, and taking one away

Pull to refresh a repository’s tab and anything new in its latest release appears. A pack you have already downloaded stays on your phone until you remove it yourself.

Sharing your own

Use the share or export option in Clink to send something you made. The person receiving it can open the file in Clink.
