Deep Links

Mimestream provides a deep linking feature to enable you to easily reference your messages and threads from other apps.

To copy a message link, you can simply press āŒ˜C on a thread or message. Alternatively, you can use the context menu of a message and choose Copy Link. Deep links can be made to either an entire thread, or a specific message.

You can also choose the Send Link to option, which allows you to share a link to another app. To customize which apps can receive links, youā€™ll need to go to System Settings, go into Privacy & Security, choose ā€œExtensionsā€, choose ā€œSharingā€, and enable the sharing extension for the apps that youā€™d like to be able to send deep links to.

FAQs

Why a https URL rather than a mimestream:// URL?

Mimestreamā€™s deep links utilize Appleā€™s Universal Link technology, which is strongly recommended as the preferred format for deep linking. There are some practical advantages to https-based universal links, rather than custom URL schemes:

Yes, with Mimestream installed, universal links can still be used when your system is offline. When you click on the URL, macOS will open the link directly in Mimestream, without opening your web browser.

No, Mimestreamā€™s deep links are private, and canā€™t be shared publicly. If you share a Mimestream deep link with somebody who does not have access to the account holding the message, they will be unable to view the message.

Does links.mimestream.com have access to my account?

No, the web service at links.mimestream.com does not have access to your account or the messageā€™s content. It is simply a link redirection service. The only information that the service sees about your message is what is directly in the URL itself.
