yala
smart links · landing pages · for music people

smart links, made simple.

a release lands in a dozen places at once — spotify, apple, all of them. yala pulls them into one page that takes its colors from your cover art and sends each fan straight to the service they already use.

the handoff is quick enough that no one notices a redirect happened — they just arrive where they meant to go. you paste one link; it ships in a tap.

free for your first 5 links · no credit card · scans 30+ DSPs.

for fans

what fans see is the whole point.

every yala link is a single landing page that themes itself with your cover art and shows the smallest set of options that matters. one tap, one app, one beat. fans end up where they were going to end up anyway — just without the cul-de-sac.

no wall of buttons. no analytics theater. no badge-of-the-week. the page exists to disappear.

  • the colors come from your cover art, automatically. no theme picker, no fiddling.
  • it loads instantly, wherever in the world the fan happens to be.
  • the right service first, by country. spotify-first in the US, deezer-first in france, bandcamp-first when you say so.

step one · paste

you paste one URL.

spotify link, apple link, a UPC — whatever you’ve got. yala checks every major service at once and, usually in under two seconds, comes back with every place the release lives.

you confirm. drag to reorder. hide the ones you don’t care about. add bandcamp by hand if we missed it. then ship.

step two · watch the room

you see who showed up.

after the link goes out, every tap shows up here. visits, clicks, where they came from, which app they ended up in — the few numbers that matter, big at the top.

counted without tracking anyone — no fingerprinting, no following fans around the web, not even a cookie required. you get the signal; your fans keep their privacy. export to CSV on any paid plan.

step three · don't choose one

you stop picking a winner.

fans on ios get apple. fans in tel aviv get youtube music. fans on the desktop go where you prefer them. all three rules can live on a single link, and it answers fast enough that no one feels a wait — just a tap, and they’re in the app.

templates for the common cases (mobile-first, region-aware, channel-routed). raw rules for everything else. test the link in the browser before you ship; we run it against three simulated taps so you don’t find out the rule is broken from a fan’s tweet.

the boring stuff

the unglamorous half. taken seriously.

what looks like a one-tap page has a lot going on underneath. your access tokens are encrypted and never exposed. every fan’s consent is logged. nothing you do is destructive — archive, undo, restore, always. ad pixels wait for consent before they fire, and your conversions still reach meta even when iOS or an ad-blocker would normally lose them. a lot of careful work you never have to think about. that’s the point.

your ad tokens never leave the server.

when you save a token for ads or analytics, it’s encrypted the moment it arrives and never sent back to a browser — not even to you. the field just reads “saved · paste new to replace.” we use it where it’s needed and forget the value.

this kind of thing is invisible until the day it isn’t. we’d rather build it now than write a breach post later.

what’s in, what’s out

things yala does. things yala doesn’t.

both columns — what we do, and what we’ve decided not to. neither list is exhaustive; both are honest.

yala does
  • 8 link types — release · pre-release · podcast · playlist · ticket · bio · content · follow-me
  • 30+ music services, scanned automatically
  • spotify pre-save, with a full consent trail and encrypted tokens
  • 22+ ad pixels, all consent-aware
  • server-side conversions for meta — so iOS and ad-blockers don't lose the data
  • conditional redirects — device, region, channel; templates + raw rules
  • email capture + release-day broadcast, all in one flow
  • a real API + webhooks, on every plan including free
  • your own custom domain — add it, verify, done
  • ios + android mobile app from day one
yala doesn’t
  • generate copy for you with a model — it's your voice, not a chatbot's
  • track fans across the open web — one pixel per workspace, by design
  • charge per seat, per click, or per made-up "AI credit"
  • sell your data, your fans, or your taste
  • sneak you onto a 14-day trial that auto-bills
  • have a "contact us" enterprise tier with hidden pricing
  • chase every feature in the category — some of it just adds noise
the moment

sound familiar?

  • 01you’ve outgrown your linktree.
  • 02your release-day strategy is a calendar reminder and a prayer.
  • 03you keep getting “where do I listen?” replies on every post.
  • 04your label sends you a spreadsheet of 12 DSP URLs the day a single drops.
  • 05you’re paying for a link tool whose email capture you’ve never once opened.
  • 06you want one tool that gives the fan one tap, not three.
  • 07you’d rather pay a small tool monthly than a big tool yearly.
faq

five honest answers.

what's the easiest way to migrate from linkfire?

paste each linkfire link’s source URL into yala’s wizard; we re-scan the DSPs and rebuild the destinations. wire a custom domain with the same slug and fans never see the migration. we’ve done bigger catalogs in an evening.

how does pre-save actually work?

fan grants spotify access through the official OAuth flow on the landing. yala stores an encrypted refresh token; on release day a worker auto-saves the track to their library. consent trail is exhaustive (IP, UA, timestamp). the only email that goes out is one you write — the release-day broadcast — and only if you opt in.

what about apple music pre-save?

apple MusicKit pre-save lands q3 2026. the spec needs apple’s paid developer cert + JWT signing setup, both wired but waiting on a beta cohort. apple LISTEN-ON buttons (the much more common case) work on every release link today.

is it open source?

no, but the public API is open and the landing format is documented. if you want full control over routing, you can run the redirect engine yourself — talk to us on enterprise.

who builds this?

a small team in tel aviv. no vc, no board, allergic to feature bloat. yala is the second product we’ve shipped. the about page is the long version of this answer.

more in /help
the closer

small team. real email.

yala is shipped by a small team. there is no sales department. we read every email at hi@yala.la and we usually answer within a day. tell us what’s broken, what’s missing, or what you wish we’d stop doing. we keep the studio warm.
