What Link Learning does

Link Learning GmbH is a privately-held German software company, founded in 2020 and headquartered in Gifhorn, that develops the ShareWize mobile application for creating, designing, viewing, and sharing multi-page digital projects within a copy-protected environment. ShareWize combines content creation and consumption in a single app, offering an integrated creative mode with photos, video, text, and templates; multi-page project structures for digital booklets; offline compatibility for core features; and controlled sharing where creators retain revocable access to distributed content, including copy-protection that persists even after content is downloaded to a device. The product is positioned for both private use cases (photo albums, recipe collections, DIY instructions) and lighter business applications (employee training, customer education), with a horizontal, persona-led segmentation approach.

The company operates as a founder/owner-operated entity (CEO Patrik Troell) with 1-10 employees and no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or parent company. In 2025, ShareWize received approval for Germany's FuE Forschungszulage, formally recognizing the product as an R&D project eligible for government subsidy. Distribution is currently limited to a closed iOS beta in the Apple App Store, with a free general-availability release, an Android version, and a future marketplace allowing users to sell their projects all on the public roadmap. The intended revenue model is freemium consumer distribution followed by a transactional marketplace layer; no pricing has been publicly disclosed and the company is effectively pre-revenue.

Broad incumbents

• Canva: Canva is a leading multi-page content design and sharing platform with templates, brand controls, and team collaboration — directly comparable to ShareWize's multi-page booklet creation and sharing capabilities, but at vastly greater scale and with a broader design toolset.
• Notion: Notion enables users to create, structure, and share multi-page documents and knowledge bases — closely aligned with ShareWize's knowledge-sharing positioning, though lacking native copy protection and operating as a web/mobile productivity platform rather than a content-publication tool.
• Google Photos: Google Photos is the dominant platform for digital photo album creation, organization, and sharing — directly comparable to ShareWize's primary consumer use case of photo album design, though without the copy-protection controls or training/business content capabilities.
• Apple Photos: Apple Photos is the default iOS photo organization and shared album tool — a direct incumbent in ShareWize's primary consumer use case of digital photo album sharing on iOS devices, with massive distribution advantage via OS-level integration.
• Adobe Express: Adobe Express (formerly Adobe Spark) is a template-driven multi-page content design and sharing platform from Adobe — directly comparable to ShareWize's combined creation + sharing experience, but backed by Adobe's design ecosystem and Creative Cloud integration.
• Teachable: Teachable is a leading platform for creators to build, sell, and deliver online courses and training content — directly comparable to ShareWize's planned marketplace and business segment for knowledge training, though web-based and focused on full course experiences rather than multi-page projects.

Direct peers

• Issuu: Issuu is a digital publishing platform for creating multi-page booklets, magazines, and lookbooks — directly comparable to ShareWize's multi-page project format, though focused on web-based flipbook publishing rather than mobile-first offline sharing.
• Book Creator: Book Creator is a mobile and web app for creating multi-page digital books, primarily in the K–12 education market. It is a direct competitor to ShareWize's multi-page booklet creation model, though focused on classroom publishing rather than general knowledge sharing.
• Thinkific: Thinkific is a course creation and selling platform for knowledge entrepreneurs — comparable to ShareWize's planned creator marketplace direction, particularly for training and educational content monetization, though targeting a different delivery format (video courses vs. multi-page booklets).

Emerging players

• Skillshare: Skillshare is a membership-based learning community where creators publish classes and students consume project-based content — a thematic peer to ShareWize's planned creator marketplace, with similar community-led learning economics but focused on video classes rather than multi-page documents.
