Research
You can't work a network you can't see.
A thousand connections, no ranking, no reasons. Ten messages cost two hours of profile-hopping before you write a word.
Local-first outreach workbench · macOS
You approve every message. That's the whole product.
LinkNurture scores the connections you already have against the customers you actually want, drafts each note from your own template, and stops. Nothing sends until you read it.
Runs on your Mac. No cloud account. Your data stays on disk.
- 1,352 connections scored
- 523 profiles researched
- 60 threads archived
- 10 hard cap per batch
Outbound broke in three places.
Volume
Sequencers optimise for the wrong number.
They send at machine speed from a tool that holds your credentials, and the metric they report is messages, not replies. One day the account is restricted and the campaign is already out.
Voice
Generic AI is recognisable in one line.
"I came across your profile and was impressed by your work" is now a signal that nobody read anything. Reply rates fall, and the network learns to ignore you.
LinkNurture is built around the opposite constraint: a queue you can see the end of, and a message you would be comfortable signing.
How it works
01
Score the network
LinkNurture reads your own connection list and scores every profile 0–100 against your ICP.
- Seniority, function, industry and geography, weighted the way you describe them.
- Every score carries a one-line reason you can read and disagree with.
- Dismissals are remembered, so the same name never resurfaces.
02
Approve, message by message
The app fills the field. Then it stops and shows you the whole thing.
- Recipient identity, full text, character count — in one modal.
- Edit in place; the text you see is the text that sends.
- No second confirmation, no “are you sure” after the fact.
03
Send at a human pace
Batches are capped at 10. Gaps are randomised between 45 and 150 seconds.
- Typing is per-character with jitter, not pasted.
- A longer rest lands every few people.
- The first refusal or unverifiable send stops the whole batch.
04
Follow through
Every morning the app archives who replied. The follow-up board is where the work stays.
- Five views: all, priority, needs follow-up, new replies, unclassified.
- Star, stage, next-contact date, tags, email and WhatsApp per person.
- Full reply text kept locally, forever, exportable by copying a folder.
-
Research
Fit score with reasons
A number you can audit. Every ranking exposes the signals behind it, so a bad call is a conversation about criteria, not a black box.
-
Approval
One gate, no theatre
The modal shows the exact text and the exact recipient. Pressing it is the only way anything leaves.
-
Pacing
Slower on purpose
10 per batch, randomised 45–150 second gaps, a rest every few people. Volume is capped in code, not in a settings screen.
-
Follow-up
Replies stop getting lost
A daily archive of everyone who answered, with a next-contact date and an overdue badge.
-
Visibility
It says what it's doing
An activity bar reports the current step, position in the batch, wait time, and how long it has been silent.
-
Local
Nothing to sign up for
No cloud account, no uploaded prospect list, no telemetry. Your data is a folder you can copy or delete.
Automation that goes quiet is indistinguishable from automation that broke.
Most tools show a spinner and hope. LinkNurture shows the phase, the position in the queue, the reason it is waiting, and a silence timer that counts up when something stalls — so “still working” and “stuck” never look the same.
- Batch send · Opening thread · A. Rahman · 2/10 · waiting 74s (pacing) is a state you can trust, not a guess.
- Silence over 15 s turns the strip amber and states how long it has been quiet.
- Idle isn't blank: it becomes the next action — how many people are waiting for a verdict, how many are queued, whether a draft needs you.
Your network is not our dataset.
There is no LinkNurture cloud. The app runs a server on loopback, drives a dedicated Chrome profile that you sign into yourself, and writes everything it knows to files on your disk.
Credentials You sign in once, in your own browser profile. LinkNurture never asks for, stores, or transmits your password.
Network The only outbound traffic is your browser talking to LinkedIn, the same requests a person would make.
Storage Connection list, scores, message text, reply archive and notes are JSON and CSV files on your machine.
Telemetry None. There is no analytics endpoint in the codebase.
What it deliberately doesn't do
-
No auto-connect.The app never sends connection requests. -
No purchased lists.Only the network you already have is scored. -
No cloud copy.Your prospects never leave your machine. -
No unattended sending.Close the window and nothing continues. -
No invented voice.Templates are yours; variables are merged, not generated.
These are not missing features. They are the product.
Who it's for
For
- Founders and first sales hires doing their own outbound
- 1,000+ connections you have never systematically worked
- Markets where a warm, specific first line still matters
- Teams that want to read every word before it sends
- Anyone who would rather own a folder than rent a dashboard
Not for
- Anyone who needs 500 messages a day
- Agencies buying contact lists
- Teams that want the tool to write in a voice nobody defined
- People who expect replies without researching the person
- Anyone looking for a way around platform limits
Priced like a tool, not a growth channel.
One LinkedIn account per seat. Batch cap of 10 applies on every plan — that is not a paywall, it is the design.

FAQ
Is this allowed under LinkedIn's terms?
LinkNurture drives a browser you are signed into, the way a person would. It does not scrape at scale, does not create accounts, and does not send connection requests. That said, every platform's terms are the user's responsibility — read them, and use the tool the way you would use your own hands.
Can my account get restricted?
We can't promise otherwise, and any vendor who does is selling you something. What we can say is that the caps are deliberately conservative: 10 per batch, randomised gaps, a stop on the first anomaly. If you need more volume than that, this is the wrong tool.
Does it need my password?
No. You sign in once in a dedicated Chrome profile. The app never sees, stores or transmits credentials.
Does it write the messages with AI?
No. You write a template with variables; LinkNurture merges them per person and shows you the result. If you want help drafting, you already have a chat window — this tool is for sending what you decided to send.
What exactly leaves my machine?
Your browser's requests to LinkedIn. Nothing else. There is no analytics endpoint in the codebase.
Windows or Linux?
macOS 13+ today. The core is portable; a Windows build is not scheduled.
What happens to my data if I stop paying?
Nothing. It is on your disk. Lapsed licences stop sending; reading and exporting keep working.
Can I export everything?
The data folder is the export — JSON and CSV.
Pick ten people you actually want to talk to.
LinkNurture will score them, draft the note, and wait for you.
