A Tap Bio alternative, before the lights go out

What we know about Tap Bio closing

Tap Bio (tap.bio) is a card-based link in bio for Instagram. In October 2026, several reports said it had announced a shutdown on October 31, 2026, restricted new sign ups, and that pages would be deleted after that date. The same reports said there was no one-click export.

We could not find the announcement on Tap Bio's own site, so check your account and any emails from them for the exact terms. Either way, if your bio still points to a tap.bio address, now is the time to move.

A ten minute move

1. Open your Tap Bio page and copy every link, title and bit of text you want to keep into a note.
2. Save any images you uploaded.
3. Create your new page and add the content back.
4. Swap the link in every bio, pinned post and email signature.
5. Check your analytics a day later to confirm visitors are arriving.

On makerhandle, step three takes about two minutes for a typical page. Logos fill themselves in from each site's favicon.

Cards become projects

Tap Bio organized a page as swipeable cards. makerhandle organizes it as projects: each thing you make or run gets a card with a name, link, description, status and screenshot. Pick a template, like Showcase for big screenshots or Stack for a classic single column, and switch any time without redoing content.

If you used Tap Bio to sell or take bookings, keep that tool and add it to your page as a project. makerhandle is the front door, not the checkout.

Make this the last move

Moving a link in bio is annoying because the old address is everywhere. Pro lets you use your own domain, like links.yourname.com, with SSL handled for you. Once your bios point at a domain you own, any future move is one DNS record.

Free covers five projects. Pro is $20 a year, with unlimited projects, all seven templates, a year of cookie-free analytics and no badge. See custom domain or all Linktree alternatives.
