01 / The problem

01 / The problem

Hours, every day.

LinkedIn is essential for sales, recruiting and networking. The manual work is brutal.

Professionals spend hours each day sending connection requests, following up with messages and posting content.

Existing tools are browser extensions that get detected and banned, or cloud services that compromise your account security.

  • Hours of manual work
  • Extensions get banned
  • Cloud tools risk accounts

02 / The solution

02 / The solution

Its own browser, on your Mac.

A native macOS app with an embedded browser, so there is no extension to detect.

We built Bridddge as a native macOS desktop app with its own embedded browser, eliminating the detection risks of browser extensions.

Everything runs locally on the user’s machine. No data leaves their computer.
