The problem with 'link in bio' tools
They solved the many-links problem, then left everyone's contact info exposed by default.
Link-in-bio tools solved a real problem: too many links, one bio field. But somewhere along the way, they all started doing the same thing — a public page with everything on it, discoverable by anyone, scraped by bots the same way a plain website would be.
That's fine for a portfolio link or a YouTube video. It's not fine for your email address.
Most link-in-bio tools were built to maximize clicks, not protect the person behind them. There's no concept of "who's asking" or "should this person actually get this." Everything on the page is available to everyone, all the time, forever — until you manually go delete it, if you even remember to.
Threshold isn't a link-in-bio tool with a lock icon bolted on. It was built around a different question from day one: not "how do I display everything," but "who should actually get access to what, and when should that change." Public stays public. Sensitive info requires a request, a real signed-in account, and your approval. And you can revoke that approval any time circumstances change.
It's a small shift in framing — but it's the difference between broadcasting your information and hoping for the best, versus actually deciding who gets it.
Your details. Your terms.
Keep your socials public and put everything else behind a request.
