bento alternative

bento is gone. your page does not have to be.

linktree bought bento in 2023 and shut it down on february 13, 2026. profiles were deleted and bento.me now redirects to linktree. if you loved a tidy grid of tiles, here is a free home for it.

what you get on ego.ist

  • a bento grid template, plus eight other templates and full color control
  • free analytics, no paywall
  • a free page at ego.ist/i/you, free forever
  • visitor suggestions gated by your approval, nothing appears without it
  • a numbered physical card reserved with your account. only 10,000 will ever exist

straight answers

can you import my bento page?

no, and nobody can. linktree deleted bento profile data when it shut the product down, so there is nothing left to import. rebuilding is a handful of blocks: links, a list, a collection, and whatever else you kept in your grid.

is the page really free?

yes. the page, every template, every color, and analytics are free. the scarcity lives in the 10,000 numbered physical cards, not in your page.

what about lock in?

your page is yours to edit and unpublish any time, and agents can read it over mcp, an open protocol. the footer badge is your own passport number, and you can turn it off.

curious about the agent side? your page doubles as an mcp server: agent access.
