Bento was the link-in-bio page people actually enjoyed looking at. Instead of a stack of buttons, it gave you a grid: big tiles for your best work, small ones for your socials, maps, photos and embeds side by side.
Then it closed. Linktree bought Bento in 2023, and on February 13, 2026 Bento shut down for good. Old Bento links now redirect to Linktree, and the pages and profile data on Bento were deleted.
If your bio still points at a dead Bento link, or you moved to a plain list and miss your grid, this guide is for you.
What made Bento worth missing
Before picking a replacement, it helps to name what you actually liked:
- A grid, not a list. Tiles of different sizes, so your main project is big and your socials are small.
- Content that looks like itself. A video showed its thumbnail. A Spotify song showed its cover. A map looked like a map.
- It felt personal. A Bento page looked like a little homepage, not a menu.
Any good Bento alternative should keep those three things.
The options
1. Drawr
Drawr is a link-in-bio page built around a grid, so it's the closest in spirit to Bento, with a few ideas of its own:
- Drawers. Group your things into labelled drawers like Products, Videos or Writing. Each drawer can keep all its tiles the same size, so your page never looks messy.
- Tiles that show what they are. Apps show their icon edge to edge, videos show a sharp widescreen thumbnail, and socials fill with their brand color.
- Live mode. If you stream on Twitch, YouTube or Kick, your drawer lights up and an On air drawer slides out the moment you go live.
- Waitlists and newsletters. Collect emails right on the page.
- Free. Pro is free during the beta.
It's the right pick if you liked Bento's grid and you make things: apps, videos, streams, newsletters or products.
2. Linktree
Linktree now owns Bento and has added visual layouts and blocks inspired by it. If you want the biggest, most familiar option, or you sell through it, it's a safe choice. The trade-off is that most Linktree pages still look alike. See Linktree's pricing page for current plans.
3. A one-page site
Tools like Carrd let you build a single page however you like. You get total freedom, but you also have to design it yourself, and things like live status or a click count per link aren't built in.
How to rebuild your Bento grid on Drawr
You can't import from Bento anymore because the pages are gone. Rebuilding takes a few minutes:
- Claim your name at getdrawr.com/yourname.
- Paste your links. Drawr reads each one and pulls in its title and picture, so a YouTube link becomes a video tile and an app becomes an app tile.
- Add drawers for your sections, like Projects, Videos and Socials, and pick a tile size for each.
- Size your best work big. Tap a tile to cycle through small, wide, tall and large.
- Update your bio on X, Instagram and TikTok to your new link.
If you moved to Linktree in the meantime, paste your Linktree URL into Import and your links come across in one go.
Bento showed that a link page could feel like yours. A dead link in your bio is the opposite of that.
The short version
Bento is gone, and its pages went with it. If you want the grid back, Drawr is free and takes about a minute to set up.
