Stop updating text manually!

This plugin lets you connect text layers to frames and components so their content stays in sync automatically — ideal for tables of contents, page numbers, ordered flows, and dynamic documentation.


Insert a frame’s name or position into any text layer and keep it up to date as you rename frames, reorder layouts, or change component variants.


Keep headers, footers, labels, and documentation consistent across large files. Built for real-world Figma workflows, the plugin works seamlessly with auto layout, component sets, and variants.


⚡ Bulk Linking & Sorting


Link multiple text layers to frame names or positions with a single click using instant bulk linking.


The built-in sort-link mechanic makes it easy to create and maintain tables of contents. Control sorting via the UI or simple naming tags like #PositionUp, #PositionDown, #Ascending, and #Descending.


Demo & Pro


Start with the Demo version, which lets you create one container with up to 10 frames for free.


Upgrade to Pro to unlock unlimited containers, unlimited frames, bulk linking, and the ability to reference external Figma documents via the Figma API.


Perfect for presentations, product flows, UX documentation, design systems, and any project where structure and order matter.


Feel free to leave feedback, suggestions, and feature requests in the comments — I’m happy to improve the plugin! 🚀
