Download your LinkedIn connections as a CSV from LinkedIn's own settings, on Mac, Windows or iPhone, what the file contains and what it leaves out, and how to see the people in it as a map with tiers.
You can export your LinkedIn connections from LinkedIn's own settings, on a computer or a phone, in about ten minutes. You get a file called Connections.csv with each connection's name, company, position and the date you connected. It's LinkedIn's official export, so it carries no risk to your account.
If the app sends you to a web page for any step, finish there: it's the same setting.
The CSV lists your first-degree connections: first and last name, profile link, company, position, the date you connected, and an email address only when that person allows it (most don't). It does not include who they know. Your 2nd and 3rd degree, the bridges between people and the shortest way in to someone, aren't in any LinkedIn export.
Sixgree reads a Connections.csv on your own computer and shows every person in the Galaxy, ranked in tiers S to D, with nothing uploaded. That covers your first degree straight away. To see who your connections can introduce you to, Sixgree's scanner reads their circles too, slowly and within a daily limit; see Scanning slowly and safely and LinkedIn connection degrees explained.
A version that reads your CSV right here on sixgree.com, in your browser and on your phone, is on the roadmap.
Plainly, automated scanning is against LinkedIn's User Agreement. Here's what the risk looks like in practice (warnings and temporary holds, not bans, in every case we've recorded), what to do after a warning, and how Sixgree paces itself.
The full design history of Sixgree, with pictures: from Next.js's default favicon to a gold S that reads as a 6, every wordmark we drew, the name change, the tier palettes in each look, and the design rules behind them.
Use Sixgree to inspect possible bridges, then ask a mutual LinkedIn connection for an introduction with clear, respectful messages and a forwardable blurb.
