How it works

From a long link to live analytics in seconds

No setup and no SDKs — four steps from a messy URL to measurable insight.

  1. 1

    Paste your URL

    Drop in any long link, with an optional custom alias and expiry.

  2. 2

    Get a short link

    We generate a tidy, shareable short code for you instantly.

  3. 3

    Share anywhere

    Drop it into docs, chats, emails, slides, or social posts.

  4. 4

    Track every click

    Watch clicks, referrers, and geography update in real time.

Features

Everything you need to ship and measure links

A focused toolset, not a bloated dashboard — every feature maps to a real endpoint.

Custom aliases

Brand your links with your own readable short codes instead of random characters.

Expiry control

Set links to expire from 1 to 365 days, so stale links retire themselves.

Click analytics

Track total, 7-day, and 30-day clicks with a clean clicks-over-time chart.

Geo & referrers

See which countries and referrers drive traffic, broken down per link.

Fast 302 redirects

A cache-backed redirect path sends visitors onward with minimal latency.

Secure by default

Token auth with silent refresh, per-user link isolation, and rate-limited creation.
