Analytics
Know whether the thing you handed out is being opened - how many, how many different people, from where, on what, and at what hour.

What you get
On every link, with no tier to reach - and the short address stays the same whatever you point it at.
Password protected
For an address that will be forwarded further than the people it was meant for. Asked for before the redirect happens, never stored as itself.
UTM tags
Set the five campaign parameters once, on the link, and every visit arrives in your analytics already labelled - instead of a hand-typed query string on a poster.
Frequently asked questions
Can I change where a link goes after I have shared it?
That is the point of it, and it is what an account is for: the short address stays the same and you repoint it as often as you like - the copy in somebody’s email, the one on the poster and the one in the QR code all keep working. A link made without signing in works forever but belongs to nobody, so sign in and it becomes yours to move.
Can I choose the short address?
In the full maker, yes - or take the one this page offers. A name that is already taken is refused while you type rather than after you save.
What do I learn about who opened it?
How many opens and how many different people, a day at a time, plus the country, the device, the operating system, the site it was clicked from and the hour of the day. No names, and nothing that follows anybody anywhere else.
Can a link stop working on purpose?
Set a date it becomes good, a date it stops, or a number of visits it is good for - and a fallback address for whoever arrives afterwards, so a dead link lands somewhere useful rather than on an error.
Is there a QR code?
For every link, styled from a template you keep, so a poster and a page carry the same code. It points at the short address, which means repointing the link repoints the printed code.
Do I need an account?
Not to make a link. Paste an address at the top of this page and it exists - and it keeps working for as long as anybody holds it. This browser remembers the ones you made, under the field, because a link nobody owns cannot be listed back to you.
So what is the account for?
Everything after the link exists: pointing it somewhere new, giving it a name and tags, locking it with a password, setting the dates or visit limit, and seeing who opened it. Signing in also adopts the links this browser already made, so the addresses you have handed out become yours to repoint.
Is it free, and is there a limit?
Free, with no cap on links or on the visits they take, and no sign-up for the plain ones. Campaign tracking, tags, passwords, rules and the analytics are all part of it.
