Why choose us

Built to be fast and safe, not just short

A shortener is a redirect service pointed at the open internet. Ours is written like one.

  • Cryptographic codes. Generated with a real random source and checked for collisions, with a unique index as the guarantee.
  • No open redirect. Only http, https and UPI are accepted; loopback, private and link-local targets are refused.
  • Analytics without the tracking. Clicks counted per day and per device; IP addresses stored only as a keyed hash.
  • Your own domains. Run several short domains at once and pick the default from the panel.
