Frequently asked questions
Do these short links work for other people?
They resolve inside this app: a short code opens the /go/ path on the same site and forwards to your target, so you can share a tidy link without a redirect service in the middle.
Where are my links and click counts stored?
Entirely in your browser localStorage. Targets, codes, and click counts never leave the device, and there is no account to create.
How are clicks counted?
Each time a short link is opened through the app, the click counter for that code increments and the time of the latest click is recorded, so you can see which links are actually used.
Can I edit or delete a link?
Yes. Every saved link can be copied again, opened, or deleted from the list, and deleting also clears its click history.
