Getting started

Create your first link, set a custom alias, and share.

How do I create my first short link?

From the dashboard, click 'New link', paste any URL, optionally choose a custom alias, and hit Create. You'll get a copyable short URL instantly.

Can I pick a custom alias?

Yes. Type any unused alphanumeric string in the 'Custom alias' field. Aliases are first-come, first-served per domain.

What happens to a link if I delete it?

Anyone visiting a deleted short link sees a friendly 'link not found' page. Visit history is also removed unless you archive instead.

Analytics

Clicks, conversions, UTM tagging, and CSV exports.

What analytics do you record?

Per click: timestamp, country, city, device, browser, OS, and referrer. We never record visitor IPs in plaintext beyond 30 days.

Team & workspaces

Invite teammates, share links, and assign roles.

How do I invite teammates?

Open Account → Workspaces, create a workspace, then send invites by email. Invitees get a one-click join link.

Billing & plans

Free vs Pro, upgrades, invoices, and cancellations.

How do I upgrade to Pro?

Open /pricing or Account → Billing, pick a plan, and submit a payment request. We activate after we confirm payment.
