Custom URL aliases without the bloat
Overview
A modern URL shortener that lets you own your links completely—you choose the slug, you control the domain. Built on Cloudflare Workers for instant deployment and near-zero overhead.
Features
- Custom, human-readable URL aliases—you choose the slug
- Instant redirects at the edge via Cloudflare Workers
- No forced branding or random ID schemes
- Fast and reliable with zero traditional backend
- Support for branded internal links and custom domains
- Simple, maintainable codebase
- Production-ready deployment
- Full ownership and control of your links
Architecture
The system is intentionally minimal and maintainable:
Data Flow: URL creation → Alias storage → Request → Worker redirect lookup → Instant redirect response
All operations happen at the edge with zero traditional backend overhead. Redirects are served directly from Cloudflare infrastructure, making them globally fast.
