Hey guys, with Dub going private, I built Shortener.dev, an open-source URL shortener with unlimited click tracking.

You can:

  • Deploy it on your own Cloudflare account

  • Use the hosted version at https://shortener.dev

  • Integrate it using the API

Simple, self-hostable URL shortening with unlimited clicks and without any vendor lock-in.

Shortener.dev uses verified domains to prevent spam and phishing. Before creating short links, verify your domain via email (e.g., you@domain.com) or import it through Google Search Console.

  • Popular sites like YouTube, LinkedIn, and Instagram work out of the box via a global whitelist.

  • Want to add more domains to the whitelist? Comment here or open a PR on GitHub.

Would love to hear your feedback, especially on the domain verification for safe short links - Please upvote here and star on Github, if you like it!
