The URL shortener that feels like it belongs on your Mac. Instant, private, and forever free.

Reliable Engine: Powered by the trusted is.gd API. No ads, no expiration dates, and no "interstitial" countdowns. Pro Tools (Included Free): Custom Aliases: Rename links to something memorable (e.g., is.gd/my-project). History Drawer: Accidental copy-paste error? Open the History drawer to find your last 5 links. QR Codes: Instantly generate a QR code to share a link to your phone.
