Self-hosted, database-free, privacy-first URL Shortener.

Shorty is a lightweight and powerful solution for shortening links, designed to be installed on any PHP hosting in seconds. It requires no SQL database, uses a fast TXT file storage system, and automatically manages link expiration.

Key Features

Zero Database: No MySQL/PostgreSQL required. Everything is saved on optimized text files.
Automatic Retention: Links expire and self-destruct after 7, 15, 30, or 90 days.
Privacy First: No tracking cookies, no invasive analytics.
Single Page Application: Modern and reactive user interface based on Vue.js.
JSON API: Separate backend usable also via API.
Open Source: Released under AGPLv3 license.

Quick Installation

Download the latest version (dist folder).
Upload files to your server (via FTP or SSH).
Ensure the data folder is writable (chmod 755 or 777 depending on hosting).
Open the site in the browser. Done!
