Password protection

Gate sensitive links with a password. Visitors unlock once, and the password never touches the URL.

07

Privacy by design

Visitor IPs are salted-hashed the moment a click lands. You get unique-visitor stats — we never store raw IPs.

How it works

From paste to insights in seconds

No dashboards to configure, no tracking pixels, no learning curve. Four steps, zero friction.

01

Shorten it

Paste any URL. Customize the slug or let Linkn generate a clean, collision-proof one for you.

02

Share everywhere

Drop the link into email, campaigns, QR codes, or bios. It just works — on every device.

03

Watch it click

Clicks stream in live. See referrers, countries, devices, and browsers without any setup.

04

Refine in minutes

A/B the destination, expire a link, or kill one instantly. Your audience stays the same.

Loved by teams

Teams who take links seriously

We moved 400+ links off a legacy shortener in an afternoon. The analytics alone paid for the switch — our team actually reads them now.
MC

Maya Chen

Head of Growth, Lumen

Custom slugs for every campaign, live click counts, and a dashboard that doesn't feel like 2012. It's the best-in-class link tool, full stop.
AO

Andre Okafor

Founder, Teak Studio

I've shortened links in a hundred tools. Linkn is the first one I'd call engineered. Fast redirects, honest privacy, zero bloat.

FAQ

Answers, fast

Yes. Paste any URL into the terminal on the homepage and you'll get a working short link instantly — no account needed. Create a free account afterwards and claim it for management and analytics.

Redirects run as a single indexed lookup with a 307 response, typically in under 25 milliseconds. Click tracking happens in the background and never delays the redirect.

Total clicks, unique visitors, clicks by day, and breakdowns by country, device, browser, and referrer. Everything updates in real time as clicks land.

We never store raw IP addresses. Visitor IPs are salted-hashed the instant a click is recorded, so you get accurate unique-visitor counts without us retaining identifying data.

Yes. When you create a link you can set a password. Visitors see a clean password screen before being redirected, and the password never appears in the URL.

You can claim your anonymous links from your dashboard and they'll be attached to your account with their click history intact.
