A free Linktree alternative
shrtn.ink/@yourhandle turns one link into many — the same idea as Linktree, without the paywall on analytics or the API.
What a link-in-bio page is
A bio field — on Instagram, TikTok, X, wherever — takes exactly one URL. A link-in-bio page is that one URL: a small page listing everything else you want people to find, so the single link in your bio can point to more than one place.
shrtn.ink's version is one page per account at shrtn.ink/@yourhandle, on the same free plan as everything else here — no separate plan, no upgrade to unlock anything on it. Add and reorder up to 50 items in total, links, text and images alike, and every link gets the same analytics as any short link: referrers, devices, locations. The page has a documented public API too — create, read, update, delete, and stats — on the same bearer key as the rest of the API.
What it doesn't do
- No storefront. No product listings, cart, or checkout — link to a store if you have one.
- No email capture. No signup form built into the page — link to wherever collects your list.
- No scheduling. Links go live when you save them and stay live until you change them — there's no calendar to make one appear or disappear on a timer.
shrtn.ink/@handle
One page per account, on the same free plan as everything else here.
A link-in-bio page — no separate plan, no upgrade to unlock it. The links on it are short links like any other, so they get the same analytics: referrers, devices, locations, on the usual 30-day dashboard.
You can also keep a page out of search results and still hand the link to anyone you like — it works exactly the same for them.
