What's Updog?
An ad-free, open-source URL shortener that anyone can deploy and run. No ads, no tracking.
Leave the name blank and one gets picked for you. Links can't be edited once created. Report abusive links on GitHub.
Why it exists
A free shortlink service with a sick name — and no interest in tracking you or anyone else.
There's an API
This page is just a client of it. Look a link up, or create one by posting to the same resource. The docs cover the rest.
curl updog.link/api/links/<slug>Run your own
Deployment takes about ten minutes, start to finish. It runs on Cloudflare's free tier, so serving a few million redirects a month costs nothing. Clone the repository to give it a try.
