Shawty. Expand Reach.

High-throughput URL shortener with in-memory caching, automated copy detection, and smart rolling expiration.

Architecture & Capabilities

Engineered for Extreme Speed & Frictionless Link Management

Automatic Copy Interception

The companion Chrome extension listens for webpage copy events and watches the clipboard, instantly offering to shorten URLs without switching tabs.

Sub-Millisecond In-Memory Engine

Redirects are served directly from an optimized in-memory cache with atomic click delta subtractions and non-blocking background MongoDB synchronization.

Rolling 3-Day Expiration

Inactive links naturally expire after 72 hours to keep the database lean. Every click extends link lifetime by another 72 hours automatically.

QR Code & Live Analytics

Generate downloadable high-res QR codes on demand and inspect real-time click counts, creation timestamps, and target destinations via the lookup console.

Never Paste a Link Manually Again

Copy any long URL on any website. Shawty automatically detects it, verifies validity, deduplicates, and provides a ready-to-copy short link via desktop notification and popup badge. No clipboard hijacking — you explicitly choose when to copy.
