Links with control
Use generated or custom aliases. Edit destinations, add tags and notes, set expiration or click limits, and disable or archive links.
Private link management, on your terms
Short links that stay under your control.
Create memorable aliases, manage redirects, share files, and understand clicks on your own domain. Surls runs on your server, with the tools you need in one place.

Built for your links
Everything behind a short URL
Run Surls with Docker Compose and PostgreSQL. Your public homepage can stay built in or use files from your own webroot.
Useful click insights
See totals, recent activity, referrers, devices, and locations. Privacy opt-out requests skip detailed click records.
Share beyond the URL
Upload files behind short links, show QR codes, copy and share URLs, and export click statistics as CSV.
Tools for your workflow
Use API tokens, a bookmarklet, CSV import, a link checker, and a UTM builder. Create links from WordPress with the included plugin.
Sign-in choices
Secure local accounts with passkeys, TOTP, and backup codes. Connect supported external identity providers when you need them.
Make it yours
Switch light, dark, or system theme; tune the admin palette; and add your own public pages or login template.
