About Darvin

Darvin is a fast, elegant link shortener built around a single promise: shorten any URL in one click. -> WHAT THIS EXTENSION DOES • Right-click any page, link, or image: the "Shorten with Darvin" action turns it into a compact dar.vin URL. • Click the toolbar icon to shorten the URL of the current tab. • The short link is auto-copied to your clipboard by default. You can toggle this off from the extension menu. • A small success card appears on the page showing the short link, a copy button, and a shortcut to create a fresh one. -> WHAT'S NEW IN 1.10 • Smart dedupe. If you shorten the same URL twice while signed in, Darvin recalls your existing short link so your analytics stay clean. One click creates a new one if you really want a second. • Anonymous or signed in. The extension works without an account. Sign in at dar.vin to claim links to your profile, see click analytics, and manage them all in one dashboard. • English and Turkish. The UI follows your browser's preferred language order automatically. • Redesigned success card with the Darvin mascot and a clickable "@username" chip that takes you straight to your links dashboard. -> PRIVACY, KEPT SHORT • No tracking, no ads, no analytics inside the extension. • We communicate with exactly one host: https://dar.vin, to shorten the URL you requested and check whether you are signed in. • The only thing stored locally is your auto-copy preference. • Full privacy policy: https://dar.vin/privacy -> OPEN, FREE, COLLABORATIVE Darvin is a collaboration between Evrim Ağacı (https://evrimagaci.org) and NTX Web Design (https://ntxwebdesign.com). It is free and ad-free. Using Darvin supports Evrim Ağacı's open science communication mission. -> Site, roadmap, and API docs: https://dar.vin
