About LinkDrop

The URL shortener that feels like it belongs on your Mac. Instant, private, and forever free. LinkDrop was built to solve the frustration of "Free Trials," "Sign-up Required," and "Interstitial Ads" that plague other shorteners. This is a pure, utility-focused tool designed for speed and privacy. Designed for Apple Users Features a stunning interface inspired by iOS 18 and the Dynamic Island. It feels right at home on your Mac, automatically switching between "Midnight Black" and "Apple Silver" based on your preference. Core Features: One-Click Shortening: Click the icon, and your shortened link is instantly copied to your clipboard. No waiting. Privacy First: We don't track your history or collect your data. Everything is stored locally on your device. Smart "Clean" Mode: Automatically strips tracking parameters (like utm_source, fbclid, and Amazon tags) before shortening, giving you the cleanest link possible. Reliable Engine: Powered by the trusted is.gd API. No ads, no expiration dates, and no "interstitial" countdowns. Pro Tools (Included Free): Custom Aliases: Rename links to something memorable (e.g., is.gd/my-project). History Drawer: Accidental copy-paste error? Open the History drawer to find your last 5 links. QR Codes: Instantly generate a QR code to share a link to your phone. Native Sharing: Use the macOS Share Sheet to send links directly to AirDrop, Messages, or Notes. Context Menu: Right-click anywhere on a page to "Shorten with LinkDrop." Keyboard Shortcut: Press Cmd + Shift + L (Mac) or Ctrl + Shift + L (Windows) to shorten the current page instantly. Why LinkDrop? No Sign-ups No API Keys needed No "Pro" Subscription No Data Harvesting Simple. Fast. Private.
