What's New in Shortly

3.0

September 16, 2026

Shortly has been rebuilt from the ground up. A new look, your way: Five color themes to choose from in Settings, each with light and dark modes. Cleaner screens, bigger tap targets, and a layout that adapts to iPhone, iPad and the new iPhone Duo. Shorten faster: Paste or type a link (no need for https://), add a title and tags, pick a branded domain, and choose a custom back-half if your plan includes one. Your short link is ready to copy, share, or track. Charts you'll actually read: Every link has a stats page with clicks over time (drag to see any day), top countries and referrers, the hours and days people click, and a range switch for 24 hours to 90 days. History rows show a 7-day sparkline and click count at a glance. Shorten from anywhere: • Share sheet: shorten from any app, with the link copied for you. • Safari extension: a toolbar button and a "Shorten with Shortly" menu on any link. • Shortcuts and Siri: Shorten Link, Get Link Clicks, and Copy Latest Link. • Widgets: your latest link and your top link, on the Home Screen and Lock Screen. • Live Activity: tap Track on a new link and watch clicks count up on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Manage your links: Search your history, see your top links of the week, edit titles and tags, archive links, and create QR codes. Settings shows how much of your Bitly plan you've used this month.

Achtung ⚠️ Betrug!

Geld wird abgezogen. Dannach fordert die App eine Registrierung bevor man es nutzen kann.
Nach Registrierung passiert nichts. Absolute Betrugsmasche!!! Nicht kaufen! ⛔️

CRASH ALERT

Wasted the app fee! Crashed when I tried to shorten an URL. Now when I try to reopen the app it says processing and crashes again!!

Update needed

This app used to work fine but since updating to iOS 6, it crashes as soon as I enter a URL to shorten.

Horrible

Can't use the app. It crashes everytime! Please fix it.

Crashes EVERY TIME

Crashes every time I press Enter. Waste of 99c. Don't bother.
