Short links that open the app.
Your YouTube link in an Instagram bio opens the YouTube app, signed in and ready to subscribe. Built for creators, and for the agents that work for them.
No account needed to try it. Free while in beta.
Opens natively in
Deep links for creators
Stop losing subscribers to in-app browsers.
Tap a normal YouTube link inside Instagram or TikTok and it opens in their built-in browser, where your viewer is signed out. No subscribe, no like, no comment. A t.link link opens the real app instead.
Opens the native app
On iPhone and Android, t.link hands the visitor to the installed app. If it is not installed, they land on the normal web page.
Nothing to configure
Paste the link. t.link recognises YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Spotify, Amazon, X and more, and tells you which app it will open.
See what it did
Analytics show how many clicks went into an app, from which country and from which site.

Agent-first
Your agent can run your links.
t.link ships with an MCP server and a REST API. Ask Claude, Cursor or your own agent to shorten a link, rename it, pause it or report on last week's clicks.
- Ten typed tools: create, list, update, delete, analytics, domains and more
- Sign in from Claude or ChatGPT, or use an API key
- llms.txt and OpenAPI so agents can onboard themselves
- Scoped to one workspace; it never touches Tapni or MailSign data

Shorten my new video and call it new-video.

Done: t.link/new-video. It opens in the YouTube app on phones.
Everything else
A link manager you will actually open.
The parts every short link needs, without the enterprise price list.
Deep links for creators
Click analytics
QR codes
Click analytics
Clicks and unique visitors per day, by country, referrer, device and browser. No IP addresses are stored.
QR codes
Every link has a QR code. Scans are counted separately from taps, so you know what the poster did.
Your own domain
Put links on go.yourbrand.com. One DNS record, and each domain has its own link names.
Links you can change
Rename a link, point it somewhere new, pause it or let it expire. The short URL stays the same.
API keys
One key works for the REST API and the MCP server. Create it, copy it once, revoke it any time.

Questions
What is a deep link?+
A link that opens a page inside an app instead of in a browser. When someone taps your t.link in Instagram, TikTok or any other app, t.link sends them to the native YouTube, Spotify or Amazon app, where they are already signed in.
What happens if the app is not installed?+
The visitor goes to the normal web page, exactly as if they had tapped the original link. Desktop visitors and link previews always get a plain redirect.
Do I need an account?+
Not to try it. Links made on this page work for 24 hours. To keep a link, see its clicks or change it, sign in with a free Tapstack account. It is the same account as Tapni and MailSign.
How is t.link related to Tapni?+
t.link is a Tapstack app, like Tapni and MailSign. Tapni NFC cards and QR codes have used t.link addresses for years; now the same domain is open for your own short links.
Can an AI agent use it?+
Yes. t.link has an MCP server for Claude, Cursor and other assistants, a REST API, and an llms.txt file that tells an agent how to connect.
Can I use my own domain?+
Yes. Connect a domain like go.yourbrand.com with one DNS record. The free beta includes three.
