Small tools for a quieter web.

What Tryst Link does

The URL shortener turns long destination URLs into compact links that can be managed from an account. Current link controls include generated or custom short codes, optional titles, optional expiry dates, and the ability to disable or delete links.

Creating and managing short links requires an account. When a short URL is opened, the redirect service may create a limited click-event record as described in our Privacy Policy. We do not present those records as a full marketing analytics suite.

The QR generator works differently. QR content is generated in the browser, so an account is not required simply to create and download a QR code.

Why the product is deliberately narrow

Link tools often grow into broad marketing platforms. Tryst Link is being built around a smaller set of jobs: create a short link, keep control of it, generate a QR code when that is the better format, and make the product understandable without hiding basic behavior behind vague claims.

That means we would rather describe a feature precisely than imply a capability that is not available. If a feature changes, the product pages, documentation, and policies should change with it.

Privacy-conscious by design

Privacy-conscious does not mean that servers process no request information. A redirect service has to receive a request in order to send a visitor to the destination.

The current application minimizes what it writes to its click-event table. It may store a timestamp, country code when available, coarse device class, and referring hostname. It does not write the raw visitor IP address or full user-agent string to that table.

Infrastructure providers may still process ordinary request metadata while delivering and protecting the service. The Privacy Policy explains that distinction in more detail.
