Per-link dashboards

Open any short link and get its own time series: clicks, unique visitors, repeat behavior.

Compare periods

Ghost the previous range under any chart and read the drift at a glance.

A board you arrange

Drag, resize, and swap between a dozen chart types: donut to treemap to calendar heatmap.

Built-in geo maps

World-level click distribution on a choropleth, without a single third-party script.

Ask for the exact slice.

Every widget on the board takes filters: browser, country, city, referrer, OS. Scope one, and the chart answers just that question.

Clicks over time

Show me Chrome users from Germany who came through Discord.

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Built by developers shipping production traffic. Every feature has a reason it exists.

Your brand on every link.

Bring your own domain, apex or subdomain. A guided two-minute setup, and every short link speaks your name instead of ours.

forma.io/launch

Japan sees a different destination.

One short link, routed by country: send the EU to the EU store, Tokyo to the JP page, and everyone else to the fallback. The rules read like a table because they are one.

Know the moment it spikes.

A link crosses a click threshold, lands its first visit from a new country, expires, or delivers a webhook. The feed tells you before anyone asks.

Social previews

Custom title, description, image, and theme color per link.

Private links

Gate any link behind a passphrase.

Self-destruct

Cap total clicks or set an end date. The link retires itself.

A/B testing

Split traffic across destinations by weight, scored by clicks.
