Clipply

Just opened early access for Clipply.

The problem: most link shorteners just shorten. I wanted a link layer that could route different audiences to different destinations without building manual rule logic, and also tell me where clicks were actually coming from, including the traffic that normally shows up as "Direct/unknown" because WhatsApp, IG DMs, etc. strip referrer data.

What's live: plain-English smart routing rules, real-time attribution across 12+ platforms, A/B testing, expiry/click limits, password protection.

It also tells you whether a click is human or bot, and whether the visitor is on a VPN, so you can filter that traffic out of your numbers or route it somewhere else entirely instead of letting it pollute your analytics. You can build rules like "US traffic on iPhone that's visited before, send to the App Store" for return visitors, or "bot traffic, don't redirect at all" to keep junk clicks out of your funnel completely.

There's also a live interactive demo on the homepage, no signup needed.

Early access is free right now, no credit card, inviting people in batches to keep quality high on feedback.

Next up on the roadmap: I just shipped the environment and housekeeping phase (CI/CD, notifications, tagging, auto-delete rules for inactive links). Right now I'm about 45% through building the QR suite and bulk operations phase, an advanced QR builder plus bulk link generation and updates from CSV, so campaigns can scale from one link to thousands instead of being built one at a time. After that comes user management and access control, roles, teams, and enterprise sign-on so larger organizations can run on Clipply. Full roadmap is here if anyone wants to see what's coming: https://clipply.com/tracking

Would love feedback from this community especially. What would make you actually switch from your current shortener?
