About Trails

Trails is a simple, open, and privacy-friendly URL shortener. It gives you everything you expect from a shortener — but without accounts, ads, or hidden tracking. Just shorten links, share them, and move on.

Why Trails?

Trails is built around transparency and simplicity:

• No logins, subscriptions, or paywalls.
• Info pages show where a link leads, its lifetime, and visit count.
• Peek lets you check the destination of a link without clicking through.
• Privacy-first: no IPs stored, only hashed data for visit stats.

Transparency First

Every Trail comes with clear details about its creation, expiration, and visits. If you just want to verify a destination before clicking, you can always peek at it safely.
