Kutt is a modern URL shortener with support for custom domains. Shorten URLs, manage your links and view the click rate statistics.
Contributions and bug reports are welcome.
Migration from v1
The new version of Kutt is here. In version 2, we used TypeScript and we moved from Neo4j to PostgreSQL database in favor of performance and we’re working on adding new features.
If you’re coming from v1, refer to MIGRATION.md to migrate data from Neo4j to PostgreSQL.
