Cryptly
Short links that don't spy on you·cryptly.link
Cryptly is a privacy-first encrypted URL shortener that hides destination URLs using AES-256 (Fernet) encryption and does not log clicks or build click profiles by default. It offers an optional zero-knowledge private mode where even Cryptly cannot see where a link points, plus blockchain-anchored backup so links survive even if the service disappears. Paid tiers add unlimited links, custom short aliases, private click analytics, bulk creation and API access.
