fewly is a free URL shortener that does what Bitly charges for: real-time click analytics (countries, devices, referrers), branded custom domains, QR codes, bulk shortening, and a developer API — free to start, no card required. Plus 50+ genuinely free browser tools (file converter, PDF, image, JSON and more) that run 100% in your browser: no uploads, no sign-ups, no watermarks. Launch treat: the first 50 sign-ups get Pro free — for life with coupon FIRST50.
Took fewly for a spin to shorten a few links and the click analytics updated instantly, which I wasn't expecting from a free tool. The QR code generator is a nice touch too.
@cumut87018 Glad it surprised you, Umut. The analytics pipeline was honestly the hardest part of the whole build. Clicks hit the dashboard in real time on every plan, free included. Enjoy the QR codes too. I also added 50+ free tools that I am sure will help you a lot. So check them out in your free time and bookmark them so that you don't lose them.
would love to see a way to organize shortened links into folders or tags. once you start using it regularly for different projects or clients, the dashboard gets pretty cluttered and it gets hard to find anything quickly.
@tlinokyg Hey Tulin, thank you so much for this. You were completely right, and honestly this was the push we needed.
We just shipped it: you can now organize links into folders (create, rename, and delete —with link counts) and add colored tags to any link. The dashboard has one-click filters for both; they stack with search, and every link has a quick "organize" button to move or retag it in place. Links are no longer one long pile.
Your comment directly shaped this — it went from review to live feature because of you. Whenever you get a moment, log back in and give it a spin, and if anything still feels hard to find, I genuinely want to hear it.
Thanks again for taking the time — feedback like this is worth more than any upvote. 🙏
honestly the api docs are pretty clean, made a custom short link for my blog in like two minutes. surprised qr code generation was bundled in for free.
@ahinertalunbn Thanks Şahin, the docs took forever to get right so this is really good to hear. QR codes staying free is a promise, not a trial. If anything in the API ever feels off just ping me, I ship fixes fast.
Love that the browser tools come included with the shortener, been using the JSON formatter and it just works. Clean dashboard too.
@buraktegiz Appreciate it, Burak. The JSON formatter is one of my favourites too; everything runs in your browser, so it stays fast. The dashboard actually got a redesign this week as well, so keep an eye on it.
Nice that the URL shortener is free and actually includes the click stats and QR code without paywalling them. Bookmarked the 50+ browser tools page too, pretty handy collection for quick edits.
@aslsrayf7hd Thank you, Aslı! Paywalling basic click stats never made sense to me; that stuff stays free. And good call on the bookmark; the tools page keeps growing. If you ever need a tool we don't have yet, let me know, and I'll probably build it.
