dwnld.link

An Url Shortner

dwnld.link is a web app that turns long download URLs into short links with built-in context like file type, name, size, source, and the app it’s from. It adds useful info directly to the link so people know exactly what they’re downloading before they click. No guessing, no surprises, just clear download links that speak for themselves.

This isn’t built for scale or meant for public deployment, it’s a barebones tool made for personal use in my dev workflow. It uses very minimal tech, just a simple setup that generates short links with context. The goal was to keep it lightweight, fast, and easy to maintain, without the overhead of a full app. Just enough to make link sharing clearer and more useful without adding complexity.

I used to rely on free URL shorteners available online, they worked great in the past. But lately, many of them have started inserting interstitial pages or ads into the user flow, which creates a clunky experience. That extra friction hurts UX and can tank conversion, especially when you’re just trying to share a clean url. So I built this app as a simple alternative: no nonsense, just straight-to-the-point links with useful context in url.

The links are listed below—most go straight to Play Store downloads. If you’ve got questions or just want to reach out, you can contact me on by email. Have a nice day !!
