Short links are everywhere. They make it easier to share content, but most existing URL shorteners are built for individuals, not for teams or companies. That’s why I built Linanok.
Linanok is an open source, self-hosted URL shortener designed specifically for organizations that need professional link management. Instead of relying on third-party services, teams can keep full control over their data while still enjoying a smooth and modern experience.
Why Linanok?
Most URL shorteners stop at creating and tracking links. Linanok goes further by focusing on staff-level link management. Organizations can create roles, assign permissions, and make sure every team member has the right level of access. This helps maintain security and order, especially when multiple departments or users are working with links.
Tech Stack
Linanok is built with Laravel and Filament, which makes it robust, extensible, and easy to manage. The default database is PostgreSQL, but it also supports MariaDB and SQLite, giving teams flexibility depending on their infrastructure.
Key Features
- Staff-level link management: manage links per user with clear permissions
- Analytics: track clicks and see where your visitors come from
- Role-based access control: keep security tight with customizable roles
- Open source and self-hosted: run it on your own infrastructure under the MIT license
SaaS or Self-Hosted
Linanok is available in two ways:
- Self-hosted: deploy it on your own infrastructure and keep full control
- SaaS: use the hosted version and get started instantly, no server setup required
This flexibility means teams can choose the model that best fits their workflow.
Who is it for?
Linanok is built for businesses, organizations, and teams that need to share short, branded links without losing control of their data. If you want to keep things in-house while still providing your staff with a professional tool, this is for you.
