Tired of forgetting where your most-used links live?

💡
What if you could type go/recipes or go/email in your browser and land exactly where you need — instantly? Nice! Take me there

That’s exactly what a Private URL Shortener does.

🧠 Wait, What Is It Exactly?

A private URL shortener is like having your own secret language for the web. You create custom link shortcuts that only work for you (or your team), right in your browser.

Instead of typing or digging up long links like:

You just type:

go/onboarding

🔐 Private = Secure and Personal

Unlike Bitly or TinyURL — which are public and trackable — SimpleURL is:

  • Private to your browser or workspace

  • Not accessible by others

  • Customisable for whatever YOU want to remember

You don’t even need to be technical to use it. Just install the Chrome extension and start naming your links.

📦 Think of it as:

  • Your personal memory bank for links

  • A fast-access launcher for your digital workspace

  • A tool that turns your browser into your second brain

Excited! 👉 Check how you can create your first link now
