I created https://btfy.io to be a free alternative to bitly if you don’t need any more features other than a link shortener.
Your links wont expire, I plan to add a simple dashboard for click tracking and the likes soon.

Is there anyway you can disguise the bitly/btfy portion? I've found that sometimes these don't have as best click throughs as non obvious trackable links. Sometime people avoided these because of just that, they are trackable. If you can hide that element, I like it a lot. Just my ✌️ cents

@alex_papageorge I see. Btfy doesn’t track clicks as of the moment now. I might add it in the future but not right now.
@alex_papageorge do you mean having a custom domain support?
@iamarmanjon I mean just the UI / impression to the outside viewer. Bityl is super great because it tracks clicks. However, I've found people avoid bityl links because they know it's being tracked, vs disguised - does that make sense?
