Serverless link shortener with analytics on Cloudflare infrastructure
A fast, secure URL shortener with built-in analytics, running entirely on Cloudflare's serverless platform. Features custom slugs, AI-powered slug generation, and link expiration.
Sink is a serverless link shortener built to run entirely on Cloudflare's edge infrastructure, delivering speed, security, and zero server management. Designed for developers and teams who need reliable URL shortening without infrastructure overhead, Sink combines essential link management features with real-time analytics.
The platform offers URL compression with customizable slugs (including case-sensitive options), AI-powered slug generation, and configurable link expiration. Analytics are powered by Cloudflare Workers Analytics Engine, providing insights into link performance without third-party tracking dependencies. The serverless architecture ensures global edge deployment with minimal latency.
Built with Nuxt and Vue, styled with Tailwind CSS and shadcn-vue components, Sink stores data in Cloudflare Workers KV. The project includes a browser extension (Sink Tool), Raycast extension, Apple Shortcuts integration, and an iOS app for cross-platform access. Deployment targets Cloudflare Workers or Pages, with API access and OpenAPI documentation for programmatic integration. Released under AGPL-3.0, the project welcomes contributions for enhanced link management, analytics improvements, and performance optimization.
