Polr
Polr is a self-hosted URL shortener and link analytics platform. It allows users to create concise aliases for long web addresses and store all redirection and analytics data on private infrastructure to maintain full ownership of information.
The system functions as a custom domain link manager, enabling the assignment of branded domains or specific naming schemes to shortened URLs. It also serves as a programmatic link orchestrator, providing a structured API and a command-line interface to automate link generation and perform administrative tasks without a manual dashboard.
The platform covers core URL management capabilities, including the transformation of long addresses into brief links and the tracking of redirection metrics.
