What is Shortlink?
Shortlink is a free tool that converts custom scheme URLs into universal web links that work in any application or platform.
Have you ever tried to share a slack:// or zoom:// link in Notion, Obsidian, or an email, only to find it doesn't work? Shortlink solves this problem by creating a clickable web link that properly redirects to your custom protocol.
Why We Built This
Many modern apps use custom URL schemes for deep linking - like slack://, notion://, or obsidian://. These work great when clicked directly from your browser or OS, but break when embedded in web apps, documentation, or shared content.
We created Shortlink to bridge this gap and make deep linking truly universal.
How It Works
Paste Your Link
Enter any custom scheme URL (like slack://channel/ABC123)
Choose Your Mode
Auto-redirect (instant) or manual mode (user clicks to open)
Share Anywhere
Your new link works in Notion, Obsidian, Slack, email, and everywhere else
