What it does
Each user gets one public page listing their links, and an admin area manages users, links and themes. Themes change the whole look and can be uploaded as a zip file through that admin area, so no code is needed to restyle it. A built-in updater fetches new versions and takes a backup first. It supports SQLite by default and MySQL as an alternative, and the published Docker image runs PHP 8.2 on Apache. The project also runs free hosted instances for people who do not want to install anything. It does not shorten links, does not count clicks in any depth, and gives no attribution reporting — this is a landing page, not a measurement tool.
Why it matters
Who it suits. Anyone who publishes on more than two platforms and needs one address that points at all of them. It suits people with no command line at all, because the non-Docker install really is copy the files and open the page. It also suits a small group — a band, a club, a team — because one installation serves many users. Skip it if what you actually want is to know which link gets clicked, because a link shortener answers that and this does not.
Verdict. Worth an hour, with one reservation about pace. The last code landed on 21 July 2026, so it is alive. The releases are erratic: v4.8.5 and v4.8.6 both arrived on 26 January 2026, after a gap of about fourteen months from the previous one. That pattern is fine for a page of links, where nothing much needs to change, and it would worry me in anything holding money or credentials. Two cautions from its own documentation are worth repeating: the updater keeps only two backups, and if you use MySQL the updater's backup does not include the database at all. Take your own copy before updating.
- Installs with no command line: unpack the files, open the page, follow the installer.
- Many users and uploadable themes from one installation.
- Plain AGPL-3.0, with free hosted instances if you would rather not install it.
- Release pace is erratic, with a fourteen-month gap in the recent history.
- The built-in updater does not back up a MySQL database, and keeps only two backups.
- No click counting or attribution, so it tells you nothing about what works.

3.1k stars, MIT; plain HTML and CSS with branded buttons, so there is nothing to maintain, and no admin area or multiple users either.
