Squeezin

The problem

Most link shorteners show ads or ask you to sign up, and you cannot see where a short link goes.

What it does

Squeezin is a free shortener with no ads or signup. Every new link is scanned first, and adding + to a link shows where it goes.

How it works

1. Paste a long link, and the short squeez.in link is ready to copy, with expiry (never, 24 hours, 7 days or one time) and a QR code
2. Every new link is scanned for known threats, crypto scams included, before it is made; a refused link says why in plain words
3. Add + to any squeez.in link to open its check page: destination, redirects, HTTPS, creator and scan result, before you open it

TodayLive: the shortener, expiry, the QR code, the safety scan and the + check pages. Planned, not live yet: accounts, click counts, the agent (MCP) server, reports and paid add-ons.

The film

Aims

Autonomous operation

Shortening, redirects, link checks and expiry are meant to run without people: a link is made, checked against Google Safe Browsing and user reports, served as a redirect and expired on schedule. People handle abuse reports, appeals and anything a check flags.

Intelligence

Mostly plain code: short codes, redirects, safety lookups, click counts. Agents are a customer, not the engine: through the MCP server an agent creates, checks and expires links, and every link it makes carries its name on the check page.

Growth

Free is the whole product: unlimited links, QR codes, custom endings, expiry and click counts at no cost and with no ads. Revenue is small and optional: a $2 handle, Pro at $3 a month for your own domain and editable links, and agents paying per link from a prepaid balance.
