LinkNest — Bio Link & Short URL Platform

Bio-link tools are cheap until you have a team, several brands and an analytics requirement — then the seat pricing stops making sense. LinkNest gives you the whole thing on your own domain: bio pages, short links, QR codes, click analytics and team accounts, with no per-user fee and no data leaving your server.

Bio pages people will actually use

The page builder handles link blocks, headings, dividers, embedded video, image cards, an email capture block, social icon rows and a scheduling block that shows or hides links between dates. Twelve themes ship with the product and every one is editable down to colours, fonts, corner radius and background treatment. Pages score well on Core Web Vitals because they render server-side with inlined critical CSS.

Short links with the details right

Create links with custom slugs or generated ones, add expiry dates, click caps, password protection, device or country targeting, and deep links for mobile apps. A built-in UTM builder writes consistent campaign parameters so your analytics stay clean. Bulk import accepts CSV, and the REST API covers creation, updates and stats retrieval with token authentication.

Analytics you can trust

Every click records timestamp, referrer, country, device class and campaign parameters, with bot filtering against a maintained user-agent list. Dashboards show trends, top links, referrer breakdowns and geographic distribution, and everything exports to CSV. No third-party tracker is embedded anywhere, which makes consent handling considerably simpler.

Team and brand ready

Workspaces separate brands, roles control who can publish, and custom domains can be attached per workspace with automatic certificate provisioning documented for common stacks. White-label settings remove product branding entirely, making this practical for agencies delivering to clients.
