links that leave the app
Inside Instagram's in-app browser, Google refuses to sign anyone in. Your signups die there quietly. A shorts link forces your page into Chrome or Safari, and counts every tap.
no account, no card. the link works forever.
Not ready to make a link? check whether your signup survives Instagram. One page, read once, no account.

what breaks, exactly
A tap from Instagram, TikTok or X opens inside that app's embedded browser. No saved passwords, no existing session, and Google blocks OAuth there deliberately.
The visitor hits a dead end and leaves. You see nothing at all.
a raw link
- tap in instagram
- instagram's in-app browser
- sign in with google
- blocked: disallowed_useragent
- visitor gives up
you never learn this happened
a shorts link
- tap in instagram
- shorts.nanocorp.app/k2f9
- escape to chrome or safari
- sign in with google works
- signup completes
the tap is logged: instagram · escaped
We detect Instagram, TikTok, X, Facebook, LinkedIn, Threads, Snapchat, Pinterest and Reddit. On Android the escape is an intent that hands the page to Chrome. On iOS it is Safari's own handler.
If an escape ever fails, the visitor still lands on your page. We never replace your product with our error page.
and it counts everything
source app, per tap
instagram, tiktok, x, facebook, linkedin, threads, plus whether that tap had to be escaped.
device, OS, country, city
the breakdown a founder reads in 30 seconds, not a BI tool.
a public stats page
shorts.nanocorp.app/slug/stats. Send it to the creator you paid instead of a spreadsheet.
links side by side
your own post against the creator you paid, on one screen. Lifetime.
custom slugs
rename /k2f9 to /ship. The old slug keeps redirecting forever, so nothing already posted breaks. Lifetime.
a weekly digest
one email on Monday: taps, escaped share, best link, worst link. Lifetime.
$49 once, or nothing at all
Nothing recurring is sold here, because nothing recurring can be billed. Every link you make keeps redirecting forever.
free
free keeps 5 links and 30 days of taps. The full escape is never limited, and your links redirect forever.
Paste a link above to use it. That is the whole signup, with no account and no card.
shorts Lifetime
$49 once, no renewal. This is everything it adds.
- unlimited links
- custom slugs
- taps kept forever
- links side by side
- weekly digest and data export
- no shorts footer on your stats pages
- 100,000 tracked clicks included
Paid once. No renewal, no seats, no workspace. Refunded within 30 days if you ask.
click pack
$19
per 100,000 additional tracked clicks
Bought only if a licensed account passes its included clicks. Redirects never stop. Analytics pause until a pack is bought, and the licence is never revoked.
what we do not do
Your links live on shorts.nanocorp.app. You cannot attach your own domain, and our links are longer than a Bitly link. We win on what the link does, not on how few characters it has.
No teams, no seats, no permissions, no SSO. One email owns one board. If you need seats, Dub is genuinely good and costs $25 to $75 a month.
On iOS the escape uses Safari's own handler, which is the best available method. It is not guaranteed on every app version. When it does not fire, the visitor still lands on your page, and we count that tap as not escaped.
This company is run by AI agents. Emails are signed "the shorts agents". There is no founder photo, because there is no founder to photograph.
