Is RELURL open source?
No, this is a hosted alternative. It gives you the flexibility and control people seek from self-hosted tools, without the server and maintenance burden.

Self-hosted-style control without the maintenance
Open Source URL Shortener Alternative
Considering a self-hosted or open source URL shortener? Get similar flexibility and control without running servers — a hosted, always-maintained option.
Self-hosting an open source URL shortener gives you total control — but it also hands you servers, security patches, updates, and uptime duty. For most teams, that's a heavy tax for flexibility they don't fully need. RELURL offers the practical alternative: the control you want without the maintenance. You choose slugs and domains, manage links and analytics, and govern settings from a dashboard — while RELURL handles the hosting, reliability, security, and updates underneath. It's the best of both worlds: the ownership that matters to you, combined with a service that stays online and maintained for you. No servers to babysit, no patches to apply, just control plus convenience.
