A link shortener that does one thing.
Kondaino — from the Greek root for "to make short." We built it for developers, solo founders, and newsletter writers who just need short links that work, with honest pricing and no surveillance bolted on.
Paste in a long URL and Kondaino hands back a short one at
https://kdourl.com/<code> — e.g.
https://kdourl.com/g — that redirects straight to your
original link. Registering, logging in, and managing your links all happen
at kdourl.com too; this site is just the
pitch.

No tracking. Not even a little.
Most URL shorteners harvest click analytics — IP addresses, device fingerprints, browser data — and aggregate or resell it. We don't.
- We log a click count so you can see it on your own dashboard. That's the entire purpose.
- No IP logging, no device or browser fingerprinting, no third-party analytics scripts riding along on your redirects.
- We never sell or share click data with advertisers, data brokers, or anyone else. There's nothing to sell — we don't collect it.
- Nothing to opt out of, because there's no tracking to begin with. That's a feature, not a compliance checkbox.
Built to do one thing well
No vanity-metric dashboards, no "AI-powered insights" upsell, no team seats you don't need as a solo founder, no nag screens pushing you to a tier you didn't ask for. Kondaino shortens links, tracks how many times they were clicked, and gets out of your way — in the dashboard and through the API.
Why we built it this way
- One base rate for everyone — discounted further the longer you commit, never based on how much you use it. No "contact sales" paywall for basic functionality.
- No per-click overages — your bill doesn't change because a link went viral.
- The API ships with the paid plan as a normal feature, not a separate "enterprise" add-on or metered surcharge.
- Want to upgrade? Email us and we turn it on. No demo, no sales call, no contract.
