Help

frwrd.to turns long links into short ones, with a QR code and click numbers for each. It also hosts bio pages that you write in Markdown, and every link on a page becomes a short link with its own numbers. A workspace belongs to a domain, and there are no user accounts.

Four ways in

You can do the same things through each of them:

• Web app at app.frwrd.to: sign in with your key, then manage links, pages and numbers.
• REST API at https://api.frwrd.to, under /v1. The Bit.ly compatible /v4 sits next to it for tools that already speak Bit.ly.
• MCP at https://api.frwrd.to/mcp, for agents such as Claude.
• The frwrd command-line tool, for the shell and for scripts.

One key opens all of them

Your workspace key (it starts with fw_) is the only credential. The web app, the API, MCP and the command-line tool all take it, and it is shown once when you create the workspace. Keep it in a password manager, and never put it in a URL or on a page.

Every page here is also available as Markdown: add .md to its address.
