URL shortener app for iOS, iPad OS and macOS

Shorty

.. enter a link and let the magic begin!

About

Shorty is a simple url shortener for iOS, iPadOS and macOS. This is my final project presented at Udacity to achieve the iOS Developer Nanodegree.

By entering the address of the website to be shortened, the user can save an unlimited number of ready-to-use shortened links.

Quick demo

Features

The app lets you:

• Enter the URL of a page to make it shorten using Rel.ink APIs
• Save an unlimited number of addresses by giving them a name for convenience
• Easily share the short link with any supported application
• Open the links saved directly from the app, on Safari

Error handling

If the request to the web service fails, an error will be shown to the user and data won't be saved.
