Qlynk is a link shortener built and hosted in France. On phones, links to YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Spotify and about fifty other apps open straight in the app, where people are already logged in, instead of the browser. Click stats leave out bots and chat-app previews, so you only count real people. No cookies on visitors, IPs never stored in full. Free plan with no card; Pro from €12/month adds custom back-halves, full history and export. REST API and open-source Claude skill.

Hi Product Hunt, I'm Fabien, a freelance developer in France. I built Qlynk after noticing something annoying: when you send a YouTube or Instagram link by text or email, it often opens in the browser, where people aren't logged in. They don't subscribe, they don't follow, they leave. A Qlynk link detects the phone and opens the app directly, for about fifty apps, with no SDK. The other thing I wanted was honest numbers. WhatsApp, Slack or LinkedIn "visit" your link to build a preview, and that often gets counted as a click. Qlynk leaves bots and previews out, so you only see people. It's hosted in France, sets no cookies on the people who click, and the free plan needs no card. The interface is in English, French and Spanish, and there's a REST API plus an open-source Claude skill. I'd love your honest feedback, especially on the deep links: which app should I support next?
