Description
Shortening URLs helps to manage them for both large-scale projects and everyday tasks. Shorter URLs save valuable space in your spreadsheets by fitting in smaller cells. They also look better than their full-length versions. Use ShortenMyURL to shorten URLs in no time on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. And now, save even more time with ShortenMyURL's new “Session History” feature, which shows your most recent long and shortened URLs.
ShortenMyURL is an open-source app meaning that its codebase is freely available on GitHub, which enables you to:
1) ensure that no nefarious background activity is conducted by this app;
2) see/learn the inner workings of this app (if that's your thing); and,
3) customize builds per your liking for any device (if that's your thing).

Ratings and Reviews
Amazing but Sketchy
I used to use this all the time, especially for aesthetic reasons when sharing long links. Now I have to use tinyURL. my Internet blocks, whatever link I have shortened using this app as potential ransom or malware. thought I should let the developer know now.
Developer Response ,
Oh no, I’m sorry to hear that. It seems to be working fine on my devices when I connect through various means to the internet. Is this issue limited to your iPhone, and/or a specific Wi-Fi, perhaps? I’d assume that it’s an aggressive filter your ISP employs, that maybe your cellular provider and other ISPs don’t…
Simple, effective, intuitive design
I needed an app that would quickly and simply shorten my links. Other apps like Bit.ly had way too many gimmicks that I didn't use. ShortenMyUrl gives exactly what I need and I'm in and out of the app within 5 seconds. Other app designers could take a lesson from this one!
Developer Response ,
Thanks for the kind words! Have a great one 👊
First time I used the app, the shortened URL led to ad for porn site
Pasted shortened URL and it redirected to a porn ad, so be sure to check before sending if you use this. Yikes. Glad I didn’t send. App deleted.
Developer Response ,
Since v3.1.0, ShortenMyURL now uses a different, improved third-party link shortening service that is yet to show ads.
