Syano is a powerful self-hosted URL shortener and open source link management platform. It gives you complete control over your short links with advanced analytics, QR code generation, link-in-bio pages, and enterprise-grade features — all running on your own infrastructure.

Built with Nuxt 3 and PostgreSQL, Syano offers a comprehensive feature set including custom slugs, UTM parameter tracking, password-protected links, link expiration, and multi-user access with granular role-based permissions. The analytics dashboard provides detailed insights including geographic intelligence, browser/device tracking, and click pattern analysis.

As an open source Bitly alternative, Syano ensures complete data sovereignty with no third-party tracking and no recurring SaaS fees. It can be deployed via Docker, traditional VPS, or serverless platforms like Vercel and Netlify. The modern dashboard includes dark mode support, bulk import/export, and a built-in QR code generator with scan tracking.
