Trelay

Developer-first URL management. Dashboard, CLI, and API in a single self-hosted package.

Full-Stack Developer & Systems Engineer

Challenge

Most URL shorteners are either consumer-simple or tied to centralised services. Developers who want self-hosted control end up compromising on usability, automation, or integration.

Solution

Trelay has a dashboard, a CLI, and an API. All three share the same surface, so you carry one mental model across every entry point. Expiring links, one-time access, analytics, and custom routing ship in a single container. The UI feels like a developer tool: dense information, clear affordances.

Impact

Teams can manage links as part of their own infrastructure, with the polish of a hosted service.
