Urlmskr

About Urlmskr

Urlmskr is a URL masking tool that transforms a link into an obfuscated version that still redirects to the original destination while hiding the target site from the recipient. It runs entirely on the frontend, requires no backend server, and stores no data, so it can be hosted anywhere. A masked link's destination can be revealed by appending "+reveal" to the end of the URL.

The project also provides libraries for integrating the masking function into other applications, with implementations available in JavaScript, PHP, Python, and Ruby that can be pasted or imported directly into a project's code. It is suited for developers who want to embed link-masking or lightweight URL-shortening functionality into their own sites or tools without running server infrastructure.
