  1. Sign in with Google

    We shipped Sign in with Google. If typing a password every time felt like the wrong amount of friction for a link shortener, that's gone now -- one click on the login screen and you're in with the Google account you already use everywhere else.

    What actually shipped:

    • One-click sign-in and sign-up with Google, right next to email/password on the login screen.
    • Same secure session underneath as email/password auth -- OAuth is a new front door, not a different security model.
    • Already have an account under that email? Signing in with Google links to it instead of creating a duplicate.

    Under the hood this plugs into the same session infrastructure we already shipped, so nothing about how sessions work changed -- just a faster way to reach them.

    Try it at app.morphr.link -- and if you're curious what's next, the roadmap has the rest.

  2. Redirects now resolve at the CDN edge

    A short link is only as good as how fast it redirects. We moved that as close to the visitor as it gets.

    Redirects now resolve at the CDN edge with a long cache, so a click doesn't wait on a round trip to our origin. The part we didn't want to sacrifice: freshness. Change where a link points, and the update queues a purge that reaches the edge in seconds instead of waiting out the cache.

    What shipped:

    • Redirects served from the edge on every click, not from origin.
    • Changes propagate in seconds via automatic purge, not slow cache expiry.
    • Built to hold up as click volume grows, not just today's traffic.

    Try it: app.morphr.link

  3. Smarter slugs: instant availability checks

    Typing a slug, hitting save, and getting told it's taken is a bad loop. So we closed it.

    Slug availability now checks in real time as you type -- and if the one you want is gone, we hand you suggestions instead of leaving you to guess again.

    What shipped:

    • Instant availability check as you type a slug, before you submit.
    • Suggested alternatives the moment your first pick is taken.
    • Fewer failed submits, faster to a working link

    Folders and tags to organize what you create are built on the API too -- the app screens to manage them are next.

    Try it: app.morphr.link

  4. Links API and domain picker

    Before anything else works, you need to be able to make a link. So that's where we started.

    Full CRUD for short links now lives in the API -- create, read, update, and delete, all callable directly, not locked behind the app UI. And when you create one, you're not stuck guessing which domain it'll live on: pick from the domains actually available to your workspace right there in the flow.

    What shipped:

    • Create, update, and delete links via the API -- script it, integrate it, build on it.
    • Domain picker on link creation -- see your workspace's domains, choose the right one per link.
    • The base every other link feature builds on -- targeting rules, expiration, and everything else on this roadmap sits on top of this.

    Try it: app.morphr.link

  5. Sign in with email & password

    Sign-in is done right, finally.

    We rebuilt authentication from the ground up: email + password, required email verification, and sessions backed by short-lived signed JWTs instead of long-lived cookies that quietly become a liability. Every request gets checked against that token before anything happens -- nothing slips through unauthenticated.

    Here's what shipped:

    • Email + password sign-in, gated behind email verification so unverified accounts can't touch your data.
    • Secure sessions issued and verified via ES256-signed JWTs -- the same auth layer every other Morphr service trusts.
    • Workspace roles, built into the API -- editor and viewer permissions already exist under the hood. The team-management screen to invite people and assign roles is next.

    This is the foundation everything else on the roadmap stands on. Up next: Google & Apple sign-in for one-click login, and the frontend to go with the roles we already built.

    Sign in with secure sessions

    You shouldn't have to think about how sign-in works -- just that it's fast and it holds. Sign-in runs on email + password with required email verification, backed by sessions issued as short-lived, ES256-signed JWTs instead of a plain session cookie. Every authenticated request gets that token checked before anything happens. Why it matters to you: You stay signed in -- close the tab, come back tomorrow, still logged in. No mystery logouts. Verified accounts only -- email verification is required before an account can touch any data, which keeps throwaway and spam signups out from day one. It's the foundation, not a bolt-on -- Google/Apple sign-in and workspace roles both build on this exact same session layer. We wanted the boring, load-bearing part of the product -- token expiry, verification, session handling -- solid before building the exciting parts on top of it. Everything else on this roadmap sits on this.
