Three ways to control access to a link, all Pro and up, all set from the link’s create dialog or edit page.
Password protection
Visitors see a clean password page and must enter the correct password before being redirected. Passwords are stored hashed — we can’t read them either. Unlocking lasts one hour per visitor.
Expiration
Set a date and time after which the link stops redirecting. Optionally set a fallback URL — expired visitors go there instead of seeing the branded “link expired” page. You’re notified when a link expires, and you can revive one by clearing or extending its date.
Click limits
Cap the total number of redirects. The count is enforced atomically — the limit is exact even under heavy concurrent traffic. When it’s reached the link disables itself (or sends visitors to the fallback URL), and you’re notified at 80% and at the cap.
