Go-shorter

About

Go-shorter brings personal go-links to your browser. Save any URL under a short name and reach it instantly by typing go/<name> in the address bar — no DNS changes, no servers, no sign-up.

🚀 HOW IT WORKS
Type "go/gh" → opens https://github.com
Type "go/cal" → opens https://calendar.google.com
Type "go/jira" → opens your team's Jira instance

Two ways to navigate:
• Type go/<name> in the address bar — Go-shorter intercepts the search before results render and redirects you instantly.
• Or use the omnibox keyword: type "go", press Tab, then the name.

✨ FEATURES
• Instant address-bar navigation with go/<name>
• Add new shortlinks on the fly — visiting an unknown go-link opens an Add form pre-filled with the name
• Full management page: search, edit, delete, import & export as JSON
• Real favicons next to each saved link
• Light & dark theme (follows your system preference)
• Keyboard shortcuts: / to focus search, n for new shortlink, Esc to dismiss

🔒 PRIVACY-FIRST
• 100% local — all data lives in chrome.storage.local
• No analytics, no telemetry, no tracking
• No accounts, no sign-up, no servers
• No data ever leaves your device

🌐 WORKS WITH ANY DEFAULT SEARCH ENGINE
Compatible with any search engine that uses a standard query parameter — your existing browser setup just works.

💾 BACKUP & TRANSFER
Export your shortlinks as a JSON file from the Manage page to back them up or move them between devices. Import them anywhere with one click.
