GoSlash

About

Private, local-first shortlinks. Type "go" in the address bar to open links, wildcards, and tab bundles. No servers, no tracking.

GoSlash turns your address bar into a launcher. Type go, press Space, then a short alias — and you're there. No new tab to a bookmarks page, no fuzzy history search, no reaching for the mouse.

It's completely local. Your shortcuts live in your browser and never touch a server. No account, no sync cloud, no analytics.

What you can do

• Shortlinks — go cal opens your calendar, go docs your docs. Save the page you're on in two clicks from the toolbar popup.

• Wildcards — make templates with {*}. A gh/{*} shortcut turns go gh/anthropics into github.com/anthropics. Whatever you type after the alias gets dropped into the URL.

• Tab bundles — one alias opens a whole set of tabs at once, neatly wrapped in a named, colored Chrome tab group. Great for "start my day" or "this project."

• Smart Focus — if the site is already open in any window, GoSlash jumps to that tab instead of opening a duplicate.

• Domain overrides — send the same alias to a different URL depending on the site you're currently on.

• A clean dashboard — search, edit, and organize everything. Light, dark, or match-your-system theme. Import and export your whole setup as a single JSON file for backup or moving between machines.

Private by design

Everything is stored in chrome.storage.local. GoSlash makes no network requests and collects nothing. Your shortcuts are yours.

How to use it

Click the address bar and type go, then press Space or Tab.
Type a shortcut alias and press Enter.
To add shortcuts: open any page, click the GoSlash icon (or press ⌘/Ctrl + Shift + .), pick an alias, and hit Enter.
Unknown text just becomes a Google search, so go is always safe to type.
