About kaf.sh

A straightforward URL shortener and pastebin that just works

What This Is
A simple URL shortener and pastebin that actually works

kaf.sh is a straightforward tool for shortening URLs and sharing text/code. No gimmicks, no complicated pricing tiers, no "enterprise solutions." Just a clean, fast service that does what you expect it to do.

I built this because I got tired of URL shorteners that were slow, cluttered with ads, or disappeared after a few years. This one is designed to stick around and just work reliably.

The Boring But Important Stuff
How I try to keep this thing running

I run this on solid hosting and try to keep it up and running as much as possible. Sometimes things break (like they do), but I usually notice pretty quickly and fix them. I don't promise fancy SLAs or anything, but I do care about keeping your links working.

The service is fast because I didn't overcomplicate it, and it's secure because I'm not doing anything sketchy with your data. Your links and pastes are stored safely, and I have backups in case something goes wrong.

If something breaks or you have issues, you can usually reach me. I'm just one person running this, not a big company, so be patient but I'll try to help.

Questions?
If you need help or something's broken

If something isn't working right or you can't figure out how to do something, check the help page first. It covers most of the common questions.

For the legal stuff, there's a privacy policy and terms of service if you need to read them.
