Kutt.it Chrome Extension

This extension provides a convenient interface for creating and managing short links using the Kutt.it API.

Features

• Configure the base URL of your Kutt deployment and authenticate with your X-API-KEY
• Create new short links with optional description, custom slug, and custom domain
• View your most recent links directly from the popup
• Copy links to the clipboard in one click
• Jump to link statistics on Kutt.it
• Shorten the active tab instantly from the popup, keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+K / ⌘+Shift+K), or context menu
• Choose whether links should copy automatically and if analytics should open after creation

Development

1. Open Chrome and navigate to chrome://extensions.
2. Enable Developer mode in the top-right corner.
3. Click Load unpacked and select this project folder.
4. Open the extension popup and follow the link to the settings page to add your base URL and API key.

Shortcuts & quick actions

• Use Ctrl+Shift+K (Windows/Linux) or ⌘+Shift+K (macOS) to shorten the active tab instantly. You can change this shortcut on chrome://extensions/shortcuts.
• Right-click any page or link and choose Shorten with Kutt.it to create a short link from the context menu.
