DEEP LINKS
Open your app, not a browser.
One smart link that opens your mobile app to the exact screen — iOS Universal Links and Android App Links — with a web fallback and a click counted on every tap.

WHY IT'S DIFFERENT
Deep links without the DevOps.
Opens the native app
iOS Universal Links and Android App Links open your app straight to the right screen — no custom URL scheme, no interstitial redirect.
Graceful web fallback
Not installed, or on desktop? The same link lands on a web URL you choose. One link works everywhere.
Click tracking built in
Every tap is counted, so you can measure re-engagement and attribution without wiring up analytics.
Association files hosted
We serve the apple-app-site-association and assetlinks.json for you — no DevOps, no per-app hosting to maintain.
Made for email & push
Drop the links straight into the emails and push notifications you already send from the same account.
One config, both platforms
Set your app identifiers once; iOS and Android are generated together and stay in sync.
THE API
Connect your app, then create links.
/deeplinks/associationRegister your iOS App IDs and Android package + cert fingerprints. We generate and host the association files./deeplinksMint a short link with a web fallback and an in-app path. Returns the public link URL./l/:key/:slug/resolveYour app SDK reads the link's deep-data (in-app path + payload) after it opens.WHAT TEAMS BUILD
Every link lands in the right place.
Re-engagement
Win users back with an email or push whose link drops them exactly where they left off — inside the app.
Transactional deep links
“Order shipped” → opens the order screen. Fire it from the same backend event that sends the receipt.
Campaign links
Promo links that open the offer in-app for installed users, and the web landing page for everyone else.
Referrals & invites
Share one link that installs-then-opens or opens directly, carrying the invite context into the app.
Deep Links FAQ
What are Universal Links and App Links?
They're the OS-native way to open an app from a normal https:// link. iOS (Universal Links) and Android (App Links) verify your app against a domain, then route matching links to the app instead of the browser — with an automatic web fallback when the app isn't installed.
Do I need to change my app?
A little: add our link domain to your iOS Associated Domains and your Android intent filters, and read the link on open. We handle everything on the server — hosting the association files and resolving each link.
Do I need my own domain?
No. Links are served on our branded link domain, and we host the association files there for every tenant. Bring-your-own link domain is on the roadmap.
How is the click tracked?
When a link is opened on the web (desktop or app-not-installed), our resolver records the click before redirecting to your fallback. Installed-app opens are handled by the OS.
How is it billed?
Deep links are part of your account and share the same dashboard and API as email and push. Create as many as you need.
BETTER TOGETHER

Everything shares the same API key, dashboard and events — add another service whenever you're ready, without new vendors or new plumbing.
