Custom Short Links
Choose your own slug for branded, memorable short URLs.
Instead of a random code, pick your own slug to create a meaningful, branded short link. Turn any URL into something like os.md/my-brand, os.md/sale, or os.md/portfolio. Custom slugs are easier to remember, look more professional, and build trust when shared on social media, business cards, or in presentations.
Memorable linksA custom slug like os.md/demo is easier to remember and type than a random code.
Brand recognitionUse your brand name, product name, or campaign name in the URL for professional sharing.
Editable anytimeLogged-in users can change the slug later. If you come up with a better name, just update it.
Still ultra-shortEven with a custom slug, the .md domain keeps your links shorter than most other services.
