Temporary Links with Expiration
Create short links that automatically stop working after a date you choose.
Set an expiry date on any short link created on os.md. Once the date passes, visitors see a "Link Expired" page instead of being redirected. Perfect for time-limited offers, event invitations, temporary file sharing, and any situation where a link should only work for a limited time.
