How it works

Links that open the app, not a broken browser.

One smart link that opens the app — not a dead in-app browser — and shows you every click. Short links, a link-in-bio page, and a QR code on every link.

How it works

Live in three steps

From long URL to smart, trackable deep link — in under a minute.

01

Paste your link

Drop in any long URL — a product page, video, playlist, or profile — and get a clean short link in seconds.

02

Customize it

Pick a memorable slug, grab the QR code, and choose exactly how the link behaves — open the app, or fall back to the web.

03

Share & track

Post it once, everywhere. Watch clicks, devices, and app opens roll in live from a single dashboard.

Why deep links

Why your links keep opening in the wrong place

Tapping a link inside Instagram traps people in a tiny in-app browser where they aren’t logged in and can’t buy. directinapp detects the app and opens it directly — so your followers land exactly where you want them.

Logged out. Autofill broken. They give up.

A normal link

Every link is also a QR code

A scannable QR is generated automatically — print it on flyers, packaging, or a poster. Free plans get a standard QR; Premium unlocks custom colours.

Frequently asked questions

How do directinapp links open the app?+

When someone taps your short link on a phone, directinapp detects the destination's native app and opens the exact screen inside it, falling back to the website if the app isn't installed.

How long does setup take?+

Under a minute. Paste any link, get a short link plus a QR code, and share it — no code and no app install required.

Does it work inside Instagram and TikTok in-app browsers?+

Yes — that's the point. Links break out of the in-app browser and open the destination's real app.

Do I need to install anything?+

No. directinapp works entirely from the web, and your visitors never install anything either.

What happens if the visitor doesn't have the app?+

The link falls back to the website automatically, so the visitor always reaches the content — no dead ends.
