How it works

01
Paste your link

Drop any URL into the tracker and you instantly get a short link like creatorlanehq.com/r/x7Km2 — plus a private stats URL. Custom back-half optional, after creating.

02
Share it anywhere

Bio, DMs, email, WhatsApp, a printed QR — anywhere a link goes. The short link keeps redirecting indefinitely.

03
Watch clicks land

Every click is counted in real time on your stats page. Bookmark the stats URL, or add your email after creating and we'll send it to you.

What you actually get

Every click on your short link records three things: a timestamp, the referrer (instagram.com, t.co, direct…), and a coarse country. That's the whole list — we don't fingerprint devices or build ad profiles.

Visitor IPs are SHA-256 hashed for deduplication and never stored raw or shown back to you. Your stats page is a private URL tied to the link — no dashboard login, no account.

Frequently asked

Do the links expire?
No. Short links keep redirecting and counting clicks indefinitely. Bookmark the stats URL — it's the only way back in unless you add an email.
Can I use my own domain?
Free links live on creatorlanehq.com. Per-creator branded subdomains come with Creator Lane campaigns, where every DM link is wrapped automatically.
What do you track about my visitors?
Timestamp, referrer, and coarse country. IPs are SHA-256 hashed for dedup and never stored raw or echoed back.
Is there a catch?
No paywall and no cap. It's a free tool from Creator Lane — we hope that when you're monetizing on Instagram you'll try the full product, which wraps DM links with this same tracker. The free tool stays free either way.
How many links can I create?
Unlimited, rate-limited to 10 new links per hour per network to stop abuse.
