in times of social networks and smartphones we use urls all day. but they can be really long too long! they neither look pleasant on our small screens nor in longer texts on big screens. they take away space important space.
short menu solves this problem. it sends your long url to a service of your choice, which then returns a short url you can use instead.
short menu, its 2 action extensions and today widget support 17 different services (5 require signin) and is extremely easy to use. on launch it will automatically take the url from your clipboard. you only have to press one button, then short menu will shorten your url and automatically copy the short url for you.
after shortening, short menu saves both the short and long url in your history, which will be synced with icloud to ensure you got all your short urls on all your devices (even on your mac if you're using the macos version).
short menu perfectly integrates with bit.ly, rebrandly, google, hive, tiny.cc, droplr and cloudapp (for using rebrandly, tiny.cc, droplr or cloudapp, an account is obligatory). you can easily manage all your accounts in short menu's settings and, if you added multiple accounts for the same service, activate the account short menu shall use.
got your own url service? short menu can handle it. you can add as many custom services as you like. short menu can send both get and post requests, add http headers and supports different encodings for post requests. to avoid the need of entering the same information about your custom services again and again, they will be synced with icloud.
