Tinbo
Tinbo creates branded short links that route visitors by rules such as location and device, and reports people and AI-agent traffic separately from other automated visits. Creators, marketers, agencies, app teams, and developers use it to manage and measure links.
Who it's for
- Affiliate marketers routing shoppers to country-specific stores or testing destinations against affiliate earnings.
- Agencies managing client links, domains, access roles, UTM templates, and reports in separate workspaces.
- Developers and app teams creating links through a REST API or routing visitors to app stores and their own apps.
Not the right fit if…
- Teams that need Tinbo's own-app deep links on a non-Pro plan: the page lists that capability as Pro.
- Creators on iPhone who need Instagram links to open an app in one tap: the page says Instagram requires one more tap.
How it fits your workflow
Sign up, get a Tinbo subdomain, and paste a destination URL to create a short link. Add routing rules for destinations such as country, device, or A/B test, then change those rules in the dashboard without replacing the link.
Share the link in posts, messages, ads, or QR codes. Where supported, it opens the destination app; otherwise it can fall back to a browser. Analytics show people and AI agents separately from other automated visits.
For automation, create or update links through the REST API, or connect an MCP-compatible assistant to a workspace to manage links, tags, folders, and domains.

Key features
- Visitor-based link routing
- Send visitors to different destinations using rules such as country, device, A/B testing, and redirect controls. Rules can be changed in the dashboard without changing the short link.
- App-opening links and deep links
- Open supported apps instead of leaving visitors in a browser tab, with a browser fallback when the app is not installed. Pro supports links on a custom domain that open the user's own iOS or Android app on the relevant screen.
- Click analytics and noise separation
- View click numbers, latest clicks, and a noise view. Tinbo separates people and AI agents from crawlers, link previews, probes, and scanners in its reporting.
- Branded links and QR codes
- Use a custom domain or Tinbo's free subdomain, create custom slugs, set social previews, and generate QR codes.
- Link protection and organization
- Protect links with passwords and use an audit log, tags, folders, search, filters, the Library, and bulk creation to manage links.
- API and MCP automation
- Create and update links through a REST API, or use an MCP server to let a compatible assistant create, find, and change links, tags, folders, and domains.
Works with
- MCP-compatible assistants
- Mobile and content apps
- iOS and Android apps
Limitations to know
- On iPhone, links opened inside Instagram require one more tap because Instagram only lets a tap open apps.
- Tinbo's own-app deep links on a custom domain are described as a Pro feature.
- App-opening behavior varies by app and device; the page says Amazon and Etsy links get a normal redirect on iPhone, while eBay item links open in the app.
