In their own words

AWSYS.CO

AWSYS.CO shortens URLs and manages links across Android, iOS, Windows, web, browser extension, and API use. It provides custom domains, bulk link creation, QR-code generation, link controls, and analytics covering geography, device, browser, referrer, and click timelines. Links can expire or stop after a click limit, while permanent links are the default. A real-time trust score uses Google Safe Browsing, with automatic blocking of malicious destinations. The service offers a REST API, TypeScript, Python, and Go SDKs, plus an MCP server for compatible agents. Its Chrome extension shortens pages and exposes recent links and click counts. A 14-day trial is listed.
