What works offline: everything. Trimly is a desktop app — once it's installed, no feature needs a connection to us.
Trimly on Windows — honest answers
Is it really free on GitHub?
Yes — MIT source at github.com/bensblueprints/link-shortener-mvp. The $79 buys the packaged 1-click installer, updates and setup support.
Do I need a server for public links?
Yes — public short links need a public host, so budget a $5/mo VPS. Desktop mode works fully offline for QR generation and campaign planning. Even VPS + Trimly year one costs less than 3 months of Bitly.
