What you get for $24 once
- Exact, wildcard and regex rules. 301, 302 or 307 status codes with $1 to $9 capture substitution and active/inactive toggles.
- Bulk CSV import/export. Dump hundreds of old-URL to new-URL mappings straight from a migration spreadsheet.
- Hit tracking per rule. Count, last hit and last referrer show which old URLs still get traffic, and tracking soft-fails so it can never break a redirect.
- 404 rescue. Unmatched paths are logged with counts so you can convert a high-traffic 404 into a redirect rule in one click.
- UTM / query passthrough. Incoming ?utm_* params merge into the target URL via a per-rule toggle.
- No renewal, ever. The license does not expire and there is no per-seat meter — $24 is the whole price.
Pricing questions
Is it really free on GitHub?

Where does my redirect data live?
In a SQLite file on your own server. It is 100% local: no telemetry, no external services.
Is this a subscription in disguise?
No. $24 once, no renewal, no plan caps on the number of rules.
