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 is an URL shortener that sits in your Mac's menu bar. It supports 17 different services by default and is highly extensible. When opening Short Menu, it automatically takes 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.

As the founder of Rebrandly I’m delighted to see Short Menu featured on Product hunt. They built an integration with our link branding tool and our users absolutely love it. Great job guys! https://www.rebrandly.com/apps/s...
Pros:Integrates with Rebrandly Branded Links
Cons:You have to install it
I used AutoHotkey on Windows to shorten multiple links from clipboard and copy them back to the same position on clipboard. I wish this was possible with Short Menu app for Mac.
Pros:One click shorten with keyboard shortcuts.
Cons:Can be improved with an ability to shorten multiple links in one click.
