We make links that outlive the campaign
A printed code is different from a pasted link in one way that changes everything: you cannot take it back.
Klip started with a printer's complaint. A client had moved a landing page, four hundred posters were pointing at nothing, and the only fix on offer was to print four hundred more. The technology to avoid that has existed for years — a redirect is not a hard idea — but the tools that offer it treat printed codes as an afterthought to link sharing.
A printed code is different from a pasted link in one way that changes everything: you cannot take it back. It is on a wall, a menu, the side of a matatu. Whoever printed it has made a promise on your behalf, and the software behind it inherits that promise.
What does Klip do?
Klip makes short links and QR codes whose destination can be changed after printing. A code encodes a short link rather than your web address, so moving a page does not turn printed material into dead paper — and every scan is counted, with bot fetches separated out rather than folded into the total.
Your links keep redirecting whether or not you are paying us. Downgrade, cancel, forget the password — the codes already printed keep working. What a lapsed plan costs you is history, custom domains and new links. Never the redirect.
We are aware this removes our best lever. That is why it is written on the pricing page as well as here.
No interstitial, no ad, no “you are being redirected”. Someone in a queue holding up a phone should land where they meant to.
Chat apps fetch every link that gets pasted. Reporting those as engagement makes the number bigger and the decision worse.
Shillings, M-Pesa, and a free tier that does a real job rather than expiring into a sales call.
