LinkSwift Pro is a web-based utility that transforms long, cluttered web addresses into short, manageable links. Beyond shortening, it tracks who clicks your links, where they come from, and what devices they use.

3. Managing Your Links
Once you have created links, you can manage them in the Link Dashboard.
View All Links: Scroll down to see a list of every URL you have shortened.
Edit/Delete: Use the icons next to each link to change the destination or remove the link entirely.
Organization: Links are typically sorted by date, with the most recent appearing at the top.
