What Bobby Link does — and does not do yet

Bobby Link is being built in the open, one governed phase at a time. This register states the true condition of every capability. Nothing here is marketing language for something that does not exist.

• Governed short links

  Built — disabled

  Short links on bobby.link with reserved-path protection, an explicit lifecycle of draft, active, paused, blocked and archived, and destination validation. Built and verified; creation and activation remain closed by governance.

• Custom domains

  Designed — not enabled

  Your own domain serving short links and holding pages, with an explicit verification lifecycle. Modelled, not enabled.

• Coming soon pages

  Designed — not enabled

  Branded holding pages for a domain that is not live yet, using a captured brand snapshot so a page never changes under you. Modelled, not enabled.

• QR codes

  Designed — not enabled

  QR codes generated from a governed link and aware of that link's target state. Modelled, not enabled.

• Privacy-minimal counting

  Built — disabled

  Bobby Link counts delivered redirects. It does not record visitors, devices, referrers, IP addresses or locations, and probe requests are never counted.

• Workspaces and membership

  Operational

  Workspace ownership, registered legal identity, registered address, locale and time zone are governed today. Membership administration is modelled.

• Google sign-in

  Operational

  Google is the only production sign-in method, on the canonical domain only.

• Governed audit record

  Operational

  Every governed command writes exactly one chained, append-only record, including refusals. Workspace members with audit authority and platform administrators can read the record; it never exposes another person's identifier.

• API and MCP access

  Designed — not enabled

  Programmatic and agent access are deliberately closed. No credential can be issued.
