WR.DO

Open source · OSI-approvedStatus: unknownNew

Self-hosted short links, temporary email, and file storage on your own domain

WR.DO is an open-source platform for short links, temporary email, file storage, and subdomain management on your own domain. Its homepage brands it LikeDo and offers free short links, 200-plus templates, temporary email, and file storage, while its repository documents self-hosting on your own Cloudflare account under the MIT license.[1][2]

Quick verdict

WR.DO is an MIT-licensed, open-source platform that combines short links, temporary email, file storage, and subdomain management on your own domain, deployable on your own Cloudflare account with a hosted option at wr.do.[1][2][3]

Capabilities

  • Short links support custom paths, passwords, expiry, and per-link click statistics.[1]

  • The temporary mailbox auto-registers addresses so users receive mail without manual setup.[1]

  • Files upload and share through cloud storage, and DNS controls manage subdomains on the operator's own domain.[1][2]

  • A user system with an admin panel, multi-language interface, and AI-generated landing pages round out the documented feature set.[1]

Good fit

  • Individuals and small teams consolidating short links, temporary email, and file sharing onto one domain they control.[1][2]

  • Domain owners who already use Cloudflare and want a self-hosted link and email platform rather than another SaaS account.[1][2]

Limitations

  • The hosted platform's pricing tiers were not verified in this pass, so the long-term cost of staying on hosted versus self-hosting is unstated.[1][2]

  • Self-hosting requires a Cloudflare account with Workers, Pages, D1, and R2 plus DNS configuration, which is more setup than signing up for a hosted shortener.[1][2]

  • No public API surface, SSO for organizations, or data-region documentation was verified, so teams needing those guarantees face unknowns.[1]

Compatibility

Runs on Cloudflare Workers, Pages, D1, and R2, and is used through the browser with GitHub or Google login; no desktop or mobile clients are documented.[1][2]

Short-link workflows transfer from Dub-style platforms, but WR.DO's bundled email, storage, and subdomain scope means it replaces more than a shortener.[1][2]

Questions worth asking

Can I self-host WR.DO on my own domain?

Yes. The repository documents deploying a private instance on your own domain with your own Cloudflare account, and the docs index includes a dedicated own-domain deployment guide.[1][2]

What license is WR.DO released under?

The repository is published under the MIT license, confirmed by the LICENSE file text and the repository license listing.[1]

How does WR.DO compare to Dub?

Short links are the overlap: both offer branded short links with analytics. WR.DO additionally bundles temporary email, file storage, and subdomain management, while Dub adds conversion attribution and affiliate tooling.[1][2]

Is the hosted WR.DO platform free?

The hosted wr.do platform offers free short links with GitHub or Google login, alongside temporary email and file storage. A pricing page exists but tiers were not verified in this pass.[1]
