Link Studio, UTM Tracking and Click Analytics
ShareCut has grown from a simple URL shortener into a full link management platform — short links, QR codes, link-in-bio (TreeLink) pages and digital menus, all with click tracking. This update brings three big things together: a single place to manage every link (Link Studio), UTM campaign tracking as a one-click flag, and a proper clicks-over-time chart in your stats. Here is the detailed tour.
Meet Link Studio: one editor for every link
Previously, editing a link, customizing its QR, changing a page and reading its stats meant bouncing between separate screens. Now everything for a single link lives in one place — Link Studio — with a sticky sidebar on desktop and scrollable tabs on mobile. Whether the link is a short URL, a TreeLink or a restaurant menu, you manage it from the same editor.
Overview
The landing section of the Studio gives you the essentials at a glance: the public URL with a one-tap copy and an open in new tab button, the QR code, the total click count, the creation and last-click dates, and a Free/PRO badge. Quick actions let you jump straight to any other section. It is the dashboard for that specific link.
Link & QR
This is where you shape the link itself and its QR code. Every owner — including free accounts — can edit the title and description and customize the base QR: dot style and color, corner style, background, plus download and print. PRO unlocks the finishing touches: a logo inside the QR, custom frames, and a custom short code so your link reads the way you want (for example sharecut.site/my-launch).
Link & QR is also the home of the new UTM tracking flag, covered in detail below.
Page (TreeLink & menus only)
For a TreeLink or a digital menu, the Page section is the content editor. Add and reorder your buttons or menu items, edit prices, hide a sold-out dish in two taps, and preview the result. Free owners can fully edit the content of their page; theming and branding (themes, fonts, button styles, a cover image and social links) are PRO. Because menu pages are dynamic, you print the QR once and the code keeps working no matter how often you edit what it points to.
Statistics
The stats section is always one click away. The total click count is visible to everyone, and now so is a clicks-over-time chart with a period selector. The detailed breakdowns — by country, device, OS, browser and referrer — are a PRO feature: free accounts see the first row and a blurred preview of the rest, so you always know what you are unlocking.
New: UTM tracking as a simple flag
Marketers live and die by knowing where their traffic comes from. In the Link & QR section of any short link you will now find a UTM tracking toggle. Turn it on, fill in the campaign parameters you care about — source, medium, campaign, term, content — and ShareCut appends them to your destination automatically on every click.
The important part: your short link and its base URL never change. The tags are added on redirect, so the same short code keeps working while your analytics (on the destination) finally attribute the traffic. Tracking is measured from the day you first enable it, and your stats chart marks that start date so you can see the before and after.
Want to compare channels? Create one short link per channel or influencer, give each its own campaign tag, and compare their click counts side by side. Same offer, different links, a clear winner.
New: click analytics with a time chart and period filter
Total clicks tell you how many. The new chart tells you when. Every link now records a daily click count, and the Statistics section draws it as a simple trend you can filter to the last 7, 30 or 90 days, or all time. Spot the spike after a post, see whether a campaign has legs, and — with UTM tracking on — see exactly when the tagged traffic started.
For PRO accounts, the dimensional breakdowns turn raw clicks into insight: which countries, devices, operating systems, browsers and referrers are driving your traffic, so you know where to double down.
What's free and what's PRO
ShareCut stays free to start. Creating short links and QR codes, publishing a TreeLink or a menu, editing your title, description and base QR, seeing your total clicks and the clicks-over-time chart, and using UTM tracking are all free. PRO removes ads and adds the power features: custom short codes, a logo in the QR, custom frames, cover images, themes, fonts and button styles, social links, and the full analytics breakdowns.
