Step 2: Choose a Reference Type

  • Numbers only (48291)

Choose whatever feels easiest to write or remember.

3. Get Your Code

Step 3: Get Your Code

The site instantly generates a short reference code for your link.

This code is now your pointer to that source.

4. Write the Code in Your Notes

Step 4: Write the Code in Your Notes

Instead of copying long URLs, just write the code next to your note.

Like a footnote.

Like an index number.

Like a margin reference.

5. Come Back Anytime

Step 5: Come Back Anytime

Later, when you want to revisit the source:

  • Enter the code in the browser
  • Or visit /your-code

You're instantly redirected to the original link.


Why This Exists

When you read something online and take notes, one thing often gets lost:

the source.

Bookmarks get messy.

Notes lose context.

Links disappear inside endless lists.

This tool exists to solve that one problem — simply.


What This Tool Does

It turns any link into a short, human-friendly reference code.

A code you can:

  • Write in a notebook
  • Add next to your notes
  • Remember later
  • Type back in seconds

No accounts.

No setup.

No distractions.


What This Is — And Isn't

This is:

  • A lightweight reference tool
  • A bridge between physical notes and digital content
  • Intentionally minimal

This is not:

  • A bookmark manager
  • A note-taking app
  • A productivity dashboard

Designed to Stay Out of Your Way

This site does one thing:

It helps you find your way back.

Nothing more.

Nothing less.
