Shortshare
Shorten links with S.EE in the Shortshare app
Shortshare is a URL shortener app that can work with custom shortening APIs. Once S.EE is set up as a custom shortener, you can create S.EE short links inside the app or with Shortshare's Shortcuts action.
According to its website, Shortshare is no longer available for iOS and macOS. It can no longer be updated and doesn't work on iOS 27 / macOS 27 or later. Existing customers can download a fixed build for macOS 27+ from shortshare.app. The Windows version is still on the Microsoft Store.

Copy your API key from Tools > API Token.
Set up S.EE in Shortshare
- Set the Url Shortener type to Custom
- Under Configure, fill in:
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Endpoint | https://s.ee/api/v1/shorten |
| URL Parameter | GET, and enter url |
| Auth Parameter | Header. First field: Authorization. Second field: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY |
| Response Format | Plaintext, and leave the field empty |
Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your key, and keep the space after Bearer.
On success, S.EE returns just the short link as plain text, so Shortshare can use the response as is. Links are created on s.ee.
Don't share your API key publicly.
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Fix |
|---|---|
| 401 error | Check the Authorization header value and your API key |
| No link returned | Make sure Response Format is Plaintext and its field is empty |
