Renewing your trusted ja.cat!
Today marks the beginning of a new chapter for ja.cat, the official link shortener of the .cat domain. This renewal introduces more features, enhanced security, and an improved user experience — designed to give you greater control over the links you shorten.
ja.cat remains a simple and free tool, but it is now taking a step forward to better meet the needs of the digital community.
Registration is required — and it’s worth it
One of the main new features is that you now need to register to shorten links (just as you would with any other tool you already use). This step strengthens the security of the service while also unlocking new benefits: each user will have their own personal space where they can easily manage all their links.
If you already have a .cat domain, this is even easier! Simply log in to ja.cat with your .cat domain name and you’ll receive an email with a link to access your account — no passwords, no hassle.
With a ja.cat account, you’ll be able to:
• Access a mobile-friendly environment: shorten links wherever you are. A clean, organised space available from both your computer and your phone.
• Customise your links: make them clearer and easier to remember.
• Edit, disable and delete links: in case you need to correct them, pause them temporarily, or remove them entirely.
• Generate and download QR codes: ready to print or share in digital materials.
• Integrate into the .cat domain tool ecosystem: access all the other tools offered by the .cat domain much more easily.
• Log in with your .cat domain: as mentioned, the simplest way to sign in.
These changes make ja.cat a more complete and versatile tool, useful for personal projects as well as schools, organisations, businesses and content creators.
A safer environment for the whole community
Introducing registration also helps prevent misuse, such as phishing attempts or the distribution of malware. As a result, links created with ja.cat are even more secure and trustworthy, reinforcing the .cat domain’s commitment to a safe and high-quality Internet.
A more accessible tool
The new version of ja.cat features a refreshed interface — cleaner, more modern and more accessible. Whether you use it from your phone or your computer, navigation is more intuitive and features are better organised.
We know there are other link-shortening tools out there, but this is the only one with a .cat — meow!
