Today is my first foray into the Mac App Store and is also the day that I release my first publicly available Mac OS X application. Over the past few months, I’ve been working on an application called Shrinkr for Mac. This application allows you to quickly and easily shorten long URLs right from the menu bar in Mac OS X.
Shrinkr for Mac is the ultimate URL shortening tool for Mac OS X. This tool is easy to use and ready to convert any long links you throw at it by using popular URL shortening services like Goo.gl, Bit.ly, Is.gd, X.co, and more. Shrinkr is compact and lives in the menu bar on your Mac and looks like a small anchor. To use it, simply copy the URL you would like to shorten, then select the URL shortening service you wish to use. A few seconds later, Shrinkr will automatically copy the shortened URL to your clipboard, ready for you to paste it into an email message, tweet, or chat. It doesn’t stop there, however, as the application can also integrate with your Bit.ly account to provide shortening history in your account.
