CloakTrack is a self-hosted link cloaker and click tracker for affiliate marketers and anyone who shares links. It turns long affiliate URLs into short branded redirects on your own domain, counts every click, and lets you change a link's destination without editing the pages it sits on.

It stores everything in a plain JSON file - no database to set up, no framework, no Composer. Upload it to standard shared hosting, run the installer once, and you are done. Works on cPanel, DirectAdmin, and Plesk with PHP 7.4 or newer.
