How to use on macOS
After installing the shortcut
  1. 1Find any music URL in your browser or elsewhere
  2. 2Right-click the link
  3. 3Go to Services → “Open with sho.ng”
  4. 4Your universal link opens instantly
Also: Browser Bookmarklet
One click on any music page — works in every desktop browser
Open with sho.ng← drag this to your bookmarks bar
Orand create a bookmark manually, pasting this as the URL

How it works:

  • Go to any streaming platform page (e.g. Spotify, YouTube)
  • Click the bookmarklet in your bookmarks bar
  • sho.ng opens with the universal link
Also: Install as Web App

Why isn't this available?

  • App may already be installed
  • Browser needs 30+ seconds of site interaction
  • You may have dismissed the prompt recently
  • Check your browser's address bar for an install icon

Use manual steps below as alternative

Adds sho.ng to your Dock for quick access, but won't handle external music links — the Shortcut is better for that.

Privacy & Security
  • No data collection: Shortcuts and bookmarklets run entirely in your browser
  • No permissions needed: Only opens URLs — reads nothing from your device
  • Open source: You can inspect exactly how everything works
