Do old links break when I pick an address?

No. Links you already sent keep working on appforshare.io.

Can I change the name later?

Yes. Links on the old name stop working when you change it, and that name is never given to another workspace. Links on appforshare.io keep working.

Which plan do I need?

Pro or Team. A custom domain and white label are on Team.

Links that carry your name

Pro and Team

Testers and clients trust a link more when it carries the name of the team that sent it. A full custom domain takes DNS work and lives on Team.

On Pro and Team, pick a workspace address such as acme.appforshare.io. New links of the workspace use it, and the pages show your workspace name and icon in the header.

Example values.

Made for

Freelancers and small studios who want links with their name
Teams whose testers ask whether a link is really from them

What it ends

Generic links that look the same for every sender
DNS work only to put a name on a test link

How it works

Step 1
Pick a name
On the Branding page, an Owner or Admin picks 3 to 30 letters, digits and hyphens. Reserved words, our own host names and other companies' brand names are refused.
Step 2
Share as usual
New install, channel, build history and join links use the address. Links you already sent keep working on appforshare.io.

How it fits with Team branding

The workspace address puts your name in the link and the header; "Shared with AppForShare" stays on the page. Team adds a custom domain of your own and a white label install page; while a Team custom domain is live, new links use it instead.

Sign in stays on appforshare.io, so sessions never reach workspace addresses. Unknown names answer 404, and a name that was given up is never given to another workspace. appforshare whoami prints the address.

Good to know

It is a name on appforshare.io, not a domain of your own.
Names that copy other brands are refused.
