Everything Keyway does
Organised by what you are trying to accomplish. Every item here is checkable from the product in under a minute — that is the standard this page is written to.
Building the link
Eleven step types
Website, YouTube, Discord, Telegram, X, Instagram, TikTok, any custom link, a message to read, a statement to confirm, and a code to enter.
Drag to reorder
With keyboard up/down controls alongside, because drag and drop is unusable by keyboard and by most assistive technology.
Live preview
Exactly what a visitor will see, updating as you type — not an approximation.
Custom link endings
3 to 32 characters. Endings that imitate login or payment pages are refused, in single words and in compounds.
Five themes
Each shifts the hue only, so a creator cannot pick a combination that fails contrast on their own unlock page.
Your avatar
Uploaded to our own storage and validated by magic bytes, so no third-party host ever sees your visitors.
Controlling access
Expiry
24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, a date you pick, or never. Evaluated on every request, so it takes effect the moment it lapses.
Unlock caps
Enforced in a single atomic database statement. A cap of 100 means 100 even under simultaneous requests.
Turn it off and on
Temporarily disable a link without deleting it. Visitors get a clear explanation rather than an error.
Permanent delete
Erases the destination from our database. The slug stays claimed so nobody inherits your traffic.
Required and optional steps
Optional steps are labelled as such and do not gate the unlock.
Verified code steps
PBKDF2 with a per-step salt, checked server-side. The one step type that genuinely proves something.
The visitor experience
Works without JavaScript
Every step is a real form; progress lives in a signed cookie. The whole flow completes with scripts disabled.
No ads, ever
No ad network is loaded on any page of this site. There is no plan in which that changes.
No auto-redirect
You see the destination hostname and you click. No countdown, no timed forward.
Honest step labels
Every step says whether we checked it or you confirmed it yourself. No step ever claims a subscription was verified.
Report button on every page
No account, no email address. Reports are read by a person.
English or Vietnamese
Your unlock page renders in the language you chose, regardless of where the visitor is.
Understanding what happened
Views and unique visitors
Uniques are approximate by design — from a hash that changes daily and cannot follow anyone.
Unlock rate
The number that tells you whether your steps are too much.
Per-step drop-off
Started versus completed for each step, so you can see which one is costing you.
Top countries
Two-letter codes. No region, no city.
Device categories
Mobile, tablet, desktop, bot. Four buckets, deliberately.
Referrer categories
Search, social, chat, video, direct, internal, other. Never the full URL.
What Keyway deliberately does not have
Accounts. They would make a dashboard possible and would also mean holding an email address for every creator. The management key is the trade.
An email step. There will not be one. A link locker that harvests email addresses is a list-building tool wearing a download page, and the visitor rarely understands that is what happened.
Subscription verification.Not possible on any platform, so it is not offered and never implied.
Locker chains. A Keyway link cannot point at another Keyway link. Each extra gate is friction your visitor did not agree to.
Countdowns and interstitials. Those exist to serve an extra advertising impression. There is no advertising here, so there is nothing for them to do.
See it rather than read about it
Two minutes, no account. Open the result on your phone and time it.
