Most link tools make you sign up — and often pay — before you can create anything. If you just want a working link that sends iPhone users to the App Store and Android users to Google Play, you shouldn't need a password, a credit card, or an SDK. Here's how to create a free universal app download link in about a minute, with just an email.

The problem

Most link tools require a signup before you can create anything.
Free tiers are often crippled, watermarked beyond use, or time-limited.
You just want a working link, not another password to manage.
Enterprise deep-linking tools start at hundreds of dollars per month.

With onestore.link

Create a onestore.link that routes to the right store for free — all it takes is an email.
The free link keeps working as long as it gets traffic (inactivity-based expiry, reset by every click).
Upgrade a single link to Pro only if you want analytics, no branding, or a custom domain.
No credit card, no SDK, no rebuild — it's a pure URL redirect.

How to do it

No SDK, no rebuild. Just a URL.

1
Open onestore.link
Search your app by name or paste its App Store and Google Play URLs.
2
Get your link
You get a short link instantly and your free universal link is live (renaming the slug is a Pro option).
3
Manage it from your email
Your email is your account, with no password: sign in with it whenever you want to manage, edit, or upgrade the link.

Frequently asked questions

Is it really free, with just an email?

Yes. You create a link that routes to the right store with your email and no credit card. Your email becomes your account, with no password: it is how you activate the link, manage it and upgrade it later.

What's the catch with free links?

Free links show a small “Make your own free link” badge on the page seen on a computer or inside an app, and expire after a period without visitors. With Pro you choose whether to show or hide the badge, and get analytics, custom previews and a custom domain.

Do free links expire?

A free link expires after 30 days with no clicks — and every click resets that timer, so an actively used link stays alive. Pro links never expire.
