AN OPEN HOME FOR CKEY

A code that leads somewhere clear.

Make a clean text destination or a compact link for a CKey. No ads, overlays, or distractions on the destination.

TWO DESTINATIONS

One short identifier.
Two clear behaviors.

Each seven-character URL-safe Base64 identifier is resolved within its own route. The same identifier can exist under both paths without mixing the records.

Aa

openckey.org/text/Ab3_Xy7

Hosted text

Opens the words themselves. Creators may choose a restrained design; readers see only the content.

Plain text by default
↗

openckey.org/sq/Ab3_Xy7

Short query

After an automatic safety scan clears the destination, the route redirects without a landing page.

HTTPS destinations only

CREATE

Give your code a place to land.

Choose hosted text or a short query. A safety check runs before short queries become active.

Text pages have no site navigation, advertising, or tracking scripts.
Design the reading page

These options affect appearance only. Your words stay unobstructed.

Without an early expiry, the record stays available for 24 months before retirement.

THE RENDERER

One code, many surfaces.

CKey’s reference project defines the optical format, rendering geometry, and style checks. The Open CKey renderer runs that core in your browser: encode a payload, check the style, and export PNG, SVG, or PDF. Nothing you type is sent to this site.

01Encode

Payload and version selection

02Style

Shapes, color, and contrast checks

03Export

Reusable web and print assets

OPEN BY DESIGN

Readable first

Text destinations put the content ahead of the site.

Direct when cleared

Short queries redirect immediately after a successful safety scan.

Built in the open

The optical format and its current limits are documented in the CKey repository.
