A canvas, not just a redirect
Every shortcut can resolve to a working board — kanban, charts, mind maps, embeds, code, PDFs — instead of just bouncing a teammate to a Notion page.
BookSlash vs GoLinks
BookSlashvs
GoLinks
Modern go links
plus the canvas behind them.
GoLinks pioneered the internal short-link category. BookSlash is the modern take: the same memorable shortcuts, with a multi-tool canvas behind every URL — onboarding boards, invoicing, time tracking, sitemap audits — so the link goes somewhere your team can actually work.
The short version
Three reasons teams switch.
- 1
Same go-link wedge: type b/wiki, b/deploy, b/oncall and land instantly. No DNS configuration, just install the extension.
- 2
Behind the shortcut is a real canvas — invoicing, billable time tracking, sitemap audits, kanban, mind maps, and live embeds — not just a redirect.
- 3
Free for personal use, $5/user/month on Pro or $4/user/month billed yearly. GoLinks has a free tier up to 20 users; its paid plans start at $2/user (Basic) and $4/user (Pro).

What you actually get
Six things GoLinks does not.
Same shortcut behaviour, materially more behind it. Pick one of these reasons; usually it is enough.
Invoicing and time tracking, included
A Harvest, Toggl, and FreshBooks alternative built into the same workspace as your shortcuts. One subscription replaces three.
Sitemap audits with accessibility + SEO
Drop a URL, get a visual sitemap with every page scored on accessibility and SEO. Slickplan and VisualSitemaps in one node.
Beyond the browser bar
b/ also fires from Raycast, Spotlight, and any mobile browser — not just a desktop extension. Install it and your slugs work, no IT ticket.
A collaborative canvas, live
Cursors, comments, and reactions on the shared board behind any slug. GoLinks redirects to a page; it has no real-time canvas of its own.
Audit logs from Pro
90-day tamper-evident audit log on Pro. GoLinks reserves audit log access for its Enterprise tier.
We ditched two wikis and a "links" channel. The on-call rotation went from "where's the dashboard?" to "type b/oncall."

Frequently asked
Questions, answered.
For the core go-links use case — memorable shortcuts to internal destinations — yes, on the same day. Install the extension, import existing go-links as CSV, and assign slugs. Shortcuts resolve at the edge in under 40ms. Most teams find the extra surface (boards, invoicing, time tracking, sitemap audits) worth keeping after the migration.
Yes. The BookSlash extension intercepts the b/* prefix in the address bar of every supported browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, Brave). No DNS, no desktop helper, no IT ticket. For teams that want a shorter prefix, you can claim a custom domain (b.your-co.com) on Pro, with no DNS hand-off required from BookSlash.
BookSlash Pro is $5 per user per month, or $4 per user per month billed yearly. GoLinks is priced similarly per their public pricing — a free tier for up to 20 users, then Basic at $2 and Pro at $4 per user per month, with SSO/SCIM and advanced controls on Enterprise. Where BookSlash differs is the multi-tool canvas behind every shortcut and 90-day audit logs from Pro.
Yes. Slug names are arbitrary. Most teams import their existing go-links CSV and keep the same names — runbook-checkout, dash-payments, oncall-india. The b/ prefix is the only change for end users.
BookSlash logs every redirect with timestamp, slug, user, and source workspace. Owners and Admins can view per-slug click counts, top users, and dead links. Exports are CSV on Pro and NDJSON on Enterprise.
