# Lora

> Lora is a modern, secure internal shortcut platform for teams. It turns messy links into smart, shareable `short/` style shortcuts — making company knowledge instantly accessible from the browser's address bar. Teams create workspaces, organize shortcuts into folders with tags, and track adoption through built-in analytics. Advanced features include dynamic placeholders, QR codes, geo- and device-targeting, masked URLs, and enterprise deployment via MDM.

Key capabilities:
- Create and manage internal shortcuts with workspace-based organization and instant redirect functionality.
- Organize shortcuts into folders, tag them for discovery, and track usage with detailed analytics to understand adoption and time saved.
- Use dynamic shortcuts with placeholders (e.g. `/jira {ticket}`), QR codes, geo-targeting, and device-specific routing.
- Access shortcuts from the browser address bar via the Chrome extension's omnibox integration with autocomplete.
- View comprehensive analytics including click tracking, time-saved metrics, geo/device data, and AI-powered queries.
- Collaborate with role-based access control (Owner, Admin, Member), folder permissions, and invitation workflows.
- Deploy at scale with MDM support (JAMF/Intune), masked URLs for branded links, and API/webhook integration.
- Workspaces come with integrated analytics, export capabilities, and extensive filtering options for shortcut usage insights.
