How it works
Five moments. The gate is optional.
Keep the DM tool and the checkout you have: the link works beside them. Auto-DM and the gate are there when you want them.
- 01
Auto-DM, or share it yourself
Get the link to people the way you do now.
- Auto-DMPrivate betaSends your link by DM when someone comments on your Instagram post.

A smart link for each place
One short link for each place you post, under one campaign name. You name the place. Arcdrop does not guess it.
- 03 · optional
Lead capture
Ask for an email before the link opens, or send people straight through. Agreeing to news is a separate box, and it starts unticked. Then your offer opens, exactly as it is now.
On paid plans leads export as CSV, and Pro sends each one on to your own tools.
- 04
Tracking
Each step leaves a record as it happens, not only after an email: by link, and by the place you named. Known previews and crawlers are filtered by rule, each with its reason, so your counts are not padded by apps fetching preview cards.
- 05
Results and proof
A report to send to a client or a sponsor, or a card to post. Anyone with the link can check in their browser that the record has not been edited since it was signed. No account, no screenshot.

The workspace
One workspace. Four screens you can click through.
A sample workspace with one fixed sample record behind it. Pick a screen, press a figure to see where it comes from, or send a test tap and watch it get filtered.

Setup
Say what you post. Arcdrop sets up the rest.
Works wherever you post.
Pick a place to see its setup. Each place gets a short link of its own.

Counts
Every hit, counted or explained. Apps, crawlers and your own tests open links too.
Link previews. An app fetched the page to draw a preview card. Nobody tapped.
A counted tap is not a person.
Not views, not impressions, not verified humans. It is a hit that passed the filters. Filtering removes known non-taps; it does not prove who tapped.
Rules carry a version.
Each receipt names the counting policy it used, so an old number keeps its meaning when the rules improve.
Only what Arcdrop saw.
The view shows hits on your links. It says nothing about what other tools count. Five sample links, 1–14 Nov 2026, policy v2.
Proof
A receipt anyone can check. And a plain line between what was checked and what was not.
Record integrity
Not checkedA signature shows whether this record changed after Arcdrop signed it. Change a number on the receipt and check again.
The check runs in your browser on a copy of a signed sample record. What you change here changes only that copy.
What is signed
Totals and five linksEvery byte of the record: the totals, the count of each of the five links, the filter reasons and the period. Taps and leads are Arcdrop's own records. A sale is not, so a receipt leaves revenue out until a payment provider confirms it.
Counting policy
Policy v2 applied72 of 1,320 hits were filtered by rule. This is classification, not a signature: it says how hits were sorted, not who tapped.
Inspect the record
- SHA-256 of the record
- Run the check to compute it.
- Algorithm
- Ed25519, with ECDSA P-256 where a browser lacks it
- Key
- Whose key
- A test key made for this sample. A key that comes with a file says nothing about who issued it: in the product the key is looked up by its id in a list Arcdrop publishes.
The file you can download from the sample report below carries this record, both signatures and the public parts of the test keys, so it can be checked away from this page.

Everything is in private beta today, by invitation from the waitlist, and nothing is charged yet. Auto-DM for Instagram is a smaller beta that depends on Meta's approval; when it opens to everyone it joins every paid plan at no extra cost. No plan lists revenue confirmed by a payment provider, because that is not in the product yet.
Questions
Plain answers.
What does Arcdrop do?
You make a short link for each place you post. Each link counts its taps, can ask for an email before it opens, and feeds one report you can send to a client or a sponsor, with a signed record they can check. Auto-DM, which sends your link when someone comments on your Instagram post, is in private beta.
How does it know where a tap came from?
It does not guess. Each place you post gets a link of its own, and you name the place. A tap on the Story link is counted under Story because that is the link that was tapped.
When does Auto-DM open?
It stays in private beta until Meta approves the app, which every tool on Instagram's official API needs. Links, the gate, tracking and proof do not depend on it.
What is a counted tap?
A hit that passed the filters: not a link preview, a crawler, a prefetch, a HEAD request, a test or a suspect submission. It is not proof of a unique person.
What does the signature prove?
That the record is exactly what Arcdrop signed. It does not prove who tapped, that a tap was a person, or that anyone paid.
Do I need Instagram?
No. A link works wherever you can post one: a bio, a Story, a DM, a video description, a newsletter or a printed code.
Do I have to replace my DM tool or my checkout?
No. Arcdrop sits on the link. Your destination, your DM tool and your checkout stay as they are.
What happens if I pass my plan's limit?
Your links keep opening. Taps over the limit are still counted, and you are told. On the Free plan a lead over the month's allowance is not stored, and the visitor still reaches your link.
When can I use it?
Arcdrop is in private beta, by invitation from the waitlist.
