Short answer

ToneDen announces on its own homepage that it is shutting down on December 1, 2026. Plan as if every ToneDen link stops working that day: list where you use them, rebuild each one elsewhere, swap the old URLs and test the new link on a phone. A plugwith.me link can take over a link in your bio or a post, and you can change its destination later without touching your posts.

ToneDen's homepage now carries a notice: "ToneDen is shutting down on December 1, 2026." If you ever put a ToneDen link in a bio, a post, an email or on a flyer, that link needs a plan. Here is a short way to find every one of them and replace it in time.

What has ToneDen announced?

The notice sits at the top of toneden.io, which still describes itself as a social marketing platform and invites you to join "over one million creators and businesses". The date it names is December 1, 2026. I read it there on 12 November 2026, and that is all I am stating as fact here. For what happens to your links and your data after that date, check the emails ToneDen sends to your account and its help center.

A link is only as good as the place it lives. Your old posts, your video descriptions and your printed material keep sending people to the same address long after you stopped thinking about it. My advice, and it is an opinion, not a measurement: assume a ToneDen link becomes a dead end on December 1, and swap it while you can still test the replacement side by side.

Search your own accounts and your inbox for "toneden". If ToneDen shows you clicks per link, start with the ones that get the most.

What should you save before December 1?

Write down every link you use, the destination or destinations behind it, and any artwork or tracking ID you entered. Download whatever ToneDen lets you download from your account. I cannot tell you what its export covers, so look in your account while it is still open.

  1. Open the old ToneDen link and note where it sends people. If it listed several places, note each one.
  2. Create a free plugwith.me account and add a new link. Paste the destination, or build a page with one button per place.
  3. Choose a slug. If you want to see which place brings the taps, make one link per place, for example plugwith.me/yourname-ig and plugwith.me/yourname-tt. Each link is counted separately.
  4. Put the new link where the old one was, starting with the busiest places.
  5. Test it on your phone from inside the app. Tap it in your own bio and check that the page opens the way a fan would see it.

The in-app browser matters here. A fan who taps your link inside Instagram lands in a small browser without their logins and saved payments. A plugwith.me link takes fans on iPhone from Instagram and Facebook into Safari first. The background is in in-app browser vs real browser.

Printed QR codes, sent emails and other people's pages cannot be changed by you. Ask the owner to update the link where you can, and accept the loss where you cannot. This is the main reason to link to an address you control from now on: when the page behind a plugwith.me link changes, you edit the destination in your dashboard and every post that carries the link follows. If you want to compare two destinations, split testing works from the same link.

Where should you start today?

Make the list of places, move the three busiest ones first, and test each on a phone. Create your free plugwith.me link, no card needed.

Frequently asked questions

When is ToneDen shutting down?

ToneDen's homepage shows the notice "ToneDen is shutting down on December 1, 2026." We read it there on 12 November 2026.

Will my ToneDen links still work after December 1?

The homepage notice gives the date. We did not find a public statement from ToneDen on what happens to links afterwards, so plan as if they stop working that day, and check ToneDen's emails and help center for details.

What should I do first?

Find out where your ToneDen links are in use: bios, posts, video descriptions, emails, QR codes, ads and partner pages. Then start with the places that get the most taps.

Can plugwith.me replace a ToneDen link?

For a link that sends people to one destination, or to a page of buttons, yes. Create a link, paste the destination and put the new link where the old one was. On Instagram and Facebook on iPhone, it also takes fans from the in-app browser into Safari.

Can I keep my old ToneDen address?

No. A ToneDen link lives on ToneDen's own address, so it ends with ToneDen. With a plugwith.me link the address stays yours and only the destination changes, so a later move does not mean new links everywhere.
