How do I see the OS version breakdown?

Hover over any OS bar in the chart. A tooltip appears showing the version breakdown within that OS — for example for Windows: Windows 10, Windows 11, Windows 7, Windows Server editions, etc. each with their click counts.

Why is "Other" sometimes a large bar in the OS chart?

"Other" groups all OS types that were detected but do not fall into the main displayed categories. It can also include user agents that report an OS Cuttly cannot specifically classify. A high "Other" count in a technical or API use case is normal.

System (OS) Clicks

The System (OS) clicks chart shows which operating systems the people clicking your short link are using. It provides a detailed OS-level view of your audience — with version breakdowns accessible on hover.

Version breakdown on hover: Hover over any OS bar to see a tooltip with the version-level breakdown. For example, hovering over Windows shows Windows 10, Windows 11, Windows 7, and other versions with their individual click counts. This detail is useful for understanding whether legacy OS versions still represent meaningful traffic on your links.

The chart is displayed as a grouped vertical bar chart. The Y-axis shows click count; each bar represents one OS group. OS types that cannot be classified are grouped as Other.
