Yes. Custom link? Yes. Append URI? No. Regex? No. Has API? Yes. Redir Type? 301. (I follow <a href="http://alanhogan.com/tips/rel-shortlink-for-short-urls" rel="nofollow">short URL best practices</a>) Private? Yes. Custom title No. No title functionality currently. Would not be hard to add this feature (<a href="http://github.com/alanhogan/lessnmore" rel="nofollow">we're on GitHub</a>, pull requests welcome). Edit? Yes, with a big fat warning that changing existing URLs may be Bad For The Internet™. Strips extra punctuation off the end of the URL (Bonus): Yes. (That means that e.g. <a href="http://ajh.us/1)" rel="nofollow">http://ajh.us/1)</a> does not fail but rather is treated as <a href="http://ajh.us/1" rel="nofollow">http://ajh.us/1</a> which would be a real redirection; this does happen in some email and Twitter clients.)

As the YOURLS guy, I like to compare various solutions and see what features could make it into YOURLS. From what I see here the only real stand alone solution is, well, mine :-) The regexp support idea is pretty interesting. I see a number of potential issues, mainly security and user interface/ease of use, but I'll think about this. I'm a bit late in the discussion but that's an interesting comparison chart.
