Awesome app

So pumped for the new Mac app! I’ve tried recreating it myself with shortcuts and it’s just not the same! Such a great app. Thanks for all your hard work!

Love this app! No thrills and no BS - it does exactly as advertised

Want to get rid of trackers and other non-necessities attached to your shared links from YouTube, etc? Use this app. It does as advertised. And, the developer makes other apps that are equally as wonderful and are not slop. Give it a try, it’s free. 😋

Response from developer

Thanks for the review. Is there anything we can do to improve the app for you?

Works well, but still connects to network

Great option for QR codes, but really needs a way to prevent automatically expanding short links. This can still attribute a click to you if the original URL was targeted or shared only to you.

Response from developer

Thanks for the thoughtful feedback. You’re right that some short links require a network request to resolve. Clean Links only does that when the final destination cannot be determined from the URL alone, which is common with URL shorteners and some ad-network redirects. Those requests go directly from your device to the destination, not through our servers, and we do not log the links you clean. We also use isolated requests with no persisted cookies or browsing history, and we strip tracking parameters before and after redirects. We mention this in our FAQ under “Is this really local?” Edit: Based on your feedback, we've added an "Allow network requests" toggle in the app settings and for shortcuts. I hope that addresses this issue. If not, please feel free to get in touch with us on Discord or X (@CleanLinksApp) or email us at support@cleanlinks.app

Great App for Cleaning Useless Tracking Junk from Links

It occasionally leaves a dangling piece but saves me a bunch of editing before I send links to others or when posting online.
