Easy to use

This app is very important for privacy, these apps don’t exist in the app store, so this is a rare find. Removes youtube and amazon tracking urls, amazing! Thank you!

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!

Amazing app but wish it was more stable/consistent

Thanks for a great tool! However, could you please look into a few bugs on iOS? (I couldn’t find a feedback form in-app)
1) the share sheet UI can leave in xpid parameters in Amazon
2) the Safari extension often doesn’t work. After pressing the button, the UI just flashes but there’s no message indicating any links were cleaned—which can be confirmed by inspecting hyperlinks on the page. This also happens on Amazon.

Good but lingering bug spoils it

It’s a fantastic app, but Facebook marketplace links have been broken for months. Instead of just getting rid of the question mark and everything after, it gives a weird spammy ad link.

I’ll update my review once that’s fixed, because it’s a really irritating bug.

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. 😋
