## What is LinkClean?

LinkClean strips tracking junk from any link, so what you share is the clean destination — not a trail of who shared it, from where, and when.

Paste a link and LinkClean instantly removes tracking parameters like utm_source, fbclid, gclid, and dozens more. You see exactly what was taken out and what's left, then copy a clean link with a single tap.

CLEAN FROM ANYWHERE
You don't have to open the app to clean a link:
• Share Sheet — tap Share in any app, pick Clean URL, and the tidied link is on your clipboard
• Safari — clean the link of the page you're on right from the toolbar, then copy it, copy as Markdown, or share
• Shortcuts & Siri — clean links inside your own automations, hands-free
• Control Center & Home Screen widget — one tap cleans whatever you've copied
• Copy link as… — plain, Markdown [title](url) with the page title filled in, or your own format

CLEANING THAT GOES DEEPER
LinkClean does more than trim the obvious tags:
• Unwraps redirect links to find and clean the real destination
• Strips trackers hiding after the # in a link
• Expands short links too — turn on Short-Link Expansion and LinkClean follows bit.ly, t.co, and the like to the real page before cleaning it (free, off by default, and the one feature that reaches the web — always your choice)

SCAN & MAKE QR CODES
• Scan a QR code to clean the link hidden inside it
• Turn any clean link into a fresh QR code to share

SEE YOUR IMPACT
Every clean shows a calm summary of how many trackers were removed — tap to see exactly which ones, and tap a leftover to strip it from now on. The Statistics dashboard adds it all up over time, with a privacy card you can share.

MAKE IT YOURS
• Turn the built-in tracker list on or off
• Add your own parameters to always remove
• Keep a searchable History of everything you've cleaned — copy, share, re-clean, or reopen any link, and tap one to see exactly what changed, before and after

ONE PURCHASE, YOURS FOREVER
LinkClean is free to use: unlimited cleaning, the Share Sheet and Shortcuts actions, one custom rule of your own, and your last 7 days of History. LinkClean Pro unlocks your own copy formats, unlimited custom rules, and your full History archive — a single one-time purchase. No subscription, no account, nothing recurring.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Cleaning happens entirely on your device, and the full links you clean never leave it — not the path, the parameters, or any values. The one exception is Short-Link Expansion, which reaches the web only when you switch it on. LinkClean uses only anonymous, aggregate analytics to learn which features matter; the one thing it notes about a cleaned link is its site domain (like youtube.com), never the full link. See the privacy policy for the full picture.

Built for iOS 26 with a fast, native, Liquid Glass interface.
