Very helpful little utility
It does what it says on the tin. I have a couple of simple rules to deal with the fact that my university library has its own URLs for logged-in use, so when I receive a link to the regular public site, RedirectWeb automatically takes me to the personalized one that lets me read while logged in.
No Instructions (Explanations)
App is too difficult to understand. The only users that use this are other coders and developers.
I forget that it’s there and just enjoy the results
Which is ideal
Redirect
I would definitely recommend very easy to use
Excellent app!
Helped immensely while testing new features of our web app.
Very helpful in helping distraction
There are also a lot of predefined rules, and very helpful in blocking distraction websites.
Brilliant
This is amazing. I use it to override the default Safari search settings over to Kagi. I’ll find tons of other useful stuff to add. It’s even cross platform on macOS and iOS/iPadOS.
So many uses!
I originally found this app as a way to use Kagi as my default search engine within Safari. That alone was worth the price (it’s far more flexible than Kagi’s version)
I quickly discovered this app is far more useful than merely changing Safari’s default search options.
If you’re reading these reviews wondering if it will accomplish a particular redirect, it most likely will but you can try it before buying it.
It has far more functionality than you would expect. The Library of rules is very helpful and is continuously growing with well vetted user submissions. The developer is extremely responsive and helpful if you are having trouble writing or using a rule.
The rule writing relies on Regex which is very powerful (but tricky for the uninitiated), however the developer is responsive to assist you. In fact, user submissions are frequently added to the library (with permission and credit due), including a few from me.
The Library contains rules for really neat tricks you didn’t know you needed including the ability to read archived articles that might otherwise would require subscriptions. These rules alone make the app pay for itself many times over.
Also don’t let the in app “subscription” option turn you off. It’s really a way to allow for an inexpensive fully functional trial if you’re not ready to purchase an inexpensive lifetime subscription. Without a purchase you can have multiple rules but you’re limited to just one active rule. This makes it easy to try as many rules as you want without costing anything but your time.
I haven’t tried the recently added feature that allows this extension to work with browsers other than Safari, but I imagine they work fine.

Good App.
Nothing more to say! :)
Love this extension
It’s a really great extension if you like taking control of where links send you.
Does what it should
I was hoping to get rid of a bad habit of visiting a news website to get a slight dopamine rush, but thanks to Redirect Web for Safari, I got rid of the habit. The little barrier prevents me from procrastinating. Well done!
Looking good
Had a bit of trouble getting my urls correct at first but worked like a charm when I switched to regular expression. Perfect for redirecting to privacy frontends and avoiding all the bloat that comes with social media sites.
works like a charm
I would normally be using firefox, but my laptop decided it can't handle it, so safari it is. I wanted to redirect duckduckgo to noai.duckduckgo, and this extension let me do that no problem. i am very pleased
Working as intended
Helps to redirect from new reddit to the old one, thanks!
App essenziale
Permette di impostare il Redirect da un indirizzo di un sito web ad un altro. Essenziale per poter impostare motori di ricerca custom dato che Apple in Safari non lo permette
works just as i want
basically it redirects opened urls. can be used for workflow or to block procrastination website - to redirect you to some useless website.
the only thing that's missing are folders and a search feature. to search my already created redirect rules. that would be the fifth star.
I'm using this on an iPhone and on a MacBook. bought the lifetime.

Funzione utile
Fa quello fhe deve fare in modo relativamente semplice e intuitivo. Utile anche la funzione libreria per scoprire siti e soluzioni inaspettate.
Great at what it does!
I’ve tried many solutions, ranging from privacy-focused apps to product-specific extensions, but this is the only one that handles redirections before the original page even starts loading. For those of us who value privacy and prefer using custom search engines, this is crucial—not only do I get results from my chosen engine, but my searches also aren’t sent to the default options supported by Safari. The same goes for my self-hosted services like Invidious and Redlib. Lastly, the iCloud sync works perfectly and it is very convenient. Highly recommended!
