Nobody likes very long URLs that barely fit onto your screen. If you've ever gotten on of these in a message from a friend, you know that they are annoying and inconvenient. Not only that, but they usually contain a lot unnecessary information that is used to track you. And this where URLy comes in. URLy is beautiful URL editor that lets you modify any part of a given link that you pass in or create from scratch. Main features: - Resolve the original URL by quickly scheduling a HEAD request (this one's for the nerds) - Edit, delete or add components to the URL you're trying to share - Protect your privacy by quickly removing all tracking info from a URL - Use URLy's most common operations in the Shortcuts app to automate your sharing flow If you have any feedback or suggestions, please feel to leave a review or contact me on social media :) Terms and Conditions: https://panhans.dev/apps/urly/terms.html
