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

LinkDive — Remove Tracking from Links. Share Privately. Every link you share can contain hidden tracking parameters. These parameters (such as utm, fbclid, igsh, and others) are used to monitor sharing behavior, measure activity, and connect interactions across platforms. LinkDive removes them instantly. Paste a link, clean it, and share a private version. No tracking. No servers. 100% on-device. What LinkDive Does LinkDive automatically detects and removes tracking parameters from links before you share them. It works with links from social platforms, websites, and messaging apps. The destination stays the same. The tracking does not. Why This Matters Most shared links include hidden identifiers that can: • Track who shared the link • Track who clicked it • Connect activity across apps and sites • Build behavioral profiles These parameters are not visible, but they are present in many URLs. LinkDive removes them before the link leaves your device. How It Works • Copy a link • Open LinkDive or use the Share Extension • Link is detected automatically • Clean version is generated instantly • Share without tracking No setup. No friction.
