Share links with a little more privacy. Ever feel uneasy about the hidden tracking tags attached to links you share? When you create shareable links from apps like YouTube, YouTube Music, Facebook, or Instagram, they can include tracking information—such as utm_source=, si=, igsh=, fbclid, mibextid, and similar tags—that may reveal how or where a link was shared. Maybe platforms already know you created a link. But who you share it with? That feels like your business. My Red Ogre helps clean shared links by removing tracking information before you send them—giving you and your recipients a little more privacy. It’s not just about your privacy. The people receiving your links may not want their browsing activity tied back to who shared them. New: URL History & iCloud Sync Your cleaned links can now sync across devices with iCloud. Run My Red Ogre on your Mac and copied links can be automagically cleaned across your Apple devices. Just copy a supported link to your clipboard and a cleaner version is ready to share. You can also browse your recent cleaned URLs with the new URL History feature. Simple and effortless My Red Ogre automatically cleans supported links copied to your clipboard and places a cleaner version back—ready to share.
