You should code your ID, card number, express delivery order and other private information when posting, right? But did you know that sharing links also exposes your privacy. Most apps add your identity information to the shared link. Live links are sometimes very short, and identity information can also be encoded in the string. Pure Link is a URL link cleaning tool that helps users clear tracking parameters in URLs, such as user information, device information, etc., with one click to protect user privacy. When we use URL links to share content, many URLs will place user information, device information and other parameters to track users and expose our personal information to the platform or the people being shared. Of course, this is not what most users want. You can use PureShare to remove tracking parameters with one click and protect your privacy.

Put it away. Find it later. Just say where you put something — "the charger is in the kitchen junk drawer" — and WhereMate files the thing and the place. Months later, ask, and see the place, the photo and your note. • Say it, type it, or snap a photo. One sentence is enough. • Find anything fast: the place first, then the box, the photo and your note. • Every save shows what was saved, with Undo and one-tap fixes. • Places hold boxes, and boxes hold things. Know what's in every box. • Print a QR label for any box, or save it as a PDF. Scan the label with WhereMate to see inside. • Made for iPhone and iPad, in Light or Dark. Private by design Your library stays on your device. No account, no ads, no tracking, and nothing is sent to us. Speech and photo recognition run on your device. On supported devices, Apple's on-device language model helps understand what you said; everywhere else WhereMate's own rules do the same job, on your device. Simple pricing Free for your first 5 things. One purchase unlocks unlimited things and every label design. No subscription. If you used WhereMate before version 6.0, unlimited things stay free for you. Great for passports and documents, rings and keepsakes, chargers and spare keys, seasonal bins, storage units and moving boxes.
