GNAT Linker is a utility that helps you remove your identity from links you may share from other apps and social platforms. GNAT Linker works where private info traceable to you is mixed together with the link to the unique content you want to share. GNAT Linker does the work of visiting this encoded link and each redirect to obtain the decoded final link which no longer includes your private info. You can then share or open the clean link.

Your TikTok username is hidden in every link you share. Amazon tracks who you share with and how. Even innocent-looking short links from Facebook and Instagram contain codes that follow you everywhere. ShareCleaner reveals what links hide and removes it in one tap. WHAT IT DOES Share any link to from TikTok and Facebook (Free version), or Instagram, Amazon, YouTube, Twitter, Safari, and any app (PrivateLink Pro). See exactly what tracking codes were attached and what they reveal about you. Copy your clean link or share it directly. LEARN AS YOU GO Removed trackers includes a plain-language explanation. See that "fbclid" means Facebook is tracking your clicks. Understand why Amazon embeds your search terms. PrivateLink educates while it protects—you'll never look at links the same way again. PRIVACY BY DESIGN All processing happens on your device or through direct verified connections to link hosts. No cloud services collecting your links. No accounts or sign-ups.

Our signature database is signed and encrypted to ensure every update comes from a trusted source. WORKS WITH EVERYTHING Use ShareCleaner from any app's share sheet. Clean links before texting them to friends, posting to Discord, or sharing on social media. Works seamlessly with your entire digital life. Share links, not your data.
