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.
