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.

TrustLens helps you decide before you tap. Scan QR codes and analyze links to spot phishing and scam signals before opening a page. TrustLens shows the real destination, explains risk indicators in plain language, and keeps your checks private on your device. How it works: - Scan a QR code or paste a URL - Expand short links and follow redirect chains safely - Score risk from 0-100 and label it Safe, Caution, or Danger - Show clear reasons (HTTP, suspicious keywords, unusual domains, too many redirects, and more) - Recommend what to do next: Open normally, Open with caution, or avoid and use the official site Key features: - QR scanner with torch and large viewfinder - “Analyze” confirmation step before any link opens - Safe Open flow with extra warning for high-risk links - Share Sheet extension: analyze links from other apps - Save analysis history with date, domain, and risk level - Share a readable safety report - Trusted domain whitelist to reduce false alarms - Multilingual support Privacy first: - On-device analysis: scanned and shared URLs are processed locally - No scanned URLs are uploaded to our servers - Personalized ads are optional and off by default - ATT permission is requested only if you choose personalized ads Important: TrustLens provides risk indicators to help reduce risk. It is not antivirus software and cannot guarantee total protection. Always verify sensitive actions on official websites.
