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.

LuxMeter turns your iPhone camera into a precise light meter, giving you instant illuminance readings in lux, foot-candles, or exposure value (EV). Whether you are checking lighting conditions for work, photography, or plant care, LuxMeter delivers real-time measurements derived directly from your camera's exposure metadata using the industry-standard APEX formula. The live gauge updates continuously as you move the camera, and the automatic brightness category — from Moonlight to Direct Sun — tells you at a glance what kind of environment you are in. Hold any reading to freeze the display and share it, or save a session to keep a timestamped log of your measurements. Key features: - Real-time lux readings powered by camera exposure metadata - Displays lux, foot-candles (fc), and exposure value (EV) - Animated gauge with live min, avg, and max statistics - Hold mode to freeze and share a reading - Session history with bar chart and inline notes - EV calibration offset to match a reference meter - Built-in lux reference table covering natural light, office, home, photography, and plant growth - Clean, distraction-free design with dark mode support

Verdict
The clearest difference is device support: GNATLinker at 3 against LuxMeter's 1. GNATLinker also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
