CleanMyURL helps protect against tracking by social media platforms when you share links or click links shared with you. . It easily removes tracking information from the "query string" (the part of a link after the ?=), and also lets you save your own private history of links across all platforms you use. You can save and share your history, and you can remove it altogether after saving to allow you to reload it in the future. The app will also extract and clean the first link in any block of text you copy in, so you can copy-paste whole messages containing links to get a clean link you can then click on.

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. No tracking ironically happening in your privacy app. No ads, ever. Unknown parameters are blocked automatically—if PrivateLink doesn't recognize a tracking code, it's removed by default. 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.
