That link a friend just sent you probably has a dozen tracking parameters glued to the end of it. Clean Links strips them off. It also opens up QR codes so you can read where they actually go before you commit to tapping. The app does a handful of things, and does them without an account, a subscription, or an ad: QR reader that shows you the destination URL first. Quishing scams work because nobody can read a QR code with their eyes, so you scan and hope. This one puts the real address on screen and waits. Link cleaner. Paste anything, get back the same link minus the utm tags, click IDs, and referral junk. Works on links from hundreds of shopping sites, social networks and search engines. Send to Device. Push a cleaned link from your iPhone into your Mac's browser, or over to another iPhone or iPad. If the device is asleep or offline the link waits for it. Unshorten. Feed it a bit.ly or t.co address and it follows the chain to whatever sits at the end. Useful when a shortened link turns up from someone you don't know, which is how most phishing starts. Tracker blocker covering 71+ services, running as a parameter remover across everything you paste. QR generator for making your own codes out of links you trust. Safari extension that cleans every link on a page in one tap. Shortcuts, a Control Center widget, and a share sheet action, if you want the whole thing automated. Nothing leaves your device. There's no analytics SDK in here, no crash reporter phoning home, no account to create. Privacy isn't a feature we bolted on; there was never any data to collect. ■ Send Links Between Your Devices Share a cleaned link from any iPhone, iPad or Mac and it opens where you send it: in your Mac's browser, or from a notification on iPhone and iPad. Links queue up if the device is offline. You can run Shortcuts on your other devices this way too. You'll need Clean Links on each device, iCloud turned on, and the same Apple account. ■ Coming from Hyperduck? Clean Links does the same handoff, adds tracker stripping on the way out, handles more than one Mac, and costs nothing. ■ Link Sharing FAQ ‣ Why not AirDrop? AirDrop needs both devices awake and nearby. This doesn't, and it drops the link straight into a background tab. ‣ Why not iCloud Tabs? Because iCloud Tabs only works in Safari, and the tabs are easy to lose. These open in whatever browser you actually use. ‣ Why not Reading List? Reading List is where links go to be forgotten. Yours open immediately. ‣ Why not Handoff? Handoff wants the devices in the same room. Clean Links supports Handoff anyway, for when they are. ‣ More than one device? Send to several at once. Any iPhone, iPad or Mac signed into the same Apple account with the app installed can receive. ‣ Want to leave a device out? Turn off receiving in that device's settings. ■ Spotted a tracker we don't catch yet? There's a link in Settings to tell us. We'll add them.

MoonShift is the sleep planning app built specifically for shift workers. Whether you are a nurse on 12-hour night shifts, a first responder on rotating schedules, or anyone working non-traditional hours, MoonShift helps you sleep better, recover faster, and stay alert on the job. SMART SLEEP PLANNING Enter your shift schedule and MoonShift instantly generates a personalized sleep plan. The engine accounts for your shift type, commute time, wind-down routine, and wake buffer to calculate the optimal sleep window. Get bedtime and wake-up reminders that actually match your irregular schedule. RECOVERY SCORE Stop guessing how tired you really are. MoonShift calculates a daily Recovery Score (0-100) using five evidence-based factors: sleep duration, timing, consistency, caffeine impact, and circadian disruption. Track your fatigue level and know exactly when to push hard and when to prioritize rest. CAFFEINE CUTOFF Log your coffee, tea, and energy drinks. MoonShift calculates your current caffeine level in real time using a 6-hour half-life model and warns you when to stop consuming caffeine to protect your sleep. Personalized based on your caffeine sensitivity. NAP OPTIMIZER Sleep debt building up? MoonShift recommends the right nap type at the right time: 20-minute power naps for quick alertness, 90-minute cycle naps for full restoration, and pre-shift naps for night workers. Each recommendation includes the science behind it. LIGHT GUIDANCE Light is the most powerful circadian regulator. MoonShift tells you exactly when to seek bright light and when to avoid it, based on your shift. Night workers get reminders to wear sunglasses on the commute home and seek light upon waking. TRANSITION DAY PLANS Switching from day shift to night shift? MoonShift creates a two-phase transition plan with a short recovery nap and a full night sleep, helping your body adjust to the new rhythm faster. HEALTHKIT INTEGRATION Sync your sleep data from Apple Watch via HealthKit. MoonShift reads your sleep analysis to calculate accurate recovery scores and can write planned sleep windows back to Apple Health. Manual sleep logging is also available if you do not have an Apple Watch. ROTATION TEMPLATES Set up recurring rotation patterns in seconds: 3 Day to 3 Night to 3 Off, 2 Day to 2 Night to 2 Off, 4 Day to 3 Off, 7 Night to 7 Off, or create your own custom rotation. WEEK OVERVIEW See your entire week at a glance. View shift types, sleep windows, and recovery scores for each day. Plan ahead and know when your toughest days are coming. SMART NOTIFICATIONS Get wind-down reminders before bedtime, wake-up alerts, caffeine cutoff warnings, and light guidance notifications, all timed to your specific shift schedule. PRIVACY FIRST Your data stays on your device. Health data is accessed through Apple's secure HealthKit framework and never leaves your device. No tracking, no ads, no selling data.
