LinkClean strips tracking junk from any link, so what you share is the clean destination — not a trail of who shared it, from where, and when. Paste a link and LinkClean instantly removes tracking parameters like utm_source, fbclid, gclid, and dozens more. You see exactly what was taken out and what's left, then copy a clean link with a single tap. CLEAN FROM ANYWHERE You don't have to open the app to clean a link: • Share Sheet — tap Share in any app, pick Clean URL, and the tidied link is on your clipboard • Safari — clean the link of the page you're on right from the toolbar, then copy it, copy as Markdown, or share • Shortcuts & Siri — clean links inside your own automations, hands-free • Control Center & Home Screen widget — one tap cleans whatever you've copied • Copy As… — plain, Markdown [title](url) with the page title filled in, or your own format • Clean & Share — clean the link and hand it straight back to the share sheet, so you can send it on without starting over CLEANING THAT GOES DEEPER LinkClean does more than trim the obvious tags: • Unwraps redirect links to find and clean the real destination • Strips trackers hiding after the # in a link • Expands short links too — turn on Short-Link Expansion and LinkClean follows bit.ly, t.co, and the like to the real page before cleaning it (free, off by default, and the only time the link itself is sent out — always your choice) SCAN & MAKE QR CODES • Scan a QR code to clean the link hidden inside it • Turn any clean link into a fresh QR code to share SEE WHO WAS TRACKING YOU Every clean shows a calm summary of how many trackers were removed — tap to see exactly which ones, and who set each one. utm_source was built by Urchin Software in 1996, years before Google bought them and turned it into Google Analytics. fbclid is Meta's, from 2018. Tap a leftover to strip it from now on. The Statistics dashboard adds it all up over time, with a privacy card you can share. MAKE IT YOURS • Turn the built-in tracker list on or off • Add your own parameters to always remove • Keep a searchable History of everything you've cleaned — copy, share, re-clean, or reopen any link, and tap one to see exactly what changed, before and after ONE PURCHASE, YOURS FOREVER LinkClean is free to use: unlimited cleaning, the Share Sheet and Shortcuts actions, one custom parameter of your own, and your last 7 days of History. LinkClean Pro unlocks your own copy formats, unlimited custom parameters, your full History archive, and a link library where you can save a cleaned link with your own note and pin the ones that matter — a single one-time purchase. No subscription, no account, nothing recurring. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Cleaning happens entirely on your device, and the full links you clean never leave it — not the path, the parameters, or any values. The one exception is Short-Link Expansion: turn it on and the link is sent out, to follow it to the real page. LinkClean uses only anonymous, aggregate analytics to learn which features matter; the one thing it notes about a cleaned link is its site domain (like youtube.com), never the full link. See the privacy policy for the full picture. Built for iOS 26 with a fast, native, Liquid Glass interface. — Privacy Policy: https://ken0nek.com/apps/linkclean/privacy-policy/

About

TORKO

Features
Read full description

TORKO turns your iPhone into a real car diagnostic tool. Plug in a Bluetooth LE or Wi-Fi OBD2 adapter and in a couple of minutes you know what your car actually has to say — every control module, every fault code, the odometer and the emissions readiness. EVERY MODULE, NOT JUST THE ENGINE Cheap scanners read engine codes only. TORKO queries every control unit — engine, gearbox, ABS, airbags, climate, gateway — and also sweeps the bus for modules that are not even on the list. Each one names itself from the car. FAULTS IN PLAIN LANGUAGE Every code is explained the way a good mechanic would explain it: what happened, whether you can keep driving, the likely causes ranked by probability and what to check first. Ten AI explanations every month, free. LIVE AI DIAGNOSIS While the adapter is connected, TORKO takes a snapshot of live sensor data and reads the fault together with it. Fuel trims, MAF, temperatures — the answer is about this car at this moment, not a generic description. MILEAGE FROM SEVERAL MODULES Mileage is not stored only in the instrument cluster. TORKO reads it from every module that keeps it, and a spread between them is direct evidence that the odometer was rolled back. HISTORY PER VIN Every scan is stored against the car's VIN. If a fault was cleared right before a sale and came back, you see it — with the date the memory was wiped and how far the car has been driven since. BEFORE YOU BUY A CAR A health score for every system, freshly erased fault memory, unfinished readiness monitors and mileage disagreements between modules — a pre-purchase report you can read in the seller's driveway. ROAD TEST Record a ten-minute drive and TORKO analyses it: thermostat, fuel trims, alternator voltage, boost pressure, idle stability, DPF regeneration and real fuel consumption. CLEAR FAULTS EVERYWHERE Not only the engine (Mode 04) but ABS, airbags and comfort modules too — the way professional tools do it. Clearing repairs nothing, and the history keeps a record of it. LIVE DATA 27 sensor values in real time — RPM, coolant and oil temperature, fuel trims, MAP, lambda, battery voltage — plus a trip meter with real fuel consumption. WHAT YOU NEED • iPhone with iOS 16 or newer • A Bluetooth LE or Wi-Fi ELM327-type OBD2 adapter (OBDLink CX/MX+, Vgate vLinker or iCar Pro, Veepeak BLE+). Classic Bluetooth (SPP) adapters do not work with iPhone, and locked devices (FIXD, Carly, OBDeleven) only work with their own apps. • A car with OBD2: petrol from 2001, diesel from 2004 in the EU. The multi-module deep scan is fully calibrated for the VW group today (VW, Audi, Skoda, SEAT, Cupra). Standard OBD2 diagnostics work on every OBD2 car and more makes are being added. TORKO is free — every feature is available to every registered user. Support: https://torko.eu/support Privacy policy: https://torko.eu/privacy Terms of use: https://torko.eu/terms
