This is the full-featured version of RedirectWeb, providing immediate access to all unlocked features equivalent to the fully unlocked standard version. While it is an ideal package for businesses, educational institutions, and organizations of all types via Apple’s Volume Purchase Program (VPP), it is also perfect for individual users who prefer a complete experience from the start. ======== Tired of manually fixing URLs? RedirectWeb is a Safari extension that automatically redirects URLs based on your custom rules. Save time, protect your privacy, and browse the web your way. — TOP FEATURES & USE CASES — • Smart Maps Redirection: Automatically open Google Maps links in Apple Maps. • Search Your Way: Force Safari to use Kagi, Startpage, Brave Search, or any privacy-focused engine as your default. • Better Social Media: Redirect Twitter/X to Nitter, Reddit to Old Reddit, or YouTube to Invidious for a cleaner, ad-free experience. • Global Compatibility: Works seamlessly on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro. Also compatible with Chrome and Firefox on Mac. • Extensive Library: Don't know where to start? Browse our built-in library of popular, pre-made rules. — PRIVACY FIRST — • Zero Tracking: We do not collect any personal data. Your browsing habits stay on your device. • No Ads: Enjoy a distraction-free utility. — FOR POWER USERS — • Multiple Rule Formats: Support for Wildcards and full Regular Expressions (Regex). • Advanced Logic: Use exclusion patterns to prevent loops and capture groups ($1, $2) for complex URL rewriting. • Ultra-Fast DNR Rules: Leverage the modern Declarative Net Request API for lightning-fast, zero-latency redirections before network requests even start. Gain granular control by filtering resource types and HTTP methods. • Sync & Backup: iCloud Sync keeps your rules updated across all your devices. Export/Import JSON for easy backup. — UNLOCKED FEATURES — • Unlimited Rules: Create, manage, and run as many active redirection rules as you need without any restrictions. • iCloud Sync: Keep your rule library seamlessly updated and securely backed up across all your devices. • Universal Purchase: Enjoy the fully unlocked experience on your Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Vision Pro. Buy once, use on all devices. (The same features you can unlock in the standard RedirectWeb app.) — FOR ENTERPRISES & IT ADMINS — • MDM Support: Centrally deploy and manage redirection rules across your organization's devices using Apple's Managed App Configuration (Jamf, Intune, Kandji, etc.). • Enforced Routing & Control: Seamlessly redirect employees during internal system migrations, set up intranet access, and lock down in-app settings to prevent user tampering. — HOW IT WORKS — 1. Install RedirectWeb Pro and enable the extension in Safari. 2. Add a rule from the Library or create your own "From → To" flow. 3. Browse as usual. RedirectWeb Pro handles the rest in the background! — SUPPORT — Questions or feedback? Go to Settings → "Send Feedback" within the app. We listen to our users! Take control of your web links today.
