BeforeTap vs UrlHist

Know where a link goes before you tap it. BeforeTap reveals the destination behind shortened, tracking, and unfamiliar URLs. Paste a link, scan a QR code, or share a link from another app. QR links receive the same destination, redirect, and warning-sign checks as pasted links before anything opens. See what changed - The final destination and real domain - Every redirect hop and HTTP status code - DNS, SSL, WHOIS, and useful technical details - URL warning signs explained in plain language - Tracking parameters that can be removed Use it anywhere - Paste or type a URL - Scan and check a QR link with the camera before opening it - Check a QR link from a photo or screenshot - Send a link to BeforeTap from the iOS share sheet - Run Inspect URL from Shortcuts or Siri - Copy or share the final destination - Share a polished PDF inspection report - Copy a cleaner link without common tracking tags Private by design No account. No ads. No analytics. Your inspection history stays on your device and can be deleted at any time. Submitted links are processed by T.LY's link-tools services to resolve redirects and return the inspection report. Clear, honest results BeforeTap points out structural warning signs such as unencrypted HTTP, encoded domains, direct IP addresses, unusual ports, deep subdomains, and long redirect chains. It does not label a link “safe” or pretend to replace antivirus software. A clean result is not a guarantee. When a link involves money, passwords, or personal information, use the organization’s official app or type its known address yourself. BeforeTap is free and supported by T.LY.
