Link Clear app for Android description
Link Clear strips tracking parameters from URLs using the bundled ClearURLs ruleset. It works entirely offline by default: paste or share a link, and get back the same link with the tracking noise removed.
Three ways to clean a link:
- Share target — share a link to Link Clear from any app. You land on a confirmation screen showing the cleaned URL with Copy, Share, and Open actions. With Automatic action enabled, the chosen action runs immediately.
- Quick Settings tile — add the Clean clipboard tile to your Quick Settings panel. One tap cleans whatever is on the clipboard, in place.
- In-app editor — open the app for a Paste Clean / Paste Raw editor with a live before/after diff of exactly what was removed.
Privacy first:
- Offline by default. The cleaning ruleset is bundled, so no network is needed.
- No runtime permissions. Link Clear only acts when you explicitly share, tap the tile, or paste — it never watches your clipboard in the background.
- Two optional, off-by-default network features: resolving shortened links (t.co, bit.ly, and similar) before cleaning, and manually refreshing the bundled ruleset. Neither runs unless you turn it on.
