Clean Links

Coming soon in the next update to Clean Links for macOS. Spot and clean tracking URLs on any website. Works fully offline. Also available on iOS.

@wstwd It’ll go away on its own in about a week. You could’ve turned it off in the app settings on the laptop, before wiping it. Although, if you’re already erased the laptop, there’s nothing to do. We’ll try to come up with a better way to do it in a future update.

@CleanLinksApp How can I remove the bottom laptop from the iOS app, please? (I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app without success.) That computer has been wiped and is now being used by someone else so I no longer need to share to it. Thanks!

Version 1.0.12 of Clean Links for iOS and macOS were released today. This version adds limited support for older devices running iOS 17.6 and macOS 14.6, amongst other things.

@Revolt666 Thanks for flagging that. We received numerous DMs and emails from users about it yesterday. It most likely changed yesterday. An update with support for it is already on its way and currently awaiting App Store review.

@CleanLinksApp, sharing links from the YouTube app now adds an "is" parameter that your app doesn't remove.

@CleanLinksApp @TansuYegen Whats the app?

Be careful everyone, this happened in greystones. The lady's daughter was scammed out of €1000, using a QR code that she scanned to pay for parking.

@jeethu @private_llm @sindresorhus @sindresorhus We understand that you’re selling a $4 app (Pure Paste) for a builtin macOS feature (⌥⇧⌘V). That’s fine. But please don’t attack people and get them banned from subreddits, just because they’re talking about a free, superior alternatives to one of your paid apps.

@jeethu @private_llm @sindresorhus Posting @sindresorhus’s tenuous “proof” in this thread before he deletes it, like he deleted his reddit comment after getting u/awesomeo1989 banned from r/MacApps with it.

Looks like @sindresorhus is getting users banned from the MacApps reddit for mentioning Clean Links, a free alternative to his commercial app HyperDuck. Stay classy my friend!🧵with all the receipts.

@Spreadburn Thanks for the suggestion! Done, it’ll ship in the next update in a couple of days.

@CleanLinksApp would be cool if You could resolve Links from the Flipboard App, like this: flip.it/h6uN8q

Ecosia will make great stewards for Chrome, because they’re so tightly integrated into the Google ads ecosystem. Greenwashing FTW!
