LinkClean strips tracking parameters from any URL before you share it — on iPhone, in the share sheet, and from Shortcuts.
When you share a link from your phone, hidden tracking parameters usually ride along: utm_source, fbclid, gclid, and many more. They leak what you clicked, what you bought, who sent it. LinkClean removes them — locally, on your device, with no account.
Paste a link from anywhere. LinkClean shows what's tracking, strips it, and hands back a clean URL ready to share.
utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign (Google Analytics campaign tags) and fbclid (Meta's click identifier).
Not a browser extension — LinkClean cleans whatever passes through your share sheet, clipboard, or QR. Native apps, messengers, anywhere.
Cleaning runs on-device. No account, no sign-up, no email. Your links never reach a server — there isn't one.
A curated list of vendor-specific parameters (utm_*, fbclid, gclid…), host-scoped so a tracker on one site doesn't break a functional key on another.
| LinkClean | Browser extension | |
|---|---|---|
| Where it cleans | Anywhere on iPhone — share sheet, clipboard, QR, widget. | Only links that pass through the browser tab. |
| Native apps | Cleans links from any native app (Messages, Mail, Slack, etc.). | Can't see traffic outside the browser. |
| Account | None. Nothing to sign in to. | Some extensions sync via account. |
| Where it runs | On-device. The URL never leaves your phone. | On-device too — but the rule list often updates from a server. |
| Surfaces | Main app, share extension, Shortcuts, Control Center, home-screen widget, QR scan. | Address bar / right-click menu. |
Paste a link, see what was stripped, copy or share the clean version.
Tap the share sheet from any app and pick Clean URL — the cleaned link is on your clipboard before the sheet closes.
Clean Link and Clean Clipboard intents drop into any Shortcut or automation.
One-tap “clean the clipboard” from the home screen or Control Center.
Scan a QR to clean its link, or generate a QR from a cleaned link.
Each parameter has a story: who put it there, what it leaks, why it's safe to remove. We keep a glossary of every parameter LinkClean strips by default — start with utm_source, fbclid, gclid. Browse the trackers glossary →
Yes. Tracking parameters are added by analytics, ads, and email tools — the page itself doesn't need them to load. Stripping them takes you to the same article, video, or product page, just without the tail of trackers.
By default: Google Analytics UTM tags (utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, …), Meta's fbclid, Google Ads' gclid / gbraid / wbraid, Microsoft's msclkid, TikTok's ttclid, Yandex's yclid, and many more — about 80 vendor-specific parameters in the default catalog. Generic names that double as functional keys (like ref or source) are off by default; you can turn them on per site.
No. LinkClean is a native iOS app, so it cleans links from any app, not just the browser — Messages, Mail, Slack, X, Reddit, whatever you're sharing from. There's nothing to install in Safari.
Nowhere. Cleaning runs on your device. No account, no sign-up, no email. The catalog of trackers ships inside the app; we don't fetch rules from a server.
Yes. Cleaning is free and always will be. LinkClean Pro is a one-time in-app purchase that unlocks custom Copy Formats (e.g. Markdown, your own template) and unlimited custom tracking parameters.
