About URL Unraveler
Ever received a link that looks like gibberish — a bit.ly short link, a Mailchimp tracking URL, or an affiliate redirect — and wondered where it actually goes? URL Unraveler traces every redirect hop, end to end, so you can see the final destination before you tap. FULL REDIRECT CHAIN Paste any URL and URL Unraveler follows it through every redirect — short links, email trackers, affiliate links, URL shorteners — all the way to the real destination. Each hop in the chain is shown with its HTTP status code and key response headers, so you can spot tracking parameters, suspicious domains, or unexpected destinations at a glance. WORKS EVERYWHERE ON YOUR IPHONE • Main app — paste or type any URL and tap Resolve • Safari Extension — inspect the link behind any URL while browsing, straight from the share sheet • Share Sheet — highlight a link in Mail, Messages, Notes, or any other app, tap Share, and send it to URL Unraveler without switching apps TRACKER-AWARE URL Unraveler recognises email marketing redirect patterns from services like Mailchimp, SendGrid, HubSpot, Klaviyo, and dozens more. Instead of hitting the tracker's server, it extracts the true destination URL directly, giving you the final link while protecting your privacy. PRIVACY-FIRST Resolution happens on our servers, not your device. Your iPhone's IP address never reaches the tracking infrastructure behind shortened or redirect URLs. No account required. No ads. No tracking of your queries. SIMPLE PRICING Free: 3 resolves per week — enough for the occasional suspicious link. Unlimited: a single one-time purchase of $0.99 unlocks unlimited resolves forever. No subscription. No renewal. Pay once and you're done. WHO IT'S FOR • Anyone who receives links in email newsletters and wants to know the real destination before clicking • Security-conscious users who want to check links for phishing or unexpected redirects • Developers and power users who need to debug redirect chains and inspect HTTP status codes • Anyone who values knowing where they're going before they get there
