About Link Cleaner: URL Guard
Link Cleaner helps you pause before opening messy or suspicious links in Safari. It checks tracking values, shopping links, and short links, then lets you open the original link, open a cleaner version when possible, or cancel. Features: - Tap-before-open confirmation in Safari - Cleaner URL option for removable tracking values - Local link checker inside the app - Personal warning and allow lists - Share extension for links from other apps - No account, subscription, or in-app purchase Link analysis runs on your device. The app does not use a developer server. Short links are flagged before you open them, but their final destination is not expanded automatically in this serverless version.
