Trackless Links: URL & PiP

About this app

Tired of messy links full of tracking codes? Trackless Links cleans every link, blocks trackers, and puts you back in control of Safari on iPhone and iPad. CLEAN LINKS. ZERO TRACKING. Every link you click or share gets cleaned automatically. No more utm_source, fbclid, or gclid following you around the web. Share links without the tracking baggage. KEEP LINKS IN SAFARI (NEW) Sick of taps that bounce you into Instagram, X, YouTube, TikTok, Reddit, LinkedIn, Pinterest, or Spotify? Switch on Open in Safari for any site and links stay where you want them: in your browser. Add your own domains too. All off by default. SMART REDIRECTS THAT SAVE TIME Skip annoying middleman pages. Redirect Twitter/X to XCancel, Reddit to Old Reddit, YouTube to Invidious, Google Maps to Apple Maps, and more. Build your own rules with plain text or regex. Over 20 privacy-focused redirects built in. SOURCE CREDIBILITY: KNOW BEFORE YOU CLICK Trackless Links warns you when you visit sites flagged for misinformation, fake news, or conspiracy theories.

- NEW: Credibility updates now confirm themselves. Install a new CRED-1 release and the app tells you exactly which version you are on, then settles back to a calm "up to date" state. - IMPROVED: A cleaner Credibility tab - the dataset version appears once, the last update reads in plain language, and the status badge reflects whether protection is actually running. - IMPROVED: Clearer status messages throughout the Credibility tab, now in every supported language. - IMPROVED: The Pro upgrade section now explains how App Store bundle pricing works. - FIXED: In Safari's extension list, the Pro extension now carries its own name and icon, and its popup and on-page credibility badge name the right app too. - NEW: The Credibility tab now links straight to the CRED-1 research paper, next to the existing GitHub link. Credibility data is checked and applied entirely on your device. As always, nothing about your browsing leaves it. Thank you for your feature requests and bug reports - they help us continuously improve Trackless Links!

Momentum comes from crawler snapshots for the tracked storefront. “Viral growth signal” means unusually fast recent rating gains; it is an indicator, not download data.
