App does exactly what it says it does with no extra fluff or frills. It just works and that’s pretty refreshing these days. However, to the developer: when opening a cleaned link in browser I noticed it goes straight to Safari and this can’t be changed. I use Chrome as my default browser—never touch Safari. Being able to select your browser, or bare minimum have the app use the browser the user has selected as their “default browser” in their iPhone settings seems like a simple update/implementation. My two cents!
Developer Response
Thanks for the review! For privacy reasons, iOS does not provide an API for apps to find out what the users' default browser is. The latest version of the app (1.0.11), now detects if Chrome is installed on the device and adds a "Open in Chrome" button.
Works great. Killer feature is the optional, automatic clipboard monitoring!

I was looking everywhere for a safari extension that automatically strips out tracking junk from links. I searched and saw this one but it didn’t mention that it has a feature to automatically monitor your clipboard and automatically clean links! This is your killer feature and I would add an image preview for it! Great app!
Great App for Cleaning Useless Tracking Junk from Links

It occasionally leaves a dangling piece but saves me a bunch of editing before I send links to others or when posting online.
Works well, but still connects to network

Great option for QR codes, but really needs a way to prevent automatically expanding short links. This can still attribute a click to you if the original URL was targeted or shared only to you.
Developer Response
Thanks for the thoughtful feedback. You’re right that some short links require a network request to resolve. Clean Links only does that when the final destination cannot be determined from the URL alone, which is common with URL shorteners and some ad-network redirects. Those requests go directly from your device to the destination, not through our servers, and we do not log the links you clean. We also use isolated requests with no persisted cookies or browsing history, and we strip tracking parameters before and after redirects. We mention this in our FAQ under “Is this really local?”
