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. Powered by CRED-1, an open peer-reviewed dataset of 2,672 domains.
• Five independent signals: editorial classification, watchdog ratings, web prominence, domain age, safety checks
• Tiered banners: high (red), elevated (orange), moderate (yellow)
• Dismiss per site or navigate back with one tap
• Optional CRED-1 auto-updates keep the dataset current
• 100% on-device, no browsing data leaves your phone
• Off by default, enable in the Credibility tab
BROWSER TWEAKS THAT ACTUALLY WORK
Take back control of annoying site behaviors:
• Block autoplay videos and audio
• Picture-in-Picture on any video, including YouTube on the free tier (swipe up, lock the device, or long-press the video)
• Force text selection on protected pages
• Lock playback speed across sites
• Hide cookie consent banners (experimental)
• Force dark mode on any website
• Remove zoom restrictions on mobile sites
• Reduce distracting animations
WHY USERS LOVE IT
Cleaner URLs are shorter, safer, and easier to read. Redirects save clicks every day. Archive access via Wayback Machine recovers deleted content. Everything runs locally on your device, no accounts, no servers, no data collection.

No analytics. No tracking. No cloud processing. Every feature runs entirely on your device. Your browsing data never leaves your control.

Alex has developed a fantastic extension here and it’s well worth the price for how many great features he’s packed into this (frankly I’m amazed). It does so much more than remove tracking parameters and I couldn’t be more pleased.
AMAZING!!

I’m not too sure what I’m doing but the dev made it super simple and has all major things already set by default which helps me so much!! I’m obsessed!!
URL Decode
Mikedelic
This app handles some tracking. However, it would be more helpful to handle others like awstrack.me that encode the target URL. Including URL decoding for that portion of the link would make this app very useful.
- NEW: Amazon checkout shortcut skips the "Do you need anything else?" interstitial and takes you straight to your cart (off by default, enable it in Settings > Redirects)
- IMPROVED: Owners of Trackless Links now see the exact upgrade price for Trackless Links Pro right in Settings, so you know what the App Store charges before you tap
The new Amazon redirect rule is off by default. You can enable it anytime in Settings > Redirects.
Thank you for your feature requests and bug reports - they help us continuously improve Trackless Links! This release came straight from your GitHub issues.
