What it does

Safari extension for iOS & macOS that makes links behave. • Open supported links in native apps (YouTube, Maps, Telegram…) • Clean URLs: remove tracking (utm/fbclid/gclid), unwrap social redirects, expand short links, strip AMP • Transparent logs + export, per-site “Never Redirect”, profiles & quick modes. Runs 100% on-device. Free to start, one-time Lifetime upgrade (Universal Purchase).

Open Links in Apps for iOS and macOS opens links in native apps, removes tracking parameters, expands short URLs, and strips AMP - all processed locally on your device. One purchase for iPhone, iPad & Mac.

Send links to native apps, strip tracking parameters, and switch between default, Clean Only, and Apps Only in seconds. Everything runs locally on your device. Eight powerful tools packed into one Safari extension. Enable exactly what you need - nothing more. Automatically open YouTube, Twitter/X, Reddit, Spotify, Maps, and 25+ more apps instead of the mobile web. Strip utm_*, fbclid, gclid and 100+ tracking parameters from URLs before you even see them. Get the original article instead of Google's slow AMP version. Clean, fast, and ad-free. Google Maps links open in Apple Maps automatically. Navigate with Siri and offline maps. Resolve bit.ly, t.co, tinyurl and other shortened links to…from safarismartredirector.chama.pro

    Hey HN, A couple of months ago, my brother and I built a little macOS cli app for ourselves. The idea was to remove tracking parameters from share urls from Instagram, Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, Reddit, Twitter, Tiktok, etc. Also, URL shorteners. A bit later, after seeing a lot of "quishing" attacks here in Ireland, we ported it iOS and added support for scanning QR codes and previewing (and expanding) URLs from QR codes.

  • Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986.

I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
