02 · URL cleaner for Android

FixupXer

Strips known tracking parameters from links, optionally rewrites social links so they preview properly or open without an account, and lets you build your own ordered rules. Everything runs on the device: the app declares no permissions and makes no network requests.

What it does

Features

  • Dedicated cleaners for the major social, shopping and search platforms, plus a universal cleaner for everything else — unknown functional parameters are kept
  • Private Link Guard warns when an e-mail, token or precise coordinate is still visible in a link
  • Custom URL rules with scopes, phases and excludes, each with its own test vectors — a rule only enables once its vectors pass
  • Alternative frontends: embed-friendly domains for better previews, or account-free reader frontends
  • Browser Mode cleans eligible links Android routes through the app before handing them on
  • Process Text cleans a selected link in place from inside any app
  • Material 3, light and dark themes, optional on-device history, JSON backup and restore
  • No permissions declared and no network requests made
