Simple URL Sanitizer

Richard Banasiak

About this app

Sometimes you just want to share a link with a friend without being canceled by association. Freedom of assembly, or something...

Anyway, this app gives you a simple way to remove query parameters from any URL. Either launch the app and paste a URL into the text box or share a URL from another app via the Android Sharesheet.

Uncheck the boxes to remove any tracking parameters from the URL. Have to figure out which ones those are by yourself, though. This app is *simple*, remember? (But at least it will save your selections for next time.)

Open source code released to the public domain. Check it out here: https://github.com/banasiak/SimpleShare

Ratings and reviews

Very handy for sharing links without tracking. I use it every day.

Pretty much perfect, great stuff!! I hate how many apps have normalised ignoring privacy and causing private profiles to be doxxed.

This is incredible. I'm always sharing Instagram links and others with friends and it contains all kinds of tracking nonsense. Well not anymore!
