About this app

LinkRelay decides which app opens a link you share. Share a link, choose "Open with LinkRelay" on the share sheet, and it opens in the app you set for that domain.

• Forwarding rules
Set a target app for each host pattern, such as *.example.com, and optionally a path pattern. When several rules match, the more specific one wins, and you can set a priority when you need to.

• Choose an app when no rule matches
If no rule matches, LinkRelay lists the apps that can open the link. You can save your choice as a rule for that domain at the same time.

• Link cleanup
Tracking parameters are removed using the ClearURLs catalog bundled with the app. You can add extra parameters to strip, per rule or per host.

• Shortened and redirector links
Redirector links that carry the destination in the URL are expanded without any network request. Links on known URL shortener domains are resolved by asking the shortener where they go, so your rules apply to the real destination. This is the only request the app makes with a link you share. It can be turned off in Settings, because the shortener counts it as a click and may use up one-time or invite links.

• History
Forwarded links are recorded in the app, and you can create a rule from any entry. Recording can be turned off.

• Backup
Export your rules and settings to a file you choose, and import them on another device.

LinkRelay does not register itself as a handler for web links. It only acts on links you share to it. It has no ads and no analytics.

What’s new

• Open the rule for a history entry by tapping the row, and see whether it edits an existing rule or creates a new one
• Dates in the history and notification channel names now follow the app language right after you switch it
