FixupXer removes tracking from URLs before you copy, share, or open them. Processing runs entirely on your device, with no ads, account, analytics, or Android permissions.
Clean and improve links
- Remove known tracking parameters from YouTube, Instagram, X, TikTok, Facebook, Amazon, Google, Reddit, and many other services. A universal cleaner covers other websites.
- Keep unknown and functional parameters by default. Instagram post/Reel links keep a valid carousel image selector; individual Story permalinks lose query parameters and fragments. Complete X post links remove changing share tags while retaining supported options and media path selection.
- Unwrap supported redirect links entirely offline.
- Optionally convert links to embed-friendly frontends for chat previews or readers that can display public content without an account. Choose built-in options or add custom domains in Settings.
Use it your way
- Share a URL to FixupXer, paste it into the app, or select text and choose "Clean link" where the source app supports it.
- Choose the next action: open in an app or browser, share, or copy.
- Enable Browser Mode in Settings and select FixupXer as Android's default browser to process eligible links automatically. Verified App Links may bypass it.
- Keep Browser frontend choices separate from Main/Share choices. Remember a preferred browser or an app choice for a website host.
- Native actions restore supported X, Instagram, and TikTok embed links to the original platform. Browser, Share, and Copy keep the processed URL; failed actions offer Retry.
Private Link Guard
Get an offline warning when a link still contains credentials, email addresses, auth tokens, or precise coordinates. Review the finding before sharing. Remove a flagged query parameter when available, or go back. Sensitive originals stay out of history and cache; fully cleaned results may be saved as redacted entries when History is on. The guard cannot detect every private value.
Custom rules and local controls
- Create optional rules for hosts or URL patterns, with ordered processing phases, templates, and Teach-from-example drafts.
- Preview changes in Test Lab, save per-rule test cases, and import or export rule bundles. Custom rules start disabled.
- Use optional local history with Undo, manual settings and rule backups, and System, Light, or Dark themes.
- Open online Help for setup, examples, and troubleshooting.
Privacy and third-party services
FixupXer makes no network requests. Opening or sharing a result hands it to another app or service with its own privacy policy. Optional frontends are independently operated and may change or stop working; conversion can be disabled.
