LinkClean – Clean links on copy
Strips tracking parameters from any link you copy, automatically
- Problem
- Links copied from social apps or marketing emails often carry long tracking parameters that leak source or personal identifiers when shared. Existing tools exist, but users want the invisible 'clean on copy' experience rather than manually opening a website to paste.
- Solution
- A lightweight clipboard watcher for desktop and mobile: when copied content contains a URL, it automatically strips utm, fbclid, gclid and similar tracking parameters while preserving the clean link. Configurable allowlist avoids breaking links that need parameters. Fully offline.
- Users
- Privacy-conscious users, content creators who share links often, and marketing or PR professionals
- MVP
- Clipboard monitoring and URL detection; built-in rule library for common tracking parameters; allowlist and blocklist; one-click toggle; support for macOS, Windows, and iOS Shortcuts
- Revenue
- Free basic version plus a one-time purchase for ad removal and custom rule sync; or a privacy toolkit subscription
- Why now
- Privacy awareness is rising, and existing tools are either web-based or ad-supported; clipboard APIs are open enough for an indie developer to ship an elegant utility fast
