FixupXer: URL Cleaner

FixupXer is a free, open-source URL cleaner for Android. It removes tracking parameters from links offline.

Processing is local. FixupXer declares no permissions, analytics, or telemetry and never sends URLs to external servers.

🔗 CLEAN AND IMPROVE LINKS

• Remove hundreds of known tracking parameters from shared or pasted URLs
• Dedicated cleaning for 25+ services, including YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok, Amazon, Google, LinkedIn, Reddit, Wikipedia, Pinterest, The Guardian, The New York Times, and more
• Universal tracking removal for other websites
• Instagram posts keep image selection; other sites keep unknown parameters
• Unwrap supported outbound redirect wrappers entirely offline
• Optionally convert social links to embed-friendly domains or account-free readers
• Pick built-in frontends per platform or add your own custom domains

🛡️ PRIVATE LINK GUARD

Get an offline warning when a link still contains credentials, e-mail addresses, auth tokens, or precise GPS coordinates.

• See what was found and where; values are never shown, logged, or stored
• Remove the offending parameter with one tap
• With History on, fully cleaned URLs may be saved as redacted entries; originals stay out

🧩 CUSTOM URL RULES

Custom rules are opt-in and remain disabled until you enable them in Settings.

• Scope rules by URL, host, domain, host group, or safe RE2/J pattern
• Remove, keep, or replace parameters; extract redirects; rewrite URL components
• Run rules before built-in cleaning, after cleaning, or after conversion; limit them to Main, Share, or Browser Mode
• Preview changes in Test Lab and add per-rule test vectors that gate enabling
• Teach by example: provide one URL and the desired result, and FixupXer drafts the rule for you
• Import, export, and roll back validated rule bundles through Android's system file picker

📱 FOUR WAYS TO USE FIXUPXER

SHARE FROM ANY APP
Share a URL to FixupXer and then copy, share, or open the cleaned result.

PASTE AND PROCESS
Paste a URL, tap "Process URL," and review the before-and-after result.

CLEAN LINK FROM SELECTED TEXT
Select a URL in any app and choose "Clean link" — editable text is replaced in place.

BROWSER MODE
Use FixupXer as the default browser or through Open with. Add, edit or delete frontends for seven platforms; Save applies the changes. Browser and Main/Share choices stay separate. Remember a preferred browser or app choices per host. Native actions restore supported embed links to the original platform. Failed actions stay local for Retry. Verified App Links may bypass FixupXer.

✨ CLEAR, MODERN INTERFACE

• Material 3 before-and-after flow with removed tracking highlighted
• System, Light, and Dark themes
• Right- or left-handed action layout
• Optional local history with retention controls

🔒 PRIVACY BY DESIGN

• History, preferences, custom proxies, rules, and rollback snapshots stay on your device

⚠️ THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

Optional conversion rewrites URL text to third-party embed or reader domains such as fixupx.com, xcancel.com, toinstagram.com, and selectable proxies. FixupXer never contacts them. If you open the result, the receiving app or service makes the network request under its own policy. These services are not operated by NeatCode Labs and may change or stop working; conversion can be disabled.
