About this app

Don't like those tracking GET queries from the big brothers? Here, this app got your back. Features:

Cleanup URLs when opening link Sharing URLs to this app also cleans the URL

How to use: Opening a link: Simply open the link with this app first, and choose the app you want to use to open the link afterwards. Sharing a link: Share to this app first, and choose the app you want the link to share to afterwards. Adding missing GET query(ies): Open the app, fill the query in, then tap on "Add Entry" button. (Note. Wildcard is supported since 1.3.0, check default entries for usage)

How it works:

This app handles Android intent to open/share link, so the app can get the URL and modify it, get rid of those dirty query and create another intent for your original action.

How to install this safely

How to verify the file you downloaded

Before you install anything, confirm the file is the one described here. On a computer, run shasum -a 256 your-download.apk (macOS or Linux) or certutil -hashfile your-download.apk SHA256 (Windows), then compare the output character-for-character with the SHA-256 on this page. If a single character differs, the file is not the build we recorded — delete it.

What the signing certificate proves

Every Android app is signed with a private key that only its developer holds. The fingerprint on this page is a hash of the matching public certificate, and it proves continuity rather than identity: it tells you a build came from whoever signed the earlier ones. Android enforces this at install time — if a package claiming to be moe.dic1911.urlsanitizer is signed with a different key, the system will refuse to install it over your existing copy. A fingerprint that changes between releases is worth pausing on, because a repackaged app that has been modified by someone else cannot keep the original signature.

How to roll back to an earlier version

If the current release misbehaves, 3.0.3 is the last build before it. Android will not install an older version code over a newer one, so you must uninstall URLSanitizer first — which clears its local data unless you have a backup. Reinstall the older APK only if its signing fingerprint matches the build you already trust, and check the API range: an older release may target an Android version your device has moved past.

Why we list sources instead of hosting everything

The official store channel is almost always the right choice: it updates automatically and carries the publisher's own distribution guarantees. A direct APK is useful when a device has no store access, when a rollout has not reached your region, or when you need a specific version — and only when the publisher has authorized that copy. APKBrowse does not list pirated, cracked, or unauthorized rebuilds of URLSanitizer, and a listing is removed when the evidence for it stops holding up.
