FixupXer - URL Enhancer
Clean URL tracking, fix embeds (X, IG, FB, TikTok, Bluesky), catch link leaks
New in version 2.6.3
• Instagram renamed its share tracker on shared Reel and post links to igsi. FixupXer now removes igsi, igsh and igshid, so share links keep getting cleaned either way.
• Functional parameters such as img_index are unchanged.
• Functional parameters such as img_index are unchanged.
FixupXer removes tracking parameters from URLs to protect your privacy and make links cleaner. When you share links from social media, shopping sites, or other platforms, they often contain hidden tracking codes that follow you around the internet. FixupXer strips these away.
Key Features
* Private Link Guard: Warns when e-mail addresses, auth tokens, or precise coordinates remain visible in a link — sensitive originals stay out of history and cache, fully cleaned results are kept as redacted entries
* Browser Mode: Set FixupXer as your default browser for automatic system-wide URL cleaning, with optional privacy reader conversions for X, Bluesky, Reddit, and Pinterest and per-host saved app choices
* Direct Sharing: Share your links directly to FixupXer, no need to open the main app
* Clean Link from Selection: Select a URL in any app and choose "Clean link" to clean it in place
* Privacy Protection: Removes documented tracking keys across 26 host-bound platform cleaners; unknown functional parameters are kept so links do not break
* Redirect Unwrapping: Extracts real destinations from Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Google Ads, Reddit, Bluesky, GeoRiot/Geniuslink, and LinkSynergy/Rakuten wrappers — entirely offline
* Fast Processing: Cleans any URL in under 0.1 seconds with advanced caching
* Offline Operation: Works completely offline - your URLs never leave your device
* Platform Support: Works with 26 platforms including YouTube, Facebook, Amazon, Twitter/X, Instagram, TikTok, Bluesky, Bilibili, Google Search, Google Maps, LinkedIn, Reddit, Spotify, Wikipedia, and more
* Smart Conversions: Optional per-platform conversion to embed-friendly alternatives (fixupx.com, fxbsky.app, selectable Instagram and TikTok proxies) or account-free reader frontends (xcancel, Nitter, SkyLib, Redlib, and more), with custom domains for every platform — all pickers reachable anytime from Settings
* Custom URL Rules: Build ordered offline rules with host or regex scopes, multiple processing phases, Test Lab previews, per-rule test vectors, Teach-from-example drafts, templates, and JSON import/export
* History Tracking: Keep track of cleaned URLs with optional history feature
* Configurable Actions: Choose what happens after cleaning - open in app, browser, share, or copy to clipboard
* Backup and Restore: Export settings, custom rules, and saved app choices to a local JSON file and restore them safely
* GitHub Guides: Open detailed Browser mode and Custom URL rules instructions from the How to Use links
