URLCheck in detail

You may have received those long links from someone, but have you ever wondered if you really need the entire URL to access the content? In most cases you do...

Haven’t seen a lot of talk about URLCheck.

It can clear useless URL parameters, unshorten shortened links, scan links with VirusTotal (API key required) or redirect you to privacy friendly websites like Nitter or Libreddit.

If you are interested checking it out, check out my guide I made on it too!

PS. I’m not affiliated with the dev/app in any way. Just wanted to share this useful app that no one has been talking about.

Would be nice if it appeared in the share menu

URLCheck is in the share menu for me, right beside my lemmy app lol. I can open the app and use the “test link” to paste a link in for editing too.

Not sure if you somehow got an older version, or maybe a different app?
