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.

Love this app! Been using it for ages and have donated a few times.

I’ve setup a couple of custom redirects to get rid of some paywalls, redirect twitter to nitter

Mainly use it to remove tracking and just intercept URLs.

The virustotal scan is cool, I purposefully clicked a few links in my spam.
