The web is full of links—but far too many of them are cluttered with tracking cruft, marketing parameters, and unnecessary complexity. These bloated URLs don’t just look ugly. They undermine privacy, fragment your links, and get in the way of meaningful connections between your information.
Clean My Links is Hookmark 7’s built-in solution. It automatically removes tracking and unnecessary cruft from web URLs, so your links stay private, beautiful, and durable across time and contexts.
Not a Link Shortener
Clean My Links™ is not a traditional link-shortening service. It does not: change the domain, introduce redirects, or rely on external services.
Moreover, unlike competitors, Hookmark’s Clean My Links works without you needing to instal a plugin or extension in any browser, let alone all of them!
Get dynamic updates
Since the web has so much URL cruft, CogSci Apps will gradually improve its rules for cleaning your links. If you enable automatic updates, then you’ll get these improvements of ours gradually, without needing to reboot Hookmark.
Add and share cruft-removal rules
If there are additional URL patterns you want to clean, Pro users can add new cleaning rules themselves. And please consider posting your new rules below. (Enclose the URLs in ``` tick symbols so that the forum software doesn’t convert them to hot links.)
For more information
We offer three pages of documentation regarding the Clean My Links™ feature:
- Benefits of Clean My Links™,
- Clean My Links — Hookmark Removes Cruft from Your URLs, and
- Clean My Links Settings tab
We hope you enjoy your new super powers, and that you’ll share your cleaning requests.
