Strip tracking parameters (utm_, fbclid…) and unwrap AMP links — the moment you copy on Mac, and as pages load in Safari on Mac, iPhone & iPad. 100% on-device: no accounts, no servers, no telemetry. One purchase covers every device.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
Every link you copy or tap comes with baggage — utm_source, fbclid, gclid, affiliate tags, AMP wrappers. Bits of URL that exist only to follow you around, and most of it leaks the second you paste a link or a page loads.
Unfurl strips it out, two ways:
🖥 On Mac it lives in the menu bar and cleans every URL the moment you copy it — before you paste. No buttons, no tabs.
📱 On Mac, iPhone & iPad a Safari extension strips trackers and unwraps AMP links as pages load — in the network layer, so it never reads or alters your page content.
The part I care about most: it's 100% on-device. No accounts, no servers, no telemetry — not even for itself. The rules are open standards (ClearURLs, Brave, AdGuard), bundled and run locally; the only network calls are opt-in and off by default.
The one I'm geekiest about: the Safari side runs entirely on declarativeNetRequest — the API that cleans links without ever reading your pages. Plenty of forum threads (and even MDN's version table) say Safari's DNR can't rewrite URLs, so unwrapping AMP links "isn't possible." I didn't buy it — I built a throwaway probe extension and tested it on a real iPhone instead of trusting the docs. Turns out Safari does honor regexSubstitution (since 17.0), so AMP links unwrap straight to the real page — no redirect bounce. I mapped exactly what DNR can and can't do, then split the engine around it: instant click-time cleaning where DNR shines, and the clipboard engine for the trickier encoded wrappers.
A few other things I'm proud of: a searchable History with the full before/after diff, an on-device "what this means?" breakdown of what each tracker actually did, and one purchase that covers every device (Universal Purchase).
I built this quietly over a few months — I wanted it genuinely good before sharing, and 2.0 finally feels like that. It's a solo indie project, so I'd love your feedback and your weirdest edge-case links (and any tracker that slips through 👀).
Quiet, fast, on your side. 🌿
I've been using Unfurl for a couple weeks and I simply love it. The fact that everything runs locally with zero telemetry is a huge win. The menu bar integration makes link cleaning completely effortless, and the Safari extension approach is a clever solution to a problem most people don't realize exists. Thoughtful, privacy-first software done right.
I tested it, and it’s much nicer to share a short Amazon link with someone, where they can clearly see the real purpose of the link instead of a bunch of random stuff in the URL.
Honestly? This product isn't for me. I’m the developer’s partner, a veterinarian, and obviously, I don’t know much about tracking parameters. But I can say that Unfurl does exactly what it promises without getting in the way of my daily routine; after all, I always forget it’s even there - which, as I understand it, is the entire point. Proud of you. ❤️
Loved this. I never realized how much extra stuff was attached to links until I started paying attention. This is definitely going to make my everyday browsing and sharing a lot cleaner and safer.
