Clean My Links enables the removal of tracking and unnecessary cruft from web URLs before Hookmark copies or hooks them.
What This Does
When enabled, any link you copy or hook with Hookmark is automatically cleaned and reduced to a canonical form.
The destination is unchanged—only unnecessary or tracking-related URL components are removed.
This helps to:
- protect your privacy,
- keep links short, readable, and Mac-clean, and
- ensure Hookmark consistently recognizes the same resource as the same link.
What This Is Not
Clean My Links is not a link shortener.
It does not change the domain, add redirects, or use third-party services.
Clean My Links Settings tab
When adding a new rule, you can test it by pasting in a source URL in the Source URL field and hitting the “test” button. The result will appear in the Clean URL field.
Rules
Hookmark uses built-in rules to clean URLs conservatively and safely.
The built-in rules are not directly visible to users.
Pro users, however, can view and manage the custom rules they’ve added.
If a URL cannot be cleaned safely, it is left unchanged.
Updates
If you have a valid Updates license and updates are enabled, Hookmark periodically checks for updated cleaning rules using the same secure mechanism as integration updates.
