#UntrackMe 2.0 will be available soon.

Fully rebuilt with a new approach: the app now registers as a browser on Android 12+. Every link you tap goes through UntrackMe first, gets cleaned of tracking params, redirected to a privacy-friendly frontend if relevant, then handed off to the browser or app of your choice.

It also follows redirect chains to bypass tracking shorteners and unwrap any wrappers such as Google redirects.

Home with Material Design 3 toggles for each redirect (YouTube, Reddit, Medium, Wikipedia, Maps), instance picker expanded on Invidious.
Diagnostic screen showing UntrackMe correctly intercepts links for YouTube, Twitter/X, Reddit, Medium and Wikipedia.
YouTube link received in a messaging app, intercepted by UntrackMe and rewritten to invidious link, ready to be opened in another app with a "Remember my choice" option.
URL history showing a youtu.be link redirected to invidious.nerdvpn.de, with timestamp and final destination.

Oh I thought f-droid wasn't following the latest version, but turns out there is no new build despite code updates like the x.com fix.

I have been using this for a while and registering as a browser will be very useful!

Ah, I think I get it! If you didn't install it through the custom repository, you will get the update normally from F-Droid. No worries :)

You will still be able to define your custom instances but the app will always have an up-to-date list of alternative frontends that you can pick from. You will also be able to test latencies to pick the best one for you.
Instance picker showing Scribe and Wikiless alternatives with live latency measurements and a warning icon flagging instances behind Cloudflare. A custom instance field also allows you to enter the domain of an alternative frontend not listed by the app.
