Quick answer
Removes tracking & other redundant parameters from web links for sharing
F-Droid repository metadata
Léon - The URL Cleaner removes tracking and other obsolete parameters from a URL before sharing. Its usage is simple, integrating into Android's standard sharing mechanism.
Léon runs on Android 5.0 and later, is open source and does not contain any tracking or advertising frameworks. Léon does not collect any data about you. Léon works offline; resolving short links is optional, off by default and only ever contacts the service that created the short link.
The benefits of removing tracking parameters are:
* Protects your and the recipient's privacy * Improves readability of links * Saves characters (in Tweets for example)

- Download the APK from the button at the top of this page.
- Allow “Install unknown apps” for your browser or file manager only, not for every app.
- Open the downloaded file and confirm the installation.
- If installation fails with “App not installed,” remove an earlier build of the same app first. A signature conflict is the usual cause.
