#LibRedirect Mobile

An Android app that reroutes links from large online services to privacy-friendly frontends — before they ever reach your browser.

#What is it?

You tap a YouTube link someone sent you. Normally that opens YouTube, with everything that comes with it: ads, tracking, and your viewing habits tied to an account. LibRedirect Mobile steps in at the moment the link opens and rewrites it to a privacy-friendly alternative — for example an Invidious instance for YouTube or a Redlib instance for Reddit — and then hands the rewritten link to the browser you choose.

It works the same way for many popular services, and it does all of this on your device. No account, no backend server, no analytics. If a link can't be routed, it simply opens normally — nothing breaks.

#What can it do?

• Redirect popular services like YouTube, Reddit, and X/Twitter to community-run, privacy-friendly frontends.
• Strip tracking parameters (utm_*, click IDs, and similar) from links before they open — even for links it doesn't redirect.
• Unwrap redirect wrappers like google.com/url?q=… and AMP pages offline, so you land on the real destination.
• Open links your way: in your favorite external browser, or in the built-in multi-tab browser that ships with the app.
• The built-in browser blocks known tracker and ad hosts, offers a clean reader mode, picture-in-picture video, bookmarks, and a private start page.
• Fine-grained control: enable or disable each service individually, pick which frontend and instance to use, add exceptions for certain sites or apps, and pause the whole thing for a while from a Quick Settings tile.
• A "Why?" screen that shows, for any link you paste, exactly which rule matched and what the app will do with it.

#Who is it for?

For anyone who wants big-platform links to open in lighter, ad-free, tracker-free frontends without giving up their usual browser and apps. The app's interface is available in English and Turkish, updates arrive as simple APK downloads from GitHub Releases, and settings can be backed up to a single file. It is released into the public domain (Unlicense).
