URL Expander

🌐 URL Extender — Shortcut Unmask short links instantly. URL Extender takes any shortened URL (like bit.ly, tinyurl.com, or t.co) and expands it to show the original destination — all in one tap, right from your clipboard. No more guessing where a link leads. Stay safe, informed, and in control before you click. ⸻ ✨ Features • 🔎 Instant expansion: copy any short link, run the shortcut, and get the full URL in seconds. • 🧠 Smart detection: automatically recognizes shortened links from popular services. • 📋 Auto-copy: expanded link is placed back in your clipboard for easy sharing. • 🔒 Privacy first: no tracking — only the link you provide is processed. • 🚫 Safety check: see where links really go before visiting them. • 🛠️ Customizable: choose whether to show a notification, alert, or open the original link immediately. ⸻ 🧭 How It Works 1. Copy a shortened URL (like bit.ly/example). 2. Run URL Extender from Shortcuts, Siri, or the Share Sheet. 3. The shortcut expands the URL, copies it to your clipboard, and optionally displays it on screen. ⸻ 💡 Supported Devices & OS • iPhone — requires iOS 12 or later • iPad — requires iPadOS 12 or later • iPod touch — requires iOS 12 or later • Mac — requires macOS Monterey (12.0) or later • Apple Watch — limited functionality (requires watchOS 7 or later; expansion may be unavailable if network actions aren’t supported) Works with the built-in Shortcuts app, available on all modern Apple devices. ⸻ ⚠️ Notes • Expanding certain privacy-protected or temporary URLs might return a redirect notice instead of the full destination. • The shortcut uses native web requests and does not store or share any personal data.
