Show HN: PasteClean – Desktop app to strip tracking parameters from clipboard

https://iixotic.github.io/PasteClean/website/
20•Iblockedthem•1mo ago
I built a small desktop tool called PasteClean to solve a personal annoyance: sharing URLs filled with tracking garbage (utm_source, fbclid, etc.).

It runs in the background and automatically cleans URLs in your clipboard when you copy them. It handles 50+ tracking parameters and can also unshorten links (bit.ly, t.co) to reveal the destination and clean them before pasting.

Tech stack is Electron/React/TypeScript.

The core privacy features are free. I added a "Pro" lifetime license for some advanced features (unshortening, batch mode) to support development.

Obvious vibe coded slop.

Also includes a nice fake readme on github that says it's open source (it's not) with "instructions" to build it locally with npm (they don't work). https://archive.is/rzwK1

TylerE•1mo ago
Seconded.
techjamie•1mo ago
Not sure how much you checked in detail, but to add on, I downloaded it and unpacked the app to check out the source. Would say it definitely looks like AI written code. I partially wonder if Gemini generated it, because it seemingly imports `@google/genai` as a dependency and does nothing with it, and that kinda seems like a Gemini thing to do.
drshajul•1mo ago
Absolutely right.. this is closed source. Don't know why there is the 'Development' section.
fragmede•1mo ago
kinda related, on iOS there's https://routinehub.co/shortcut/16554/ for this.
stephenr•1mo ago
Presumably this also works on macOS.
AnonHP•1mo ago
Sadly, this site requires a login or registration with an email just to get the shortcut. I guess I may be able to find a similar one that’s just shared by someone on their iCloud storage.
fragmede•1mo ago
Oh that sucks. Wasn't trying to shill for that site. I've got this one but I can't remember where I got it from and it doesn't work for youtube links. There's probably a better one out there if you look around.

My hobby is writing iOS Shortcuts while in the restroom and my url cleaner shortcut is my most often used one.

Side note : Shortcuts.app is iOS best feature hands down

Brajeshwar•1mo ago
How do you deal with the permissions on using Shortcut?

With the new macOS Spotlight improvement and the window management getting better, I thought I will get rid of Rectangle Pro (I use only that custom window resizing) and tried a window Resizer Shortcut. I’ve tried giving it as much freedom as I can but it keeps bumping into more and more gates.

Btw, I think I jumped too early on that Spotlight thing. I remember, I got back to Alfred last week.

tonymet•1mo ago
in my experience i get prompted on first launch but then it runs well afterward. can you tell me the permissions prompt it's asking for? i'll see if I can reproduce and help with insights.

On Android, I've been using Leon - The URL Cleaner. GPL3 is restrictive but fine here for me. It is a nice Share Target app, so integrates well with Android. And it has an option to copy the URL to the clipboard automatically after cleaned, which is what I want. https://github.com/leon-cleaning-services/leon

I'd love to use a webapp/PWA that has Share Target support, just because. Not sure what is out there.

Firefox's right-click menu has "Copy Link Without Site Tracking"

uBlock Origin can remove them before loading a URL, some examples (they go in My Filters)

    *$removeparam=/^utm_/
    *$removeparam=fbclid
    *$removeparam=si
