## Description

Link Director puts you in control of every link you tap. Instead of always falling back to the same browser, choose the right browser for each link — or copy it, or strip its tracking parameters — all from one lightweight, instant chooser.<br><br>━━━━━━━━━━<br>🔒 <b>Privacy First — No Internet, No Tracking</b><br>Link Director requires <b>no internet permission</b>. URLs are processed in memory only and are never stored, logged, or transmitted to any server. No ads, no analytics or tracking, no data collection. Every setting stays on your device and never leaves it.<br><br>━━━━━━━━━━<br>💰 <b>Completely Free — No Ads, No In-App Purchases</b><br>Every feature is available at <b>no cost</b>. No paywalls, no in-app purchases, no subscriptions, and no advertisements — ever.<br><br>━━━━━━━━━━<br>✨ <b>Core Features</b><br>▸ 🌐 Browser Chooser — When you tap a link, pick which installed browser opens it<br>▸ 📋 Copy Link — Copy any link to the clipboard instead of opening it<br>▸ ✏️ Edit Link — Optionally add an in-chooser editor to tweak a link before you open or copy it, with one-tap restore to the original or filtered version<br>▸ ⚡ Direct Open — Skip the dialog and always use a preset action (a chosen browser or copy)<br>▸ 🧹 URL Filter — Remove tracking parameters (utm_source, fbclid, and more) before the link opens<br>▸ ↕️ Custom Sort — Arrange your browser list in your preferred order by drag-and-drop<br>▸ 🙈 Hidden Browsers — Hide browsers you never use from the chooser<br>▸ 🔗 Shared Link Support — Handles links shared from other apps, not just links you tap<br>▸ 🎯 Custom Deep Links — Catch links that use an app&#39;s own scheme instead of http, and route them through the chooser too<br><br>━━━━━━━━━━<br>🧹 <b>URL Filter in Detail</b><br>Tracking parameters follow you across the web. Link Director removes them before a link ever opens.<br>▸ Analyze any URL to see all of its query parameters<br>▸ Add, edit, or delete tracking-parameter rules<br>▸ Import and export your rule set via the clipboard<br>▸ Reset to a curated default rule set at any time<br>▸ Clean URL — Paste any link on the main screen to strip its tracking parameters and copy the clean result<br><br>━━━━━━━━━━<br>🎯 <b>Custom Deep Links in Detail</b><br>Some links never use http. They use an app&#39;s own scheme, so Android hands them straight to that app and you get no say. Link Director can catch those too.<br>▸ Every rule starts off — a fresh install intercepts nothing until you turn one on<br>▸ The chooser lists the app that owns the link next to your browsers, so you pick<br>▸ Prefer web addresses — where the provider publishes a matching web address, use that for copying, editing and opening in a browser<br>▸ Test any deep link to see what it becomes, without opening it<br>▸ App Link Settings — jump to the system page where you can stop an app claiming its own web links<br>Direct Open does not apply here; tapping one of these always shows the chooser.<br><br>━━━━━━━━━━<br>🎛️ <b>Flexible Behavior</b><br>Mix and match to fit your workflow:<br>▸ Show the chooser every time, or go straight to Direct Open<br>▸ Combine URL filtering with either mode<br>▸ Switch language between English, Traditional Chinese, or System Default<br><br>━━━━━━━━━━<br>📋 <b>Permissions Explained</b><br>Link Director declares <b>no Android permissions at all</b>.<br>▸ 🌐 Default browser role — Required so Link Director can intercept links and route them to your chosen browser<br>▸ 📦 App visibility — Not a permission. The app asks Android three narrow questions: which apps open web links, which apps own the schemes you turned on, and whether a named app claims one of a fixed list of provider domains. It <b>cannot list the apps you have installed</b>.<br>This app <b>does not request or use</b> internet, location, camera, microphone, or contacts permissions.<br><br>━━━━━━━━━━<br>Note: Link Director must be set as your default browser app to work.
