Linkahest cleans shared links before they leave your phone. Send YouTube, Twitter/X, Reddit, Medium, and other URLs through it to strip trackers or open them through alternative frontends.
Link transformation runs locally and history stays off unless you turn it on. Network access is used only when you explicitly check alternative-frontend availability in Settings.
Since v0.6.0, Linkahest requests Internet permission so you can manually check whether transformation targets are available. You can deny this permission without affecting link cleaning or transformation; only the optional availability checks require it.

Add the GitHub releases page to Obtainium, or download the APK manually.
Pull requests and pushes to main run unit tests, lint, and a debug build. Pushing a tag that matches the app version, such as v0.6.0, builds signed APK and AAB artifacts and publishes a release.
The release workflow requires these GitHub Actions secrets:
SIGNING_KEYSTORE_BASE64SIGNING_STORE_PASSWORDSIGNING_KEY_ALIASSIGNING_KEY_PASSWORD
The workflow verifies the signing certificate used by existing releases before publishing, preventing an incompatible update from being released accidentally.
