About

url.computer is a developer tool for parsing, editing, and working with URLs. It pairs with a cURL query builder. The entire app runs locally in the browser.

It's meant as a lightweight developer tool for quick URL parsing and querying, particularly in local development and debugging.

State is saved to the URL hash, allowing you to easily share the URLs you are working with. You can also save state to local storage (on your device-specific browser).

You can import plaintext URLs into the URL parser directly, for example https://url.computer/https://google.com/search?q=Google+in+1998

You can also use the /clean endpoint to clean up URLs and remove all query parameters that might be used for link tracking, for example https://url.computer/clean/https://sketchy.com/coolThing?tracking_id=asdf&utm_source=google
