Hey Product Hunt, I’m Lilou, the maker of NiceLinks. 👋

You get a link in a DM. It’s short, it’s opaque, and you have no idea where it goes.

I built NiceLinks to make that destination easier to inspect. It’s a native iPhone and iPad app that traces redirects and shows the final destination domain, HTTP status codes, and URL structure findings—before you decide whether to open the link yourself.

A few things to try:

• Expand a short link and follow its redirect chain.

• Revisit previous checks in your private, on-device history.

• Preview a stamp-style report card.

• With Pro, check up to 20 unique URLs in a batch and export cards without watermarks.

NiceLinks is a URL inspection tool, not an antivirus or a safety guarantee. A scan makes requests to the entered site and its redirect destinations, without executing webpage JavaScript. Scan history stays on your device.

Website names are labeled by their source, so a site’s self-declared name isn’t presented as an independently verified identity.

You get 3 free single-URL scans to try it. Pro is an optional monthly or annual auto-renewable subscription, with prices shown in your local App Store currency. No NiceLinks account is required.

When you inspect an unfamiliar link, what helps you most: the final destination, the redirect route, or the source of the website’s name? I’d love to hear what you’d want to see next.

Thanks for trying NiceLinks!
