Hookmark 7 (6490) BETA ready for testing, introducing Clean My Links

Here we are near dinner time on Friday, 2026-01-09, and we’re happy to announce that Hookmark Version 7.0 BETA (6490; Integration v. 403) is now available for testing.. This new release introduces the Clean My Links feature! When enabled (which it is by default) when you copy or hook a link, Hookmark will first try to clean the link, removing URL cruft such as tracking parameters. There’s a new Clean My Links tab in Hookmark’s Settings window. On that tab, Hookmark Pro users can add their own

Clean My Links is free! You don't need a paid Hookmark license to clean web links that you copy with Hookmark. Just invoke Hookmark on any web page, regardless of your browser, and do `Copy Link` ⌘C to copy a clean link to that page. This removes URL cruft/tracking parameters. Makes your links more shareable with others. https://hookproductivity.com/benefits/copy-clean-links

Benefits of Clean My Links™

Clean links. Better privacy. Durable knowledge connections. The web is full of links—but far too many of them are cluttered with tracking cruft, marketing parameters, and unnecessary complexity. These bloated URLs don’t just look ugly. They undermine privacy, fragment your links, and get in the way

Hookmark aims to meet all your linking needs. It is like a Swiss Army knife for linking https://discourse.hookproductivity.com/t/we-aim-to-meet-all-your-linking-needs/9600

We aim to meet all your linking needs

We aim to meet all your linking needs

We design Hookmark to meet all your linking needs, meaning we aim to cover all major and edge cases. Hookmark can be thought of as a “Swiss Army knife” for linking. Some random examples Copy As Universal Link and its variants enable you to create links that can be pasted in web apps that do not like custom links (Notion, Google Docs, Discourse forums such a this one, etc.) Copy Link for Apple Mail copies links that you can paste in Apple Mail without losing the title of the link.

Hookmark 7.0 (6510; Integration v. 404) Beta 2 is now available. In addition to the Clean My Links featured in the first beta, this new beta includes a new Hook to New PDF command. It is similar to Hook to New instead, when invoked in a web browser, this command creates a new PDF of the current web page (retrieved from the server, not the browser), hooks it and stores it in the default PDFs folder (which you can configure on Hookmark’s Advanced Settings tab). Unlike other PDF generation command

Cognitive Science Helps Us Design Great Software

Our software company is called CogSci Apps for a reason: our software is designed with cognitive science in mind. Following Donald Schön, we recognize that one cannot directly infer engineering (or psychotherapy) from science—but one can design better systems by using science as a guiding resource.

Clean My Links feature of Hookmark: Improve Every Link You Share

https://hookproductivity.com/blog/2026/04/clean-my-links-make-every-link-you-share-better/

* *Clarity* — You (and others) can see what the link actually points to
* *Stability* — Fewer brittle, session-dependent URLs
* *Privacy* — No leaking tracking tokens
* *Cognitive ease* — Less noise, better flow

This aligns with a broader principle: *A good link should include only what’s needed to point to the page—nothing extra. Everything else just gets in the way.*

Clean My Links™: Make Every Link You Share Better

Links are the connective tissue of knowledge work. But most of the links we copy and share today are… a mess. They’re bloated with tracking parameters, session tokens, referral junk, and opaque identifiers—what we might simply call URL cruft. This cruft makes links: harder to read less trustworthy
