Terms of Service
Last updated:
1. License Grant
AltSea is proprietary software licensed under a standard End User License Agreement (EULA).
Core Features
The following core features are currently available without requiring an account:
- “Remind Me Later”: Schedule links to open at a later time
- Link Cleanup: Remove tracking parameters, auto-promote to HTTPS, etc
- Link History: Keep a history of your cleaned links
- Save Links: Save links for future reference
Core link-handling features work locally on-device and do not require an account. However, some app functions, such as update checks and other optional network-enabled features, may still contact network services.
Local-First Design
AltSea’s core link-processing features are designed to work locally on your device. Optional features, including account, backup/sync, premium, feedback, and other cloud-backed features, may require network access, a login, a subscription, or separate in-app terms or disclosures.
Additional Features
Some optional features and cloud services may require a subscription, an account, or acceptance of additional terms presented within the app. These features will be identified in the app where applicable.

Important Disclaimer: AltSea does not guarantee perfect cleaning of all tracking parameters or complete protection against malicious links. Users are responsible for verifying the safety of links before opening them.
