Clean Room
Read X posts without the login wall.
Paste an X post link below and get back a clean address anyone can open. No login, no app nag, no trackers. You get the post and nothing else.
That does not look like an X post link. It needs the /status/ part with the post number.
On iPhone
Add the shortcut once. Then share any post and it copies a clean link to your clipboard, with no network call at all.
The whole flow, once
- Tap Add the iOS Shortcut above, then Add Shortcut when the Shortcuts app opens. You do this once.
- On any X post, open the share sheet and tap Clean Link.
- The clean link is on your clipboard. Paste it anywhere.
On desktop
Drag this to your bookmarks bar. Click it on any X post to copy the clean link and open it.
Clicking it here does nothing useful. Drag it up to your bookmarks bar, then use it on an X post.
Browsers give bookmarklets a blank icon and there is no fixing that from this end. If you want the Clean Room icon on yours, bookmark this page first, then edit that bookmark and paste the bookmarklet's link address over the URL. Chrome and Firefox keep the icon.
The link
Every clean link is just clean.corbet.app/x/ and the post id. Nothing else to configure.
What this does not do. No analytics, no cookies, no logs beyond Cloudflare's defaults. Embeds are requested with Do Not Track on. This is the whole point of the service, not a setting.
Clean Room uses X's own public oEmbed API and nothing else. It shows only public posts. Protected and deleted posts will not load.
