A personal redirect handler for Reddit links. Point your search engine or browser extension here, and choose how Reddit links open — old.reddit, new Reddit, or the Hydra app on iOS.
A redirect rule sends Reddit URLs to this page with a ?url= parameter. Depending on your settings, it either shows a choice menu or auto-redirects after a countdown. On mobile, it always shows a menu. If you hit back after a redirect, the page detects this and shows all options instead of redirecting again.
Pick your platform. The redirect URL is generated automatically in the tool below.
Adjust the settings, then copy the generated rules. Settings are encoded in the URL — no cookies or accounts needed.
old / new auto-redirect. ask always shows a menu.old or new.| Param | Values | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| to | old new ask | ask | Which Reddit frontend to redirect to. ask skips the countdown and shows all options. |
| delay | 0 – 10 | 5 | Seconds before auto-redirect. 0 redirects instantly. Only applies when to is old or new. |
| url | Reddit URL | — | The link to handle. Supplied by the redirect rule's capture group. If absent, this info page is shown. |
| analytics | on off | on | Whether to send an anonymous page view to the analytics counter. No cookies, no personal data. See disclosure below. |
On iOS and Android, the to and delay settings are ignored — the page always shows a choice menu, since auto-redirecting on mobile tends to fight with the OS. The "Open in Hydra" button uses the hydra://openurl?url= deep link scheme. If Hydra isn't installed, iOS will show an error — custom URL schemes don't have a silent fallback.
When analytics is enabled (the default), redirect page loads send a single anonymous request to a self-hosted Umami instance. This exists solely to count how many times the redirector is used. No analytics code runs when viewing this info page — only on actual redirects.
The request contains only the page's hostname and a hardcoded /redirect path. No Reddit URLs, subreddit names, usernames, or browsing history are sent or stored. The language, screen size, and referrer fields are sent empty. Umami does not use cookies and does not track individual users across sessions. The instance is self-hosted and the data is not shared with any third party.
You can disable analytics entirely by setting the analytics parameter to off in the generator above. This is baked into your redirect rule — when disabled, no request is sent at all.
