Dated Link Copier

Copy a dated link to the current page: YouTube videos, Google Play apps, news articles and more.

One click copies a dated reference line for the page you are on: the date, a title when the link doesn't say it, then a clean link. 2025-06-03 Article title https://www.nature.com/articles/ARTICLE_ID 2025-06-03 @Channel - Video title https://youtu.be/VIDEO_ID Android 2023-05-18 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.example.app (2026-10) https://example.com/page Made for notes, bibliographies, file names and to-do lists: you see at once how old a page, a video or an app is. WHICH DATE • Articles and scientific papers: the publication date, from the page's metadata or the date shown on the page. • Social media posts: the date the post was made. • Videos: the upload date, with the channel names and the title; channels: the date they were created. • Apps, games and browser extensions: the first release date, with the platforms they run on. • Code repositories, packages and encyclopedia articles: the date they were created. • A page with no date of its own gets the month you read it, in parentheses. CLEAN LINKS • Short canonical links instead of long shared ones. • Tracking parameters removed; the parameters a page needs are kept. • Readable characters instead of percent codes (École, not %C3%89cole). • A title is added only when the link doesn't already say it. HOW TO USE Click the toolbar icon. It shows ✓ when the line is in your clipboard, ✗ when there is nothing to copy. The icon is colored on pages it can date, grey elsewhere. PRIVACY No account, no tracking, no data collected. The extension reads the current page only when you click its icon. When a page doesn't show its date, it asks a public source for it, sending only the public identifier of the item (see the privacy policy).
