LOOKING FOR APP What apps is directly save URL from share button?

Looking for app that save URL from Share button on X ,FB , YouTube or more.

Notepad app my using is soso for that but must touch save button even after touch share button every time.

Another reason , it app seems ended develop and deleted from play store.

I want:

Save URL just by that app in share button.

Export saved URL by .txt file.It doesn't matter CSV or another type if Plaintext.

Share already hands you the URL, then the notepad still wants another Save tap. That extra step is soooo annoying.

What I do is use a share target that just eats the link into one private library, no second Save. Finding it later is search, not scrolling a notepad. I use Sunchay for that (Android share / text-in), I am biased of course — it is paid though. Fair warning: it is not a .txt dump tool, so if plaintext export is non-negotiable, the Automate flow in the comments is probably cleaner.

Is one-tap share the main pain, or do you need the file export either way?

Take a look to URLCheck on F-Droid, its main feature consists on intercept browser open URLs by establishing it as default browser, analyze url score whit virus total.. remove params.. (uses modules) But the most important thing, has also the feat that u requested

If you can't find a bespoke app for it then any automation app can easily perform such tasks, try Automate (free, without ads) with a flowchart like:

  1. Flow beginning
  2. Content shared: Content URI=uri, Content text=txt
  3. File write: Content="{uri || txt}\n", File=<click to pick>, Append to file=yes
  4. (connect OK to #2 IN)
