FAQ
Why do I need SmartLama? ▼
Platforms like Instagram or TikTok open YouTube links in their internal browser. This prevents viewers from liking, subscribing, or commenting easily. SmartLama routes your links directly into the YouTube app for a seamless experience.
Is SmartLama free? ▼
Yes, completely free. If you find it useful, you can support the project on Ko-fi.
How does it work? ▼
Paste your YouTube link and click "Optimize Link". SmartLama generates a smart redirect that detects mobile devices and sends users directly to the YouTube app. If the app isn't installed, it falls back to the mobile website.
Which platforms are supported? ▼
SmartLama works great on Instagram, TikTok, Threads, Facebook, X (Twitter), WhatsApp, and any other platform where direct app opening is beneficial.
Do I need to install anything? ▼
No. SmartLama is entirely web-based. Want to self-host? Check out the GitHub repository.
