Questions
What gets sent?
Just what the app shares: the tool name and its link. We pull out the item number and throw the rest away. Nothing is saved, and no account is needed.
Does it work on Android?
Not this Shortcut. On Android, share the link to your browser and use Is This A Good Price?
Is this made by Harbor Freight?
No. HF Tracker is independent and not affiliated with Harbor Freight.
