Twitter/X → LiveContainer (iOS)

Redirect any Twitter/X HTTPS link to the LiveContainer app on iOS so it opens in your containerized X/Twitter. No tracking, no external requests—just smart link handling.

Author: @sharmanhall

What it does

  • Auto-redirects when you’re browsing x.com or twitter.com in Safari to LiveContainer.
  • Rewrites Twitter/X links on any site so tapping them opens X/Twitter inside LiveContainer.
  • Honors data-expanded-url on anchors (useful when a link is shown as t.co but expands to an X/Twitter URL).
  • Uses the LC scheme:
    livecontainer://open-web-page?url=BASE64(https://…twitter/x link…)
  • Adds a tiny lc=1 guard to avoid bounce loops.
  • Catches dynamically inserted links (MutationObserver) and uses a global capture fallback for delegated clicks.
  • iOS-only safeguard (won’t trigger on desktop).
  • Runs at document-start for quicker, more reliable redirects.

Requirements

  • iPhone/iPad with Safari.
  • LiveContainer installed.
  • Twitter/X installed inside LiveContainer.
  • A userscript manager on iOS:
    • Tampermonkey for Safari, or
    • The free Userscripts app.

How to use

  1. Install/enable this userscript.
  2. Make sure Twitter/X is installed in LiveContainer.
  3. Visit any x.com / twitter.com page or tap an X/Twitter link anywhere.
    → Safari hands it to LiveContainer, which opens X/Twitter in the container.

Options (edit at top of script)

  • VERBOSE – console logging.
  • AUTO_REDIRECT_ON_TWITTER_PAGES – bounce automatically when already on x.com/twitter.com.
  • REWRITE_LINKS_ON_ALL_PAGES – intercept Twitter/X links anywhere.
  • ADD_LC_FLAG – append lc=1 to prevent back/forward loops.

Privacy

  • No analytics, no remote calls.
  • Operates entirely on-device by intercepting clicks and changing navigation.

Known limitations / notes

  • This script targets HTTPS Twitter/X links. It does not chase arbitrary t.co shortlinks off-domain.
    However, if a page exposes an expanded URL via data-expanded-url that points to X/Twitter, the script will use it.
  • If nothing happens when tapping a link, confirm:
    • LiveContainer is installed and opens via livecontainer:// URLs.
    • X/Twitter is present inside LiveContainer and can handle https://twitter.com / https://x.com links via “Open in App”.

Uninstall / disable

  • Turn off the script in your userscript manager.
  • Or set AUTO_REDIRECT_ON_TWITTER_PAGES = false to keep browsing the website but still rewrite links elsewhere.

Changelog

  • v0.5 – @run-at document-start, @noframes, double-hook guard, global click fallback, safer Base64, data-expanded-url support.
  • v0.4 – First public release: auto-redirect, link rewriting, loop guard, dynamic link handling, iOS check.
