Description
Open every link in the right browser — without changing your system default
Open every link in the right browser — without changing your system default. LinkOpener is a fast, native menu-bar picker that puts a tiny popup at your cursor every time you click a link. Pick a browser with one tap or ⌘1–⌘9, and you're gone. No popups in the middle of the screen. No tracking. KEY FEATURES • Native menu-bar app A SwiftUI-built floating picker that anchors to your cursor. No Electron. No background bloat. Single-digit megabytes of memory. • ⌘1–⌘9 keyboard selection Open the picker, hit one key, done. Faster than any mouse-only browser chooser. • Smart rules engine Send github.com to Chrome (work profile), reddit.com to Firefox, your bank's domain to Safari — automatically. Match by host equals, host contains, host suffix, URL contains, or full regex. • Profile-aware launching Routes directly into specific Chrome, Edge, Brave, Vivaldi, Opera, or Firefox profiles. Stop landing in the wrong account. • Tracking-param stripping Strips utm_*, fbclid, gclid, msclkid, mc_cid, and 40+ marketing trackers from every link before it opens. Cleaner URLs, cleaner history. • Short URL expansion (opt-in) Resolves t.co, bit.ly, and other shorteners with a single HEAD request before opening — so you see the real destination first. • Local-only history See every link you've opened, filter it, copy it, or re-open it in a different browser. Stays on your Mac. • Forced-default mode Always want a specific browser? Pin it as the forced default. Rules still apply on top. • Reorderable browser list Drag your most-used browsers to the top. Hide the ones you never reach for. • Launch at login Set it once. LinkOpener lives quietly in your menu bar from then on. PRIVACY-FIRST BY DESIGN LinkOpener is fully sandboxed. No analytics. No telemetry. No account. No network calls except the optional, opt-in HEAD request for short URL expansion. Your link history never leaves your Mac. REQUIREMENTS macOS 14 Sonoma or later. Apple Silicon and Intel.
