Why you'll love it
Smart Routing
Define exactly where your links go. Route by URL pattern, source app, or modifier keys. Work links to Work Chrome, personal to Safari.
Multi-Profile
Stop juggling windows. Auto-detects profiles for Chrome, Edge, Brave, Vivaldi, and Arc. Each profile is a dedicated target.
Privacy First
Clean links automatically. Strips tracking parameters like utm_source,
fbclid, and gclid before they hit your browser.
Easy & Beautiful UI
Choose with style. When a rule doesn't match, a beautiful selection menu appears. Choose between Row layout or Radial menu.
Native Speed
Built natively with Swift 6 (macOS) and .NET 9 (Windows). Starts instantly, uses minimal memory, and feels right at home.
Tiny Footprint
Less than 5MB. No bloat, no unnecessary dependencies—just pure performance.
URL Expansion
Know before you go. Automatically expands short URLs (bit.ly, t.co) so you can see the destination and route accurately.
Rule Engine
Logic that works for you. Use "contains", "regex", or "ends with". Top-down evaluation ensures specific rules win.
Dev Friendly
Automate your browsing. Use our custom URL scheme API (x-browser-chooser://) to
trigger specific browsers from scripts.
