Choosy for Mac

Smart routing for web links

Choosy is a no-cost macOS utility that gives you precise control over which browser opens a given link. Instead of always launching the system default, you can direct links to the browser you prefer for a particular task, improving workflow and reducing friction when switching contexts.

Core capabilities

• Fast browser switching on the fly so you can open links in the most appropriate app without changing system defaults.
• Rule-based routing that sends specific types of links (by domain, URL pattern, or source app) to chosen browsers automatically.
• A simple, user-friendly setup that makes creating and editing routing rules quick and intuitive.
• Better organization and productivity by keeping work-related and personal browsing separated according to your preferences.
• Full control over link handling so every click behaves the way you expect.

Who will find it useful

Anyone who regularly uses multiple browsers — for testing, privacy, or workflow separation — will benefit. Choosy is especially handy for professionals who want certain links to open in a work browser while keeping personal links in another, but it’s equally practical for everyday users who want more predictable link behavior.

Recommended free alternative

• NameChanger (free) — a lightweight option that also facilitates rapid switching between browsers, useful if you need a simpler tool for managing where links open.
