    A macOS app for creating rules that decide which browser is opened for every link that would open the default browser. Open Facebook in one browser, and Trello in another. Or Spotify links in the Spotify client. Or whatever URL in whatever app!.

    Teeny tiny app to select which browser to use each time a link is launched. I want this app to have as small of a footprint as possible, I don't want it to run in the background and I want it to have little to no setup required.
