Finicky is a macOS application that acts as your default browser and routes each URL to the browser you choose based on configurable rules. Rules are written in JavaScript or TypeScript and can also rewrite URLs before opening them, such as forcing HTTPS or stripping tracking parameters.
Use cases
- open work links in one browser and personal links in another
- route zoom or meet meeting links to a specific browser
- strip tracking parameters from urls before opening them
- redirect certain domains to a different browser automatically
- set up rules for which browser opens each url on mac
- rewrite urls like forcing https before opening
When to avoid
- you are on Windows or Linux
- you only use a single browser
- you prefer a pure GUI configuration without writing JavaScript
