A macOS System Preferences pane for viewing and changing default application associations for URI schemes and file types (UTIs). It is a modern Swift replacement for the abandoned RCDefaultApps prefpane.
Use cases
- change the default browser for http links on mac
- set which app opens pdf files in macos
- assign a handler for a custom uri scheme
- make links do nothing instead of opening an app
- view all registered applications for a file type
- reset default application associations after an app hijacked them
When to choose
- you need fine-grained control over default handlers for URI schemes and UTIs on macOS
- you used RCDefaultApps and it broke on modern macOS versions
- you want a 'Do Nothing' dummy handler for unwanted protocols
When to avoid
- you need to manage default apps on Linux or Windows
- you want a scriptable CLI-only solution without a GUI
- you are on a locked-down managed Mac where installing prefpanes is restricted
