OpenIn

Open links in select browsers

OpenIn lets you choose which browsers and apps open links, emails, and files on your Mac. It suits you if you regularly switch between several browsers or apps.

What you get

You get links and files opening in the apps you choose.

OpenIn gives you control over where a click takes you. Instead of sending every web link to one default browser, you can choose from a browser picker or set rules for particular domains. You can also send Zoom links straight to Zoom, reducing the need to move links between apps yourself.

When you click an email address, you can choose from a shortlist of mail apps or browser-based options such as Gmail. You decide which choices appear and put your preferred ones first, so you don't have to sift through options you never use.

You get similar control over files: choose which apps appear for particular file extensions and reorder them to suit your work. You can even have a chosen app open a file's parent folder rather than the file itself. Keyboard selection helps you make those choices without reaching for the mouse.

  • Use the right browser

    You can route specific domains to a chosen browser or pick a browser when you click a link.

  • Choose where emails start

    You can open email links in your preferred mail app or Gmail, with your usual choices listed first.

  • Open files your way

    You can choose different app lists for different file extensions instead of relying on one default.

  • Go straight to Zoom

    You can have Zoom links open directly in Zoom rather than sending them through a browser.

Best for

  • You regularly switch between browsers
  • You use multiple email apps or Gmail
  • You open the same file types in different apps

Skip it if

You don't need it if one default browser, mail app, and app per file type already suit your workflow.
