Profiley
On a Mac, links from Slack, WhatsApp, Claude and other apps open in whichever browser profile is in front, not the one they belong to. Profiley becomes your default browser and sends each link to the right profile: sites you've saved open straight in theirs, and anything else asks you.
- A link from another app shows your profiles, with the same avatars as your browser. Click one or press 1, 2, 3.
- Tick "Always open this site this way" and that site skips the popup from then on. A saved site covers its subdomains too, so
example.com also catches app.example.com. Leave it unticked for sites you use in several profiles, like github.com.
- Hold Shift (or Option) while clicking a link to get the popup anyway, to pick a different profile or press Forget on a saved site.
- Open Profiley from Spotlight (or press "Saved sites…" in the popup) to see every saved site, change which profile it opens in, remove it, or add one by hand.
Works with Comet, Google Chrome, Brave, Microsoft Edge and Vivaldi.
Install
Needs macOS 12 or later.
- Download Profiley.zip, unzip it and drag Profiley into Applications.
- Open it. macOS will say it can't check it for malware, because the app isn't notarized by Apple yet. Go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down and press "Open Anyway".
- The Saved sites window opens; press "Make default browser" and confirm.
It uses the browser that was your default when you first opened it, with that browser's profiles. If your default was Safari, Firefox or Arc, it uses the first supported browser installed. To switch: defaults write com.kamalkhatwani.profiley browser "Google Chrome" (or "Comet", "Brave Browser", "Microsoft Edge", "Vivaldi"), then open Profiley again.
