Native macOS utility

Links know the way.Now your Mac does too.

LinkFork sends every link to the browser, and the exact profile, where it belongs. No scripts. No picker fatigue. Just click.

The small interruption, all day long

You clicked the right link. Your Mac opened the wrong life.

A client tab lands in your personal profile. A private search opens beside a work call. The operating system sees one default browser; your day has many contexts.

LinkFork sits in that missing layer.

One click. Three quiet decisions.

A route you can understand at a glance.

slack://clickedChrome · Work

01 · ListenThe link arrives

LinkFork catches the system link before a browser claims it.

02 · MatchThe rule resolves

Domain, browser and profile are matched in order. The first clear rule wins.

03 · OpenThe right space appears

Chrome opens Work, not whichever window happened to be in front.

The product, not a promise

Precise enough for power users. Calm enough for everyone else.

The interface removes the configuration work that made link routing feel like a developer-only habit.

Write intentions, not JavaScript.

Choose a site, browser and profile in a native settings window. Rules save as readable JSON and take effect immediately.

Fix the site you are already on.

Read the current tab and add, repair or remove its rule without leaving the browser.

Profiles by name. Automatically.

Chrome, Edge, Brave, Vivaldi and Chromium profiles appear by their real display names. No directory archaeology required.

Work stays work. Life stays life.

Tag any rule with a context, then flip it from the menu bar. The same link opens your work profile on the clock, your personal one after — no rule to touch.

Native

A small Swift app that stays out of the Dock and out of your way.

Transparent

Plain JSON rules and local logs you can inspect.

Precise

Route to Chrome and Edge profiles by the name you recognize.

Repairable

See what matched, then fix a rule from the page you are on.

Platforms

Native where it matters. Consistent where it counts.

LinkFork is available for macOS first. A shared routing specification is being prepared so future Windows and Linux apps can feel native without drifting in behavior. There is no download link on this page yet — a self-signed, publicly downloadable macOS build is in preparation.

The transparency promise

Your browsing context stays yours.

No account. No telemetry. No remote rule engine. LinkFork reads only what it needs to route a link, and keeps its decisions on your Mac.

Useful details

Before the fork in the road.

Does LinkFork replace my browser?: No. It becomes the system link handler, then immediately hands each URL to the browser and profile you chose.
Why does it ask to read browser tabs?: Only the menu-bar shortcut uses Automation permission to read the current tab URL, so it can add or repair that site’s rule. The URL stays local.
Can it route clicks made inside a browser?: Browsers normally keep their own clicks instead of sending them through macOS. A future browser extension can bridge that system limitation.
Where can I get it?: LinkFork isn't in an app store. A self-signed build for public download is in preparation, and this page will link to it once it ships.
