It intercepts all URL clicks and routes them based on rules you define:\n- Send `localhost:*` to Chrome with your DevTools profile\n- Route `github.com` to your work browser\n- Open `*.slack.com` in a specific browser/profile\n- Everything else goes to your favorite AI browser\n\n**Visual feedback:** When a URL is redirected, the menu bar icon briefly shows the destination browser's icon - so you always know where it went.\n\n## Download\n\n**[Download Browser Router v1.0.0](https://github.com/doublej/browser-router/releases/latest/download/Browser-Router-v1.0.0.zip)** (macOS 13+)\n\nOr see all releases on the [Releases page](https://github.com/doublej/browser-router/releases).\n\n## Features\n\n- **Rule-based routing** — Send URLs to specific browsers based on domain, pattern, wildcard, or regex\n- **Profile support** — Route to specific browser profiles (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave, Vivaldi)\n- **Priority ordering** — First matching rule wins\n- **Notifications** — Optional banner, sound, and menu bar icon flash on routing\n- **Recent history** — Track recently routed URLs in the menu bar\n\n### Screenshots\n\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg src=\"browsers.png\" width=\"500\" alt=\"Browsers tab showing detected browsers\"\u003e\n  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eBrowsers tab - Auto-detects installed browsers and set default route\u003c/em\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg src=\"rule.png\" width=\"500\" alt=\"Rule editor interface\"\u003e\n  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eRule editor - Configure match type, pattern, browser and profile\u003c/em\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\n### Setup\n\n1. Launch Browser Router from Applications\n2. Click the menu bar icon → \"Set as Default Browser\"\n3. Confirm in the system dialog\n4. Add routing rules in Preferences (⌘,)\n\n## Usage\n\n### Creating Rules\n\n| Match Type | Example | Matches |\n|------------|---------|---------|\n| Domain | `github.com` | Exact domain match |\n| Contains | `docs` | URL contains string |\n| Wildcard | `*.google.*` | Glob-style pattern |\n| Regex | `jira\\|confluence` | Regular expression |\n\nRules are evaluated in priority order. First match wins. URLs without a matching rule go to your system default browser.\n\n### Browser Profiles\n\nFor Chromium-based browsers and Firefox, you can route to specific profiles. Browser Router auto-detects available profiles.\n\n## Tech Stack\n\n- Swift 6.2 / SwiftPM (no Xcode project)\n- SwiftUI + AppKit hybrid\n- macOS 26 Liquid Glass UI\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdoublej%2Fbrowser-router","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fdoublej%2Fbrowser-router","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdoublej%2Fbrowser-router/lists"}
