macOS 14+ Sonoma

One URL in,
the right browser out

Browseway sits in your menu bar and silently routes every link to the right browser — based on which app sent it and where it points.

How it works

Like a prism for your links

A single URL enters Browseway. Rules match the source app and URL pattern. The right browser opens — instantly, silently.

Features

Everything you need,
nothing you don't

Set your rules once. Browseway handles the rest — quietly, from your menu bar.

Source App Rules

Links from Slack open in Chrome. Links from Mail open in Safari. Each app gets its own browser — automatically.

Per-App

URL Pattern Matching

Route github.com to one browser, google.com to another. Bare domains, wildcards, and substring matching.

Wildcards

URL Cleaning

Strips utm_*, fbclid, gclid and other tracking junk. Expands bit.ly and t.co short links before routing.

Privacy

Auto Updates

Built-in Sparkle updater checks for new versions automatically. Always stay current, zero effort.

Sparkle

Modifier Key Override

Hold Option while clicking any link to bypass all rules and open in your chosen override browser.

⌥ Option
