Burly

macOS menu bar app

Click any link. Choose the browser profile where it belongs.

Burly is a tiny macOS menu bar app that becomes your link handler. When you click a link, it lets you pick the exact browser and profile that should open it, instantly, with the keyboard.

Free · Requires macOS 13 or later · No account required

Click a link, choose a profile. Press 0 to reopen your last-used one.

Profiles are the destination

Burly lists every browser profile (Safari Work, Chrome Personal, Chrome Dev) as a first-class choice, not buried in browser settings, and finds them automatically as they change. Make each one yours with an emoji or account photo, a curated petal color, and its own shortcut key, so the picker becomes a board of faces you recognize at a glance.

A picker that blooms under your cursor

Click a link and a radial picker springs open right where you are, the link at its center and every profile one keystroke away. It vanishes the instant you choose.

Works with the browsers you use

Safari, Chrome (and Chrome Canary), Brave, Microsoft Edge, Arc, Vivaldi, Chromium, and the Firefox family. Even Safari profiles are real, targeted destinations.

Click to choose, hold to skip

A bare click opens the picker; hold your modifier to jump straight to your last-used destination. Prefer the reverse? Invert it in one toggle.

Quiet or hands-on, your call

Routing modes let Burly always ask, always reopen your last-used profile, or always take the bypass. Set it once and links just go where you want.

A system-wide hotkey for every profile

Open any profile from anywhere, no link required: a global hotkey, your chosen prefix (Hyper by default) plus the profile's own key, drops you straight into a fresh tab. The same shortcuts live in the menu bar.

Lives quietly in your menu bar

Launch Burly at login and hide the menu bar icon when you want it fully out of sight. It only steps in when a link needs a home.

Reduce motion when you want calm

Prefer things still? Turn on reduce animations and the picker appears fully expanded instead of springing open from the center.
