Burly

Features

Small app. Exactly the right link, every time.

Burly sits quietly in your menu bar and steps in only when a link needs a home. Here's everything it does.

01

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.

Burly's Browsers settings pane: a reorderable list of browser profiles, each with a checkbox, a custom-key field, an emoji, and a color swatch.
02

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.

Burly's radial picker: a link surrounded by browser-profile destinations (Chrome, Firefox, and Safari work and personal profiles), each on its own keyboard shortcut.
03

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.

The Burly picker fully expanded around a link, with more than a dozen browser-profile petals from Chrome, Brave, Edge, Vivaldi, Firefox, and Safari.
04

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.

Burly's Bypass settings pane: a modifier-key picker, an invert toggle, and two cards showing that a click opens the picker while Option-click opens the last-used destination.
05

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.

Burly's picker centered on the last-used profile (Work), labeled Last Used, ringed by other profiles each on its own letter or number key.
06

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.

Burly's menu bar dropdown with an Open New Tab in submenu, listing every browser profile with each one's global hotkey shown alongside.
Burly's Global Hotkeys settings pane: an enable toggle, a Hyper prefix picker, and a list of profiles each paired with its system-wide shortcut.
07

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.

Burly's System settings pane: toggles for launch at login and showing the menu bar icon, plus a card confirming Burly is the default web browser.
08

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.

Burly's Accessibility settings pane: a reduce-animations toggle that makes the picker appear fully expanded instead of animating open.
