Permit extra steps before URL is opened (including Run Script)
Would it be possible to be able to configure additional steps before (and potentially after) the URL is opened, ideally to include "Run Script"? Like Hazel but for URLs.
The URL could be sent as a parameter to a script and its result optionally used to replace the URL.
This would permit (depending on the script):
- the URL to be rewritten
- a particular Keyboard Maestro macro to be run
- a particular browser window to be opened (all links from Mail open in a single window, say)
- swap to a particular desktop first (and use the version…3 votes -
Support opening new browser via OnClick window.open method.
Lots of web apps don't provide actual links, but instead work using onClick window.open() techniques. These don't seem to trigger Choosy for me.

Rule for 'Fantastical' Mac app not working.
I have several Choosy rules to open links differently based on which application is active. But for the 'Fantastical' 3 app, this rule doesn't trigger. Any ideas?

[bug] Chrome opens a extra new hidden window if Chrome is not already open
If Chrome is not already open, a new window is created with the clicked link. Then the Chrome window with previous browser session opens on top of that, hiding the new window.
Ideally Choosy should just open the window with the previous session, and add a tab to that.

Choosy main window opens automatically after every reboot in macOS 11.6
Since I installed macOS 11.6, Choosy v2.2.1 shows the main window every time I restart my computer. Is there a way to allow Choosy to start in background mode? I have to close the main window every time I turn on the computer and it is a bit annoying. Thanks!

Add "When <some-particular-browser> is running" clause
I'd like a rule clause that says "If <some-particular-browser> is running".
It's a little strange, but my favourite browser is a script that opens a link in a new Chrome window.
I want to be able to say: "If Chrome is running, use my favourite browser".
Hmmm, after writing that (and sorting out in my head what I'd actually need from Choosy), I can see it might be a bit niche.

Choosy Configured for File Extensions
It would be great to set choosy as the default for a specific file extension and have it display a list of multiple apps to choose from. Ideally it would be configured so that it could handle multiple files at once.

Spaces Bug?
I have multiple chrome profiles spread across spaces (macOS 11.5.2). Whenever I choose a chrome profile for opening a link, it opens properly in the correct browser but then goes to my space 1, which contains my Safari browser. Is this a bug?

Slack - deep-links to messages not working
I am trying to use Slack as the "browser" for all Slack message links (mostly coming from Todoist)
I have it setup in Choosy but when I click on a link, it puts the Slack app in focus but leaves me wherever I was, ie it doesn't take me to the message that was linked to
as a test, I set the browser to Chrome and it works properly
- Chrome opens a new tab
- Chrome then "forwards" the message link to Slack
- Slack comes to the front and takes me to the message
So the link is right. It seems…

Add option to always open links like this in X
Hi! Happy choosy customer, thanks for the app!
I have a complex set of choosy rules to manage work links vs. personal links.
Currently I have to manually add these rules each time a new url is encountered that is specifically for 'work' or 'personal'
I'd like the option to add new rules as part of the link-opening flow.
something like:
I click a link to www.google.com/foo/bar -> choosy asks me which browser I want to use
I hold down 'r' while clicking 'Chrome'
Choosy responds with 'Always opening www.google.com/foo/bar' in Chrome.
-> rule is added and can be…3 votes -
Exclude browsers from prompt
I'd like to be able to exclude some browsers from the prompt. For example, I added Zoom as a browser so I could set up a rule to automatically open all Zoom links in Zoom, but I don't really want Zoom in the prompt.
Thanks!

Duplicate Rule
Rules can be fiddly to set up and I want to add a variation on a rule. It would be nice if I could duplicate an existing rule and then modify it.

Allow for feature sponsorship
There are a number of features that have been lingering. Human constraints are obviously a factor and this is just part of life. What if people could throw dollars to sponsor a particular feature they liked?

Browser names and icons are incorrect in prompt
I'm using Chrome and Epichrome as two separate full-featured browsers and have added both to Choosy.
Under "Browsers" they show with their respective app names, but both show the Chrome icon.
In the Prompt, they both show up as "Chrome" with the Chrome icon.
While it might be a bit different than usual as these browsers are heavily related, they show correctly in the MacOS Dock and switcher.
Please detect these names correctly, or allow customising the prompt names and icons.

Rule for `Web address` `contains in domain`
When specifying a string for a web address, allow "contains in domain" as an option.
For example, I have an account with Fidelity. They have multiple domains and subdomains, so I'd like to be able to write a rule that triggers for pages on "fidelity.com" or "www.fidelity.com" or "fidelitynetbenefits.com" to open in the specified browser, but I would not want the rule to trigger for "otherwebsite.com/reviews/fidelity"
I know this can be approximated with regex, but that seems finicky, and I think this issue may occur often enough to be worth having a dedicated option.

What sort of volume pricing would be necessary to see a $1 per copy price?
Because "#search=..." functionality does not seem to work in Chrome.
My potential project needs urls to launch in Firefox from Chrome using urls of the suffix form: ...pdf#search="wordToSearchFor" (Since I control the urls, yes I can use the Choosy url API prefixes)

Time-based triggers
I propose adding a trigger that allows you to create rules based on the time of day. As an example, I might make a rule that if it is between 9:00-17:00 then open Chrome. And if it's between 17:00-23:00, then open Firefox. And if it's really late, open Safari to drive me nuts ;-P
