Features

Your links, your rules, the right browser.

Transform how you handle web links on macOS by automatically directing them to the right browser based on your custom rules.

Smart Domain Routing

Create rules based on domain patterns with support for exact matches, wildcards (*.github.com), and powerful regex patterns.

Browser Profile Support

Launch specific browser profiles, not just browsers. Open work Gmail in your work Chrome profile, social media in a private Safari profile, gaming links from Discord in Opera GX.

Time-Based Routing

Automatically switch browser behavior based on time of day. Route social media to a distraction-free browser during work hours.

Focus Mode Integration

Adapts to your macOS Focus modes. Different browser routing when you're in 'Work' focus versus 'Personal' time.

App-Aware Routing

Route links based on the app they come from. Open links from Slack in Chrome, from Mail in Safari — your rules.

Browser Extensions

Use Proxly inside your browser. Extensions for Chromium and Firefox-based browsers, plus Safari support.

Accessibility

Built with accessibility in mind: VoiceOver friendly, keyboard navigable, and high-contrast aware UI.

iCloud Sync

Sync your carefully crafted rules across all your Macs with secure iCloud integration. Set up once, enjoy everywhere.

Custom Browser Arguments

Fine-tune browser behavior with custom command-line arguments for advanced users who need specific browser configurations.

URL Blocking

Block distracting or unwanted URLs entirely. Perfect for productivity or parental controls with intelligent pattern matching.

Safari Profile Support

Use distinct Safari profiles for work and personal, with separate cookies, extensions, and sessions — Proxly is the only other app that provides this functionality.

URL Transformations

Transform URLs before opening: strip trackers, redirect X/Twitter to Nitter or XCancel, target custom URL schemes, and more. Use templates or JavaScript scripting.

Native App Linking

Open links like open.spotify.com directly in their desktop apps. Supported: Linear, Spotify, Discord, Zoom, Trello.

AI Rule Creation

Create routing rules using natural language with on-device Apple Intelligence. Describe what you want and let Apple Foundation Models generate the rule for you.

Open URL from Clipboard

Use a global keyboard shortcut to open URLs directly from your clipboard. Supports multi-URL selection when your clipboard contains multiple links.

Advanced Rule Management

Multi-select rules with Cmd+Click and Shift+Click, bulk operations, persistent drag reorder, clipboard copy/paste, and drag-and-drop import/export.

Link History

Every link Proxly has ever routed is logged — where it went, which rule matched, and which app sent it. Search, filter by date, and instantly create a new rule straight from any past entry.

Email Link Routing

Route mailto: links to your preferred mail client automatically. Manage your installed email apps, reorder them, and assign the right one per rule — just like you do with browsers.

Private & Incognito Mode

Open any link in a private or incognito window straight from a rule. Hold Option while clicking a browser in the selection panel for a one-off private session.

Short URL Expansion

Bit.ly, t.co, and other shortened links are silently resolved to their real destination before your rules run — so a rule for youtube.com will correctly catch shortened YouTube links too.
