Browser identity router

Link Helm

One link. The right browser profile.

Route external links by source application and domain, keeping work, personal, and client sessions in the browser identity where they belong.

macOS 13+ Chrome validated MIT licensed

Control without context switching

A quiet control surface for every incoming link

Set Link Helm as the default browser, define precise rules, preview routing decisions, and keep sensitive URL paths out of diagnostics.

Routing pipeline

Context in. Correct identity out.

Link Helm evaluates only the context needed to make a routing decision.

  1. 01

    Source application

    Mail, chat, calendar, or any app opening a web link.

  2. 02

    Link context

    Match by source Bundle ID and domain without retaining full URLs.

  3. 03

    Routing rule

    Choose a specified, active, global, or prompted destination.

  4. 04

    Browser profile

    Open the link in the browser-managed identity that fits the context.

Built for repeat use

Routing that stays explainable

Specific, ordered rules

Preview matches before relying on them, then reorder and export your configuration.

Bounded diagnostics

Diagnostics retain domains and stable identifiers, not paths, query values, or fragments.

Visible fallback behavior

Ask, reuse an active profile, open a target profile, or fail explicitly when a destination is unavailable.

Current support

Validated where it matters, explicit everywhere else

Link Helm is early software. The table distinguishes verified behavior from adapter-level work and future plans.
