About

I’m a software architect and indie maker building privacy-first tools for Apple, Android platforms. Right now I’m focused on utilities that solve real annoyances in everyday workflows — especially around browsers, links, networking, and local-first user control. I care about products that are fast, practical, and understandable without sending user data to the cloud by default.

macOS: Chrome/Firefox support — would you use it?

I m the maker of Open Links in Apps currently a Safari extension for iOS & macOS that opens supported links in native apps and cleans messy URLs (tracking params, redirect wrappers, short links, AMP).

Supporting Chrome/Edge/Brave and Firefox on macOS would mean separate extensions + ongoing maintenance, so I want to validate demand first.

Quick reply (just copy one line):

  • Browser: Safari / Chrome / Edge / Brave / Firefox

  • Would install: Yes / No

  • Top feature: Open-in-app / URL cleaning / Per-site rules / Profiles / Logs

  • Blockers: Managed device / Permissions / Privacy / Other

How do you prefer controlling redirects: per-site rules, profiles, or quick modes?

Redirects are powerful, so control matters. Right now the extension focuses on:

  • per-site Never Redirect / exceptions

  • profiles (different rule sets)

  • quick modes (temporary behavior changes)

  • transparent logs so you can see what happened

I d love to understand your workflow:

  1. Do you want strict per-site control, or profiles for contexts (work/travel/social)?

  2. Would you use a one-tap disable for 10 minutes / for this site switch?

  3. What would make you trust a redirect tool more?

Drop your worst “opens the web version instead of the app” link 🙃

I m collecting real examples where Safari opens the wrong destination: web app instead of native app, AMP pages, social redirect wrappers, short links, etc.

If you have a link that consistently behaves badly, please post:

  • the URL (or domain + path pattern)

  • what you expected to happen (which app / which screen)

  • what actually happens in Safari

I ll reply with how I d handle it (new rule, exception, or something the extension can t safely change).
