Proxly

The smart browser chooser for macOS

Website proxly.chillaid.art
Overview

What it is

I built Proxly to fix my own browser chaos. Now it can fix yours too. 🚀 Let Proxly route your links intelligently to the right browser based on your custom rules. Supports browser profiles, multiple domain constraints, source app constraints, Focus modes.

Intent

I need it when

Sync browser routing rules across multiple Mac devices without manual reconfiguration

Proxly uses iCloud sync to replicate carefully crafted rules across all user Macs. Rules are set up once and automatically available on every device, eliminating duplicate configuration work.

Block distracting or unwanted URLs and control which apps can access specific websites

Proxly includes URL blocking with intelligent pattern matching for productivity and parental controls. Combined with app-aware routing, users can prevent access to distracting sites or restrict certain apps from reaching specific domains.

Transform and clean URLs before opening them to remove trackers or redirect to privacy-friendly alternatives

Proxly supports URL transformations using templates or JavaScript scripting, enabling users to strip trackers, redirect Twitter to Nitter, or apply custom URL schemes. Short URL expansion automatically resolves bit.ly and t.co links before rules execute.

Maintain separate browser profiles for work, personal, and gaming contexts with automatic switching

Proxly supports launching specific browser profiles (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, Brave) and Safari profiles with distinct cookies and extensions. Time-based and Focus Mode integration automatically switches routing rules based on context, keeping work and personal browsing isolated.

Automatically route web links to the correct browser based on custom rules without manual selection

Proxly intelligently directs links to the right browser using domain patterns, regex, wildcards, and app-aware routing. Users define rules once and links automatically open in the correct browser, eliminating manual browser picking and reducing context-switching friction.

Drop

Not a fit when

  • User runs Windows or Linux; Proxly is macOS-only (requires macOS 14+)
  • User needs browser automation for non-macOS platforms or server environments
  • User requires open-source software with full source code access; Proxly is proprietary
  • User needs email client routing beyond mailto: link handling
  • User operates on older macOS versions below 14.0
  • User requires subscription-based pricing with ongoing support guarantees
