finicky VS open-source-mac-os-apps

Finicky is a macOS utility that allows you to configure rules for directing URLs to different web browsers or browser profiles. Using it to direct URLs to multiple Chrome profiles at the workplace can be useful for separating work-related browsing from personal activities or for managing different projects. With this optimal way, you can gain the benefit of not wasting your time to re-do actions to make it works well with your browser sessions.

I'm currently experimenting with "link eye" from FDroid on Android. There's also [finicky](https://github.com/johnste/finicky) for MacOS.

Here's an open source solution. Set it up, forget about it. https://github.com/johnste/finicky

The workaround to disable Bing/Discover (msEdgeSidebarV2) on MacOS is to install finicky and set it as the default browser so it can launch Edge for you with customized arguments.

If you're comfortable with a terminal/some coding, Finicky is the best one I've found - https://github.com/johnste/finicky

Have you tried making a different desktop entry/shortcut for each Firefox profile and then setting a browser picker as your default browser?

- Junction (Linux browser picker): https://github.com/sonnyp/Junction

- Finicky (macOS browsee rule setter): https://github.com/johnste/finicky and Browserosaurus (macOS browser picker): https://github.com/will-stone/browserosaurus

- Hurl (Windows browser picker): https://github.com/U-C-S/Hurl

Finicky will help you when you use different browsers, and/or different profiles. As a consultant I often use browser profiles to split my clients. I have a "Binx.io" profile for all Binx related work. For each client I have corresponding profiles. Let's call them "Client A" and "Client B".

// See https://github.com/johnste/finicky module.exports = { defaultBrowser: "Vivaldi", handlers: [ { match: ({ opener }) => opener.bundleId === "org.whispersystems.signal-desktop", browser: { name: "Google Chrome", profile: "Profile 2" } }, { match: "open.spotify.com/*", browser: "Spotify" }, { match: [ /miro.com\/app\/board\//, ], browser: "com.electron.realtimeboard" }, { match: [ /zoom.us\/j\//, ], browser: "us.zoom.xos" }, { match: [ /https:\/\/atlassian.slack.com\/archives\//, ], browser: "Slack" }, { match: [ finicky.matchHostnames([ /abc.net.au$/, /news.com.au$/, /smh.com.au$/ ]), ], browser: { name: "Google Chrome", profile: "Profile 2" } } ] }

There is a github repo with a list of Open source mac os apps

Here’s a nice collection on GitHub that’s regularly updated if anyone’s interested.

Some more listed here: https://github.com/serhii-londar/open-source-mac-os-apps

The other responses have some great answers, but I learn best by breaking something that is already working, and so this list may have useful sources of code to poke around in: https://github.com/serhii-londar/open-source-mac-os-apps

I am looking for a good Mp3 file tagger and renamed (based on those tags). I cannot find anything. Googling for it ends up in all sorts of free-ad-fremium-subscription trash. Also on https://github.com/serhii-londar/open-source-mac-os-apps isn't such a thing.

Oh and an extensive list of free open source mac apps (hosted on Github).
