On Mac I used Finicky. I switched to Linux with Omarchy almost a year ago and went looking for an equivalent. Junction only asks every time, mimi doesn't carry routing rules. The remaining path was "build your own", and I did. It worked well, with a TUI that paired nicely with Omarchy. Then I thought: this should be a built-in feature on every OS, the same way each OS has a rule for which app opens PDFs. So I decided to do McLovin the right way: a cross-platform router, configurable by anyone, with a browser picker when nothing matches and rules to send every link to the right place.
