HISTORY AND OPTIONAL ICLOUD SYNC

Routing decisions and tracking-parameter cleanup run on your Mac. Optional short-link resolution and website-icon fetching contact the relevant websites. You control whether these features and iCloud sync are enabled.

• Keep a local history of successfully opened links, choose how many entries to retain, reopen links or clear the list.
• Recognised sensitive URL parameters are redacted from saved history.
• Optionally sync rules, custom app definitions and supported preferences across your Macs with iCloud. Recent-link history stays on each Mac.

REQUIREMENTS

Requires a Mac with Apple Silicon and macOS 14 or later. Destination browsers and desktop apps must be installed. Direct opening in an app depends on that app's URL support. Links handled entirely within another app may bypass the system default browser. The App Store version cannot select a specific browser profile; switch profiles or accounts within your browser.
