Often, links open in the wrong browser or application in which we are comfortable at the moment. It seems to be okay, but a little annoying.

With the macOS [**OpenIn**](https://loshadki.app/openin/) app you can customize the opening of links in the app you want. You can also customize the opening depending on the source of the link.

### Working with the utility

When you first start, OpenIn offers a little self-help training to get you up to speed quickly.

Then I recommend going to the utility settings because this is where all the magic happens. Three types of links are supported by default: browser, email applications and dialers.

To configure, you need to select the appropriate type and in the Add app section, select indicate the application that should open it.

On the **Rules** tab, you can select the rule that will trigger this redirection.

You can specify a match by the domain or application-source of the link, using a specific hotkey, and much more.

On the **Shorteners** tab, you can activate the automatic expanding of short links.

Similar access settings for other types of links. And in the **File types** section, you can configure the opening of certain file types in the application you need. Here you can also set rules, but based on the path to the file.
