Links that know where to go, every time

Not where you're going - where you came from. AlterEgo opens links in the right browser profile, automatically.

Built for power users

Minimal footprint, maximum utility

Invisible by design

No Dock icon. No menu bar item. AlterEgo runs silently in the background — you'll forget it's there.

Always on, never in the way

AlterEgo starts at login and runs silently. Configure it once.

Context is everything

Same link, different context. AlterEgo routes it to the right profile every time.

Privacy-first

No analytics, no telemetry, no network requests. Your browsing habits stay on your machine.

How it works

Three simple steps, completely automatic

01

You click a link in an app

Any link in Slack, Discord, or any other app you use on your Mac.

02

AlterEgo reads the context

Reads where you clicked from, not where you're headed.

03

Opens in the right profile

The link launches in your mapped browser profile automatically.

Works with your browser
