If you have never heard about OpenIn, the best way to describe it, it is a macOS application that helps you to get control over all installed applications on your mac. You can open all the links (URL, Mail) or files through OpenIn, which will give you a way to choose the proper application for this specific task. Quick examples:

  • If you use more than one browser (or browser with multiple profiles).
  • Open .xcodeprojin Xcode, Terminal (open a parent folder) or Sublime Text / VS Code (the parent folder), when you open this project in Finder.
  • Use Web Mail client (like Gmail, or Fastmail) as a Mail application to handle mailtolinks.
  • Being able to choose an application when you open a file from Finder, for example for csvfile you can select Numbers, Excel or Text Editor. For pdfcould be Adobe Acrobat or Preview.
