Why I Built Burly

Short summary

A developer built Burly, a macOS menu bar app that intercepts link clicks and presents a fast keyboard-driven radial picker to choose which browser or profile opens the URL. It auto-discovers browsers and profiles, supports a modifier-key bypass for streaks of same-destination links, and keeps all data on-device with no cloud or analytics. The app addresses the daily friction of links opening in the wrong browser context.
