Click a link in Slack, Mail or Notes and LinkRouter shows a tiny picker right at your mouse: every browser, every Chrome profile, every Google account. Pick one with a number key and it opens there.
Email links get the same treatment. A mailto: opens Gmail compose as the account you choose, inside the Chrome profile that owns it, so it never sends from the wrong address.
Teach it once and it stops asking: rules by website, by app, or by email domain. Tracking junk and Safe Links wrappers are stripped before anything opens.
mailto: links open as the right account
LinkRouter finds every Google account signed in to each Chrome profile. Pick one and Gmail compose opens inside the profile that owns it, with the address, subject and body already filled in.
- Never sends from the wrong address
- Apple Mail and other mail apps work too
- Or just copy the address
Clean links
The link you meant, not the one you were sent
Corporate Safe Links, Google and Slack redirects get unwrapped, and tracking parameters are stripped before anything opens. Try one.

mailto: in Gmail
Compose as the right Google account, in the profile that owns it.

By website, by source app, by email domain. ⌘-click to remember a choice.
Clean links
Unwraps Safe Links, Google and Slack redirects and strips trackers.
Bounce
Opened in the wrong browser anyway? ⌃⌥B moves the tab to another profile.
Private by design
Runs on your Mac. No account, no cloud, nothing leaves your computer.
Questions
Which browsers does it support?
Every browser on your Mac. For Chrome, Brave and other Chromium browsers, and for Firefox-family browsers like Zen, it also lists each profile separately.
Does it work with Gmail in the browser?
Yes. Pick a Google account and LinkRouter opens Gmail compose with the address, subject and body filled in, as that account.
Is it a subscription?
No. You pay once and it is yours.
What happens if I quit it?
Links simply go to your previous browser. A link is never lost.
