Feel free to add your own ideas for how to use Finicky.

    match: ({url}) => url.protocol === "http",
    url: {
        protocol: "https"
    }
}]

Matching an array of multiple apps

handlers: [{
    // Open any link clicked in Mail & Outlook in Google Chrome
    match: ({opener}) =>
        ["com.apple.mail", "com.microsoft.Outlook"].includes(opener.bundleId),
    browser: "Google Chrome"
}]

or

handlers: [{
    // Open any link clicked in Mail & Outlook in Google Chrome
    match: ({opener}) =>
        ["Mail", "Microsoft Outlook"].includes(opener.name),
    browser: "Google Chrome"
}]

Open links of example.com including 'Finicky' in the path

handlers: [{
    match: ({url}) =>
        url.host.includes("example.com") && url.pathname.includes("Finicky"),
    browser: "Firefox"
}]

Replace domain of urls to amazon.com with smile.amazon.com

rewrite: [{
    match: "amazon.com/*",
    url: {
        host: "smile.amazon.com"
    }
}]

Remove all marketing/tracking information from urls

rewrite: [{
    match: () => true, // Execute rewrite on all incoming urls to make this example easier to understand
    url: ({url}) => {
        const removeKeysStartingWith = ["utm_", "uta_"]; // Remove all query parameters beginning with these strings
        const removeKeys = ["fbclid", "gclid"]; // Remove all query parameters matching these keys

        const search = url.search
            .split("&")
            .map((parameter) => parameter.split("="))
            .filter(([key]) => !removeKeysStartingWith.some((startingWith) => key.startsWith(startingWith)))
            .filter(([key]) => !removeKeys.some((removeKey) => key === removeKey));

        return {
            ...url,
            search: search.map((parameter) => parameter.join("=")).join("&"),
        };
    },
}]

    match: /zoom\.us\/join/,
    browser: "us.zoom.xos"
  } ],
  }],

      url
    }) => url.host.includes("zoom.us") && url.pathname.includes("/j/"),
    url({

    }) {
      try {

      } catch {
        var pass = ""
      }
      var conf = 'confno=' + url.pathname.match(/\/j\/(\d+)/)[1];

        const match = url.search.match(/to=(.+)/)
        return !match ? url : decodeURIComponent(decodeURIComponent(match[1]));
    }
}]

Match multiple conditions

For example, you may want to only open matching URLs in a specific browser when opening those URLs from within a particular application. In that case, you need to match on both the opener and the url:

handlers: [{
    // Open Google Drive in Firefox if opened from Slack
    match: ({opener, url}) =>
        opener.bundleId === "com.tinyspeck.slackmacgap" && url.host.includes("drive.google.com"),
    browser: "Firefox"
}]

Open Jitsi links in Jitsi desktop app for MacOS

handlers: [{
    match: ({url}) => url.host.includes("jitsi.your-selfhosted-server.com") ||
        url.host.includes("meet.jit.si"),
    url: ({url}) => {
        return {
            ...url,
            protocol: "jitsi-meet",
            host: url.host,
            pathname: url.pathname
        };
    },
    browser: "/Applications/Jitsi\ Meet.app"
}]

Open links clicked in Telegram in specific Profile in Edge

Save following AppleScript as Application with name edge-profile-1

on open location input
	do shell script "/Applications/Microsoft\\ Edge.app/Contents/MacOS/Microsoft\\ Edge --profile-directory=\"Profile 1\" '" & input & "'"
end open location

Than use it as browser

{
    match: ({opener}) => ["Telegram"].includes(opener.name),
    browser: 'com.apple.ScriptEditor.id.edge-profile-1'
}

Open installed desktop applications instead of web apps

This example assumes you have installed Figma, Linear, and Slite desktop apps. But you can make it work with any other app.

Requirements

• install the targeted apps you want to support,
• check their URL schemes with:

defaults read /Applications/THE_APP.app/Contents/Info.plist CFBundleURLTypes

finicky Configuration

handlers: [{
  match: ({url}) => !url.protocol.match(/^https?$/),
  browser: "Finder"
}],

rewrite: [{
  match: ({url}) => url.host.split('.').some((c) => ['figma', 'linear', 'slite'].includes(c)),
  url: ({url}) => {
    const protocol = url.host.match(/([\w\.]*?)(\w+)\.\w\w\w?$/)[2];
    return {...url, protocol };
  }
}]
