FileRouter
A macOS default file handler and switcher that routes files to preferred editors based on rules, radial pickers, parent folders, and custom hotkeys.
About FileRouter
What the tool does and who it's for
FileRouter is a macOS menu bar utility that acts as a default file handler, giving users complete control over how files and editors interact. Functioning like Choosy or Velja for local files, it replaces macOS's rigid default application assignment with smart rules, custom pickers, and configurable editor priorities. Double-clicking a file routes it to designated editors based on criteria like file extension, filename patterns, or parent directory paths. It supports opening multiple editors simultaneously, displaying dynamic radial or list HUD pickers, setting system hotkeys, and triggering custom URL schemes.
