Velja Overview

What is Velja? Velja is a free app that allows users to open links in a specific browser or matching native app. It comes with a Safari extension that enables users to open the current page with Velja or right-click a link to open it with Velja. The app allows users to create advanced rules to open certain links in a specific browser or profile. It also removes tracking parameters on clicked and copied links and supports opening links in the native app for various services. The app resolves some URLs to popular services offline whenever possible to improve the speed of opening links. Users can contact the developer through the feedback button in the app or via email.

Software Reviews and Criticism


  • By DeltaSpark55

    Must have if you use multiple browsers

    I love this. It's incredibly helpful from opening Zoom links directly in the app, to managing different Chrome user profiles, to making sure apps that I have privacy concerns always open in my privacy-strong browsers


  • By valoche_la_brioche

    Very clever

    The app website details precisely what this app can and can't do. Regarding what it can do, it is a very convenient way to switch from one browser to another. I just wish the extension could work with Orion, but using the Share menu is good enough

    Easy to configure and works!

    I was looking for something like this to solve a few annoying behaviors -- Google Docs opening in Safari, and Zoom opening a million tabs. This solved those problems and more. The best? It's really easy to configure.

    Excellent app

    A thoughtful application that works on multiple browsers. Comes with plenty of settings to customize how the application works–even for non-browsers. Naysayers want to bring updates to a halt, I say keep them coming! Keep up the good work!


  • By MelodyHere

    Works nicely and easy to configure

    I use Safari as my main browser but my job requires us to use Chrome for corporate things. Using this app to force enterprise login and Slack link opens happen in Chrome. Thank you for the free app!
