Dia Control
A free Mac app that works like Arc's Air Traffic Control. Add a rule like github.com to Work, and links you click in other apps open in that profile.
Unzip it, move Dia Control to Applications and open it. It lives in your menu bar.

Three steps, then you can forget about it.
Links waiting for a profile, links opened recently, and a test for any link.
A native Mac app with a handful of settings.
Nothing. Dia Control is free.
A Mac with macOS 14 or later, Apple silicon or Intel, and Dia. The app is signed and notarized by Apple.
Rules are checked from the top down and the first one that matches wins. A rule can match a domain and its subdomains, one exact host, or a URL path.
Your default browser only receives links from other apps. For links inside Dia, the optional extension adds Route with Dia Control to the right-click menu.
No. When a link's page is already open in its profile, Dia Control switches to that tab instead of opening a new one.
No. It only handles the links you click in other apps, and keeps your rules on your Mac. It goes online for three things: each rule's site icon, following a tracking link (like a link in an email) to find the real page, and a daily check for updates.
Yes. Keep Velja as your default browser and choose Dia Control as its browser. Velja's rules run first, then Dia Control picks the Dia profile.
Dia Control checks once a day. When there's a new version it shows Install update; one click downloads it, checks it's signed by the same developer and restarts the app.
Choose Dia as your default browser in System Settings, then quit Dia Control from its menu bar icon.
No. It's an independent app and not affiliated with The Browser Company.
