Open with: link & file chooser

TAKE BACK CONTROL. MAKE ANDROID YOURS AGAIN.

Android decides which app opens your links, files and shares, and since Android 12 it rarely even asks. Open with puts you back in charge. Pick any app on your phone, or set up rules once and let everything open where it should, automatically.

PRIVATE TABS FROM ANY APP
Chrome, Brave, Vivaldi and Opera don't let other apps open a link in a private tab. Open with does it for you: tap Private in the chooser, or let a rule do it every time.

BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO RUN THEIR WORK FROM THEIR PHONE
- Work links in the browser you're signed into for work during office hours, everything else in your personal one.
- Addresses from messages and email straight into your navigation app.
- Contracts and invoices straight into your signing or PDF app.
- A pause before your bank or payment pages, and nowhere else.

ANY APP, NOT JUST THE ONES ANDROID SUGGESTS
Amazon links in the Amazon app, Reddit links in your favourite client, text files in the notepad you actually use.

AUTOMATED RULES
YouTube links always in YouTube Morphe. PDFs from Gmail in Acrobat. Never offer Chrome for Amazon links.
- Match a website by name, wildcard, prefix, a word or a regex. Scope a rule to a content type, a file name or the app it came from.
- Only on certain days and times, with headphones connected, or in a mode like Work or Personal. Switch modes by hand or on a schedule.
- Rules can also copy the link or save a copy of the file to a folder.
- "Always ask" rules bring the chooser back where you want to decide each time.
- Tap New rule in the chooser, start from 26 templates, or let Open with suggest one.

FLEXIBLE
Links, images, audio and video, PDFs, ebooks, Office files, APKs, maps, navigation, email, calls, texts, web searches, shares and more each get their own page: a default app, open without asking, hidden apps, order and countdown. Add your own file types, with their own icon.

CUSTOMISABLE
A small chooser, with a countdown if you like. Material You colours or your own, grid or list, size and position, over 40 animations, all with a live preview. Copy, edit, clean or share a link, or show it as a QR code.

HOW THIS APP USES THE ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE
Optional, and off until you allow it. Chrome-based browsers and Opera open only an empty private tab for other apps, so Open with's accessibility service (AccessibilityService API) types the link in: when you choose a private tab, it finds that browser's address bar, enters the link and closes the keyboard. It reads no other app and collects, stores or shares nothing. Firefox doesn't need it.

WHEN SOMETHING DOESN'T ARRIVE
"Why isn't this working?" checks your setup and shows the steps for your phone. App compatibility shows what each app can open and why one never shows up. Diagnostics shows which rule would win for any link.

WHY IT CAN SEE YOUR APPS
Open with asks Android for the list of installed apps. That is how it can offer any app, not just the ones Android suggests, and how it finds the right apps for each type. The list is used on your phone only and never leaves it.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
- No ads. No trackers. No analytics. No account.
- Open with never sends your links or files anywhere.

FREE, WITH AN OPTIONAL ONE-TIME UPGRADE
Free: everything for web links. Every kind of website rule, modes, any app as the target, the countdown, the chooser's actions, temporary choices, every look and animation, Diagnostics, backup and restore, custom tab support and Android TV.

Open with Pro is a single one-time purchase, no subscription. It adds files, maps, email, calls, messages, shares, web searches and every other content type, with all the same settings, plus your own file types with an icon of your choice.

GOOD TO KNOW
- Android 10 or newer. Works on phones, tablets and Android TV.
- Using a work profile? Install Open with in it too; each side has its own rules.
