Switchyard
Switchyard is a tiny macOS app that registers as your default browser and hands every link you click to the right Google Chrome profile — work links in your work profile, everything else in your personal one. It works from any app: Slack, Messages, WhatsApp, Superhuman, Mail, PDFs — anywhere you can click a link.
It decides in milliseconds using a configurable ladder of rules: your work domains first, then the visible context of the app you clicked in (a work email in the recipient line, a Slack workspace name), then contacts, then per-app defaults. The menu bar icon always shows the last routing decision and why.

Granola Switcher
The Granola meeting-notes app only lets you sign in to one account at a time. Granola Switcher is a command-line tool that captures each account's local state once, then switches between them in about a second — quit, swap, relaunch. It ships with Raycast script commands, so switching becomes a two-keystroke affair.
Install
brew install yanda/tap/granola-switcherSet up
Capture the account that's currently signed in, then sign in to your other account inside Granola and capture that one too:
granola-switcher capture personal --email [email protected]
# sign out in Granola, sign in to your work account, then:
granola-switcher capture work --email [email protected]From then on, switch any time:
granola-switcher switch work
granola-switcher switch personalFor Raycast, run granola-switcher raycast-install and add the printed folder under Raycast Settings → Extensions → Script Commands.
Unofficial and not affiliated with Granola. It relocates Granola's local session state on your own machine — use at your own risk, and never sync or share the switcher's data folder (it holds live login credentials).
SoundOrder
SoundOrder is a macOS menu bar app that keeps your sound input and output on the device you actually want. Rank your devices by priority; whenever devices come and go — AirPods connect, a dock unplugs, a monitor wakes up — SoundOrder switches the system default to the highest-priority device that's available. No more meetings that start on the wrong mic.
Install
- Download the latest
SoundOrder-x.y.z.dmgfrom Releases. - Open it and drag SoundOrder into
/Applications. - Launch it, drag your devices into priority order, and optionally enable Launch at Login.
Requires macOS 26 or later. Installed copies keep themselves up to date via Sparkle.
