5 Productivity Apps I Can’t Live Without As a Designer

When people ask me, “What’s your favorite browser?” I give them a noncommittal shrug.
I’m not just living in one browser. I’m living in all of them, all the time.
My “go-to” browser is Safari because of its native UI and privacy features, but it doesn't have kickass extensions. Google Chrome works better for Google's products. But I also like how Arc manages spaces, bookmarks, and the ever-so-controversial vertical tabs layout.
Here's the problem.
In the age of AI apps, I am not firing up my browser to look for things. I press Option + Space, pop open ChatGPT's chat box and I get my answers.
However, I do read newsletters in my email. My coworkers send me links on WhatsApp or Discord.
When I click those, I want them to open exactly where I want (mostly where I last stopped reading). I want the Google Docs to open in Chrome, Dribbble references in the Inspiration space of Arc, and everything else in Safari. Did I mention that I am currently testing Opera?
Velja by @sindresorhus is a browser switcher and link opener app that allows you to control how and where links open on your computer. It’s perfect for users who juggle multiple browsers for work or personal browsing. It doesn't just work with browsers. It can open links to web apps in their desktop app. Notion links in Notion, Figma links in Figma, Zoom… you get the idea.
Download Velja from App Store. Install it and then go to Settings > Desktop & Dock > Default web browser. Make Velja your default browser.
