Can Opener is a default app manager for Mac that lets you change which app opens each file type, all in one place. Move twenty file types to a new editor at once, instead of digging through Get Info one by one. Save your setups as profiles, so “Work” and “Hobby project” are one click away. Not sure which app you want? Set a file type to Ask Every Time and pick on the spot.

Can Opener features
Change file types in bulk
Pick a whole category, like Images, Code, or Office files, and move every type to a new app at once.
Profiles for every setup
“Work” opens code in IntelliJ and documents in Word. “Hobby project” sends them to VS Code and Pages. Switch from the window or the menu bar.
Ask Every Time
A small chooser pops up when you open a file. Press ⌘1, ⌘2, or ⌘3 and it opens in the app you picked.
Path rules
Files in your client’s folder go straight to their app, no questions asked.
Links and source files, separated
Use a browser for web links and an editor for HTML files.
Undo and quick search
Roll back any recent change in one click, or jump to any file type, app, or profile with ⌘P.
