This app is a revived version of the original "Open Link With" app by Said Tahsin Dane, which was removed from the Play Store in 2024, due to not updating the target Android SDK to Android 13.

Share the current web page from a browser to open in another app!

With Open Link With, you can share a link from your browser to this app, and it will ask you which applications to open the link with.

If you find yourself sharing the same url over and over, you can use "Add to Home Screen" feature to add your favorite link from your favorite app to your home screen.

Note: This app also fixes links for some of the most popular Android applications.
Not all but most of the links from these websites will be opened with their respective native Android apps when you share them with Open Link With.

The app uses internet to:

- Send crash reports to Firebase Crashlytics
- Send feature usage statistics to Firebase Analytics
- Resolve redirects of shortened links
- Find the title of the link while using "Add to Home Screen"

We never collect any of the links that you share with this app.

The application is open source, and the source can be found here:

Ratings and reviews

Simple and excellent. No ads, no nonsense. Unfortunately, and no fault of this app, links clicked in the google messaging app narcissistically ignore the default browser choice and instead open the links in a Chrome browser shell. I LOATHE GULAG.

looking good so far. I'm using it to intercept ad links, as my os (oxygenos12) does not allow 'no default browser". It would be cool if this app had a "do nothing" option to silently block the pesky ads.

it worked perfectly for years, but today it suddenly started to just not open, neither popup nor the app itself. Force stop, clearing data, reinstalling did not help.

What’s new

Life-support mode: this app will keep getting Android version updates, but no new features or bug fixes.

Recommended alternatives: URLCheck, LinkSheet, and Sidestep (see in-app notice for links).

Also adds a Keep Android Open banner supporting open Android app installs.
