Open Multiple Links

Bulk-open every URL hiding in a chunk of text — Slack threads, release notes, notes docs, share-sheet dumps — without clicking each one. Handles web URLs, local file paths, custom URI schemes (obsidian://, vscode://), mailto:, markdown links, and bare domains.

Commands

Open Multiple Links

Extracts every URL from the currently-selected text and opens them in your default browser (or a browser of your choice, set in preferences).

Open Multiple Links from Clipboard

Same as above, but reads from your clipboard instead of selected text — useful when text isn't selectable (PDF, image OCR, etc.).

Open Multiple Links History

Browse the last 100 batches you've opened. Each entry shows the source, count, type breakdown, and timestamp. Replay, copy as a list, pin to protect from FIFO eviction, or delete.

Filter Multiple Links

Paste URL-rich text into your clipboard, then run this command to see extracted links grouped by host (web) and type (local files, mailto:, custom schemes). Multi-select with ⌘T, then Open Selected — useful for previewing before opening, or opening only the GitHub links from a long thread.

Safety

When a batch hits the confirm threshold (default 10), a dialog shows the count, type breakdown, and first 5 items. Open All or Cancel.

Executables always confirm. If any extracted item is a local file that runs code on open — an app bundle, installer (.app, .dmg, .pkg, .xip), or shell/automation script (.sh, .command, .scpt, .workflow) — a warning dialog appears regardless of the threshold or the confirmation toggle, even for a single item. This guards against untrusted pasted text silently launching something.

How links are detected

Extraction is intentionally permissive so it catches links that aren't fully-qualified URLs. Two things worth knowing:

• Non-web types open by default. Local paths, mailto:, and custom schemes (obsidian://, vscode://, …) are opened alongside web URLs — that's the point of the extension. Turn off Open all URI types to restrict opening to http(s)/www. only.
• A bare word.tld is treated as a website. Because some file extensions double as top-level domains (index.app, notes.io, demo.dev), a bare token like index.app is opened as https://index.app. To have such a token treated as a file instead, give it a path (./index.app or /full/path/index.app).

Preferences

• Browser — App to open web URLs in (defaults to system default). Non-web URIs always use the macOS default handler.
• Open Delay (ms) — Milliseconds between opens. 0 = parallel (chunked at 10). Higher values help cold-start apps like Obsidian accept URIs.
• Open all URI types — When off, only http(s) and www. URLs open. Other extracted types are silently skipped.
• Show confirmation when opening many links — Toggle for the safety dialog.
• Confirm Threshold — Show confirmation when count ≥ this number.
