About WhatsApp Chooser

WhatsApp Chooser lets you pick between WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business every time you click a wa.me link. If you use both a personal and a business WhatsApp account on your Mac, you know the problem: clicking a wa.me link always opens the same app, with no way to choose. This extension fixes that. HOW IT WORKS - Click any wa.me or api.whatsapp.com link - A clean chooser popup appears showing the contact number - Pick "WhatsApp" or "WhatsApp Business", the right app opens instantly FEATURES - Works with wa.me, api.whatsapp.com, and web.whatsapp.com links - Shows the phone number and message text before you choose - Fully configurable: works with any WhatsApp-compatible client (ChatMate, etc.) - Fast native messaging host written in C, no lag, no dependencies - Privacy-first: no data collected, no analytics, fully open source Setup (macOS, one time) This extension needs a small helper to launch the WhatsApp app you pick. The easiest way to install it is with Homebrew: 1. Install Homebrew if you do not have it yet (see brew.sh) 2. Open Terminal and run: brew tap onemanjoe/whatsapp-chooser https://github.com/onemanjoe/whatsapp-chooser brew install whatsapp-chooser-host whatsapp-chooser-host configure whatsapp-chooser-host register 3. Quit Chrome completely and reopen it That is it. Prefer not to use Homebrew? You can still install the helper manually from the GitHub repository; see the README. Source code & setup instructions: github.com/onemanjoe/whatsapp-chooser macOS only.
