About Default Handler
Default Handler lets you change the default app for URL schemes such as vnc on macOS. Edovia, the maker of the Screens remote desktop app, created it because sandboxed Mac App Store apps cannot set themselves as a URL scheme handler at runtime.
It suits people who want a specific app, for example Screens 5, to open links of a particular scheme instead of the system default.
