Why It Exists

A browser shaped like a desktop workspace

Research-first flow

Keep a working set of tabs, saved workspaces, watched pages, AI summaries, and page memory alive without scattering your context across apps.

Media built in

Music and video stay nearby through persistent companion surfaces and a floating pane, instead of taking over your main browsing view.

Native macOS feel

Keyboard-driven commands, scene routing, vertical tabs, split view, and inspector surfaces make the app feel like a real desktop tool rather than a themed wrapper.

Privacy by default

Privacy Shield, popup stripping, tracker blocking, and page cleanup ship inside the browser instead of being scattered across add-ons and menu utilities.
