30+ built-in apps, multi-model AI, ironclad privacy, and 50+ browser features — all in one place. No extensions required.
Every tab is a full Chromium BrowserView with keyboard shortcuts, middle-click close, and an address bar that doubles as a command center. Type @c for Claude, @gpt for ChatGPT, or @gem for Gemini — and press Cmd+K to open the command palette with 105+ actions.
Chat with Claude, GPT-4, Gemini, and 7+ more models through a single interface. Get streaming responses with markdown rendering, code syntax highlighting, and Claude-style artifacts with live HTML preview. AI can see your active tab, transcribe meetings, and connect to 20 data sources.
Native Gmail, Google Drive, Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, and YouTube API integration. Compose rich emails with AI-assisted writing, manage multiple accounts, and search across all your Google data from a unified interface.
Every new tab opens a personalized dashboard with AI-powered briefing widgets, your calendar, email summary, tasks, and news. Customize your greeting, clock format, and quick-launch actions for the apps you use most. Add iPhone-style widgets from a built-in widget picker.
Built-in ad and tracker blocking on every page. A full password vault with AES-256-GCM encryption, Touch ID biometric unlock, TOTP two-factor authentication, breach monitoring, and Chrome import. All data stays on your machine.
Run Messages, Music, Tasks, or Autopilot as a 320px collapsible sidebar panel while you browse. Keep your conversations and tools visible without switching tabs.
Smart Compose offers real-time AI suggestions as you type in any text field across any website. Press Tab to accept, Escape to dismiss. AI Fill Page fills entire forms with context-aware data from your browsing history and saved profiles.
Tab Hibernation auto-suspends inactive tabs to save RAM — with configurable timeout and smart exemptions for pinned, audio-playing, and user-defined URLs. Split View tiles 2 or 4 tabs side by side. Spatial Tab Map visualizes all open tabs grouped by domain on an interactive canvas.
A built-in Privacy Panel shows tracker counts with a heatmap and privacy score for every site. URL Cleaning auto-strips tracking parameters (utm_*, fbclid, gclid) from all navigations. Incognito Tabs and full Incognito Windows (Cmd+Shift+N) keep sessions ephemeral.
Built on the Castlabs Electron fork with Widevine DRM for native protected streaming. Picture-in-Picture keeps video floating while you work. A Media Controls HUD provides floating play/pause and skip controls. Closed Captions overlay supports both system and AI-generated subtitles.
Focus Mode hides feeds and sidebars on Twitter, YouTube, Reddit, and LinkedIn. Do Not Disturb suppresses all notifications with scheduled quiet hours. Reader Mode+ reduces cognitive load with adjustable fonts, spacing, and color schemes. Alarms and Reminders fire notifications right from the browser.
The address bar is a swiss-army knife: inline calculator, unit converter, and dictionary. Type math expressions, conversions like "5 miles to km", or "define serendipity" and get instant answers. Custom search engine keywords let you search Google, GitHub, YouTube, npm, Reddit, and more with shortcuts.
XMethod includes High Contrast Mode, OpenDyslexic font injection, color blind filters (deuteranopia, protanopia, tritanopia), Reduce Motion mode that disables animations and parallax, and Text-to-Speech for reading selected text aloud.
Customize your accent color, wallpaper, and theme. Override permissions, zoom, and settings per-site. Autofill addresses, payment methods, and form data. Link Preview shows a preview card with title, description, and image on hover. Screenshot Tool captures any tab with Cmd+Shift+S.
Custom permission prompts for camera, microphone, notifications, geolocation, clipboard, and MIDI — never a confusing browser dialog. Webcam and mic settings include virtual backgrounds, echo cancellation, and noise suppression. Family Profiles let you create child accounts with screen time limits and content blocking.
