Feature index

Precision-engineered features

Every feature below carries its real status. "In development" means it is part of the current Phase 1 build and not yet verified; "planned" means no code exists yet. Nothing here is available for download today.

Phase 1 — Foundation

In development now

Tab ModeIn development

The classic multi-tab model: tab strip, omnibox, navigation. One sandboxed browser view per tab, with tab lifecycle managed by a dedicated TabManager.

Workspace foundationIn development

Named contexts that group tabs so research, development, and personal browsing stay apart. Phase 1 lays the foundation; the full persistent Workspace Mode grows in Phase 2.

Command paletteIn development

Keyboard-first control surface for switching tabs and workspaces and running browser commands — the centerpiece of the speed principle.

Session recoveryIn development

Session state is continuously snapshotted to a local store so a crash or restart restores your tabs and workspaces.

Local historyIn development

Browsing history recorded to a local dataset on your machine — searchable, deletable, and never transmitted anywhere.

itisyou:// internal pagesIn development

New tab page, settings, and diagnostics served over the internal itisyou:// scheme — trusted UI kept strictly apart from web content.

Deny-by-default permissionsIn development

Every site permission request (camera, microphone, location, notifications) routes through one central PermissionService whose answer starts at no.

AI runtime — disabledIn development

Present only as disabled interfaces: no provider, no API keys, zero provider calls. Off by default is a structural property, not a toggle.

Network-mode abstractionIn development

Standard networking only in Phase 1 — but behind an abstraction, so proxy and Tor modes can be added later without rearchitecting.

The centerpiece of speed

A design preview of the keyboard-first control surface — this is a mockup of the design spec, not a screenshot of a shipped build.

Later phases

Planned — no code yet

Committed directions on the roadmap. We do not attach dates; milestones ship when they are verified.

Full Workspace ModePlanned · Phase 2

Persistent workspace environments with richer organization on top of the Phase 1 foundation.

Tor / proxy network modesPlanned · Phase 2/3

Alternative network modes through the network abstraction. Not implemented — no anonymity claims until built and verified.

ExtensionsPlanned · Phase 2+

Extension runtime. CEF's Chrome runtime style has partial support; full support may require the documented move to a Chromium source derivative.

SyncPlanned · Later phase

Optional, opt-in synchronization. Local-first remains the default forever.

Password managerPlanned · Later phase

Local credential storage behind its own dataset boundary.

Installers & auto-updatePlanned · Phase 4

Signed installers for Windows, Linux, and macOS — the point at which downloads become real.
