Function Details and Operations
- Workspaces: Organizes tabs into separate, distinct lists, similar to "rooms in a house." Group tabs easily, flow through different work contexts, and jump between different logins within workspaces.
- Vertical Tabs: Displays tabs vertically, providing a clearer overview of open pages, akin to a to-do list. Easier navigation and management of numerous open tabs.
- Tabs as Tasks: Treats tabs like tasks in a to-do list. Mark tabs as "done" to clear them, or "lock" them to keep them persistent in a workspace.
- Split Screen: Allows users to view and interact with two websites simultaneously. Enables efficient multitasking for tasks requiring information from multiple sources.
- Lazy Search (NEW): Instantaneous search functionality across various sources. Hit the spacebar to search through open tabs, the internet, commands, and bookmarks.
- Ask Anything (Airis, NEW): An AI browser companion that understands the context of the current webpage. Chat with any website, find information using natural language, and explain paragraphs in context.
- Look it up (Airis, NEW): AI-powered internet search and information synthesis. Airis can search the internet, build starting points for research, learn new information, read multiple pages at once, and answer follow-up questions.
- Simplify (NEW): Reduces visual clutter and distractions on any website. Pinch out or hit 'S' to transform any website into a short, interactive summary. Users can then ask follow-up questions about the summary.
- Magic Theme: Automatically adjusts SigmaOS's color scheme to match the website being viewed. Enhances visual aesthetics and improves screenshot quality.
- Ad-free Browsing (SigmaOS Ad Blocker): Built-in ad-blocking functionality. Provides a cleaner, distraction-free browsing experience.
- Focus Mode: Hides all browser elements except the current webpage. Hit the 'F' key or the Focus button to minimize distractions and concentrate on one page.
- Easy Migration: Simplifies the transition from other browsers. Automatically imports logins, cookies, and browsing history from previous browsers.
- Multiple Logins (Separate Profiles): Allows different accounts to be logged in within separate workspaces. Turn on "separate profiles" to easily switch between personal and work accounts (e.g., social media, email).
- Single-key Shortcuts: Powerful and intuitive keyboard shortcuts for common actions. Examples include 'W' for a new Workspace and 'D' for "Done" with a page.
- Command-Hover: Provides a quick preview of a link's content without opening it. Hover over a link to see a sneak peek.
- Autosync (NEW): Synchronizes SigmaOS settings and setup across multiple devices. Log into your account on any Mac to retrieve your personalized SigmaOS environment.
- Magic Rename (Self-naming tabs): Automatically renames frequently used, locked tabs to something descriptive. Lock a tab, and SigmaOS will intelligently rename it.
- WebKit Engine: Utilizes the same rendering engine as Safari. Ensures top-class performance, security, and seamless integration with macOS.
- SwiftUI Optimization: Built natively with SwiftUI. Leverages the latest performance improvements and optimizations for macOS.
- Apple Keychain Integration: Uses Apple's secure password management system. Protects passwords with biometrics (TouchID) for enhanced security.
- Extension Support (Chrome Web Store): Compatibility with popular Chromium extensions. Users can install extensions like Grammarly, LastPass, Honey, and Todoist to customize workflows.
- Power-efficient: Optimized for M1/M2 chips and WebKit. Maximizes battery life on macOS devices.
- Page Suspension: Automatically unloads inactive pages from RAM. Preserves system memory while caching temporary data for quick retrieval.
