What is Nook Browser?
A fast, minimal browser with a sidebar-first design. Open-source. Private by default. Better Arc without the noise.
Features:
- Sidebar-first navigation – vertical tabs that feel natural and uncluttered.
- Performance – optimized with modern macOS APIs for speed and low memory use.
- Minimal, modern UI – focused on content, not chrome.
- Spaces, not tab sprawl: Group work, hobbies, and rabbit-holes into calm Rooms. Switch with one shortcut.
- Local-first & private: Your data lives on your device. Export and delete with one click.
- Open by design: Sane defaults, community-led roadmap, extensions without lock-in.
