Why the page comes first

Satori steps back from the page. Focus hides the tabs and the bar, and Reading mode shows only the article.

Focus mode. The page fills the window and the tab row is hidden. A caption says to point at the top edge to bring the tabs back.

A browser keeps a lot on screen: tabs, buttons, the address bar. Satori keeps those within reach, and lets them step aside when you read.

Focus (⌃⌘S) hides the tabs and the bar. Point at the edge and they come back. Reading mode (⇧⌘R) finds the article on any site and shows it with a theme and a text size you choose. Hide anything (⇧⌘H) removes an element you do not want, and it stays hidden on that site.

Satori also blocks ads and trackers by default, and answers cookie banners with a no. With fewer things on screen, more of the page is visible.

Release notes for Satori 0.9.4

Download Satori for MacSend to my Mac

Translate just the words you selected

Select text, right-click, and read its translation in a small card, worked out on your Mac.

Fold the sidebar away

Tabs down the left can now shrink to a narrow rail of icons, and open again to the width you chose.

Find the page by what it said

History can search the text of pages you read, and the address field finds them too. The switch is off until you turn it on in Settings › Privacy.

Easier to live with

A private tab now says what it keeps. The tab layout switches from a right-click. Focus can sit in the top bar.

Save a video from a page

Right-click a video and choose Save Video. A video that streams in pieces is joined into one file in your downloads folder.

See what Shield blocked

The Shield icon in the address field shows what was blocked on the page, by kind, and whether a cookie banner was closed.

Use Bitwarden in Satori

Pick Bitwarden in Welcome or Settings › Passwords. Satori installs its extension after you read what it may do, and its own suggestions step aside.

Bring your bookmarks and passwords

Welcome brings passwords and bookmarks over from Chrome, Arc, and other Chromium browsers in one click. Safari bookmarks come in as an HTML file.

Nine Soundscapes, composed as they play

Satori composes background sound on your Mac as it plays. Nothing is downloaded, and Soundscapes are off until you turn them on.

Bookmarks in a panel you can search

⌥⌘B opens bookmarks with folders, search across all of them, and sorting. ⌘D adds the page you are on.

A minute of setup

The first time Satori opens, a few short steps set it up the way you like. Every step can be skipped.

Open as many windows as you need

⌘N opens another window with its own tabs and Spaces. Drag a tab out past the edge to move it to a new window.

Satori speaks your Mac's language

The whole interface is translated into Spanish, Japanese, Russian, and Simplified Chinese. Your Mac's language setting chooses.

Links from other apps open in a small Kensho window

A link from another app opens in a small Kensho window first, so you can see the address before the page takes over.

Copy a link without tracking tags

Copy Address (⇧⌘C) strips tracking tags and click IDs from the link. Copy Original Address keeps them.

Select several tabs at once

⌘-click and ⇧-click pick tabs together, to copy, bookmark, move, or close them in one step.

Spaces keep your tabs apart

Each window holds up to nine Spaces, each with its own name, icon, and tabs. ⌘1 to ⌘9 switch between them.

The window wears the site's color

Satori remembers each site's color. The top bar, the sidebar, and the window around the page take it, and a ring on the tab's icon shows loading.

Split View puts two pages side by side

Drag a tab onto another tab or onto the page. A divider sets the width of each page.

What stays on your Mac

Satori has no account, no sync, and no telemetry. Here is where your data is kept, and what leaves the Mac.

Translate a page on your Mac

⇧⌘Y translates the page with Apple's translator, on your Mac. The globe beside Settings holds the language for each site.

Listen to an article

Listen reads an article aloud, paragraph by paragraph. Space pauses it, and it picks up at the same paragraph later.

Idle tabs go to sleep

A tab you have not used for half an hour sleeps and gives its memory back. Keep Awake keeps the tabs you need ready.

Satori is here

Satori is small, fast, and quiet, with one field for addresses and searches.
