a browser that feels like home.
loaf is a free Mac browser built with SwiftUI, AppKit, and WebKit. vertical tabs, profiles, split view, iCloud sync, a customizable startpage, and a miniplayer keep your browsing within reach.
tray
quick access to important stuff
loaf’s tray is a fast and easy way to access downloads, favorites, history, and more. it puts actionable content at the flick of your trackpad or the click of your mouse, paired with a smooth animation.

miniplayer
media, always within reach
the miniplayer allows you to control media your tabs are playing, with independent volume control and built-in play/pause, skip, and seek.

profiles
keep workspaces separate
loaf lets you create multiple different profiles, each with their own history, cookies, and appearance. it’s easy to switch between them with just a swipe.

extension support
experimental Chrome extensions
although loaf uses WebKit, it features experimental extension support with extensions from the Chrome Web Store. advanced extensions may be broken, but many popular extensions work well.

native performance
easy on your battery & system resources
loaf’s architecture enables fast browsing through the deep optimization and system integration that WebKit (the same engine that powers Safari) offers. it uses native frameworks and is written entirely in Swift.
