Horse Browser
Feeling Overwhelmed by Normal Browsers?
Forty-seven tabs open. You can't close any of them. That's not your fault. Your browser was designed wrong in 1991. Horse replaces tabs with Trails®. Nothing disappears. Your brain isn't broken. Your browser is.
Features
Built by someone with ADHD
No streaks, no shame timer, no “you've been browsing for 73 minutes.” Quiet by default.
Tabs are gone
Replaced with Trails®: a branching map of every page you open. Nothing hides.
Working memory, externalized
A psychotherapist with ADHD calls this externalizing executive function. We call it relief.

In their own words
Loved by people who think in tangents.
I just look to the left and clearly see how I got here. It's lifted the mental load of organizing my research while I'm researching.
Four months in, switched over from Arc. A simple browser where I can organise around my projects and be more intentional.
Been using Horse for over a year now. Love it! Pascal's attention to detail with the UX is what makes this a pleasure to use.
This is the first time I paid for a browser, and I do not regret a single dollar of it.
Horse Browser is unlike anything I've ever seen in this space.
I tried a web browser without tabs, bookmarks, or navigation, and loved it.
The Problem
Normal Browsers aren't built for neurodivergent minds.
You think forty open tabs is your fault. It isn't. Tabs assume strong working memory and linear thinking. ADHD and AuDHD brains have neither. The cognitive tax compounds all day.
Forty-seven open tabs
Each one a thought you're afraid to lose. You can't close them. You can't find them. The browser becomes the overwhelm you opened it to escape.
An invisible daily tax
Tabs hide. Your brain has to remember what's behind each identical favicon. ADHD affects working memory most. We're being asked to do all day what we're structurally worst at.
Lost thoughts, every day
Out of sight, out of mind isn't a figure of speech for ADHD brains. It's a literal description of working memory. Close a tab and the thought is gone. Sometimes for good.
I have not clicked 'back' in a long time with Horse.
Work with your brain
Say goodbye to Tab Hell and organise your internet with Trails®.
Click a link. It branches. The page you came from is still there. Your browsing turns into a literal map of your thinking, drawn automatically while you browse.
Tangents aren't failures of focus. They're how your brain finds good ideas.
Collapse what you're not using. Expand it later, exactly where you left it. Object permanence as a feature.
Your brain isn't broken. Your browser is.
Rabbit holes are the point
Curiosity isn't a failure of discipline. The rabbit hole is where the good idea lives. Trails make it traceable.
Externalized memory
Nothing disappears unless you delete it. Your working memory gets to do less. That's the actual feature.
Collapse, don't close
Fold a Trail away. It doesn't leave. Tomorrow, expand it. Everything where you left it. A tidy desk you didn't have to tidy.
Side-by-side, on purpose
Compare flights, products, papers, recipes. The options stay visible, in the order you found them. Decisions get easier when nothing disappears.
Really happy with Horse Browser. After a couple of weeks it fully replaced Arc for me. I'm feeling more productive and organized with it.
Externalize your thinking
Your browser should remember things so you don't have to.
Every open tab is a thought you're holding in your head. Trails put it on the screen instead. Pages stay where you left them, including after you close the laptop.

Nothing disappears
Pages stay visible by default. The thought you were afraid to lose is on the screen, not in your head.
Switch contexts in one click
Fold the project you're not on. Expand the one you are. Tomorrow, swap them again.
Organize how you want
Name your Trails. Add emojis. Organize however makes sense to you. There's no right way, which is somewhat the point.
Quiet by default
Ad blocking on. No popups, no notifications, no autoplay. A quiet corner of the internet, because most of the rest is loud at you for money.
Horse Browser has been my daily driver since the day I downloaded it.
How people use Horse
Whatever you're doing online, Horse keeps the shape of it.
A quiet corner of the internet. Whatever you came to do, Trails draw the shape of it while you do it.
Falling down rabbit holes
Your brain wants to branch. Let it. The rabbit hole stays drawn behind you when you come back up.
Researching anything serious
Papers, comparison shopping, trip planning. See how you got from A to Z, in the order you thought it.
Running multiple projects
Dashboards, docs, client work. Each project gets its own Trail. Fold it when you switch.
Whatever else is happening today
Dentist appointment, an article, an Animal Crossing wiki spiral, the slow process of finding a chair that doesn't fight you. Different Trails. Nothing lost when you switch.
