Horse helps to restore my mental context whenever I return to a research problem after a break.

Tabs Suck
Tabs are a windowless casino. And 'tab groups' can't help.
Someone screwed up. Internet browsers got it right the first time. Early explorers tracked each journey with a simple, tree-like hierarchy - so they always knew where they started.
Marketers ruined the internet.
Websites became cash cows to push content and sell products - and they weaponised distraction.
Browsers became transactional.
Your work is an obstacle to an advertising brand that wants you to spend money online.
Tab groups can’t help.
Your browser was built like a windowless casino. But you need a clear view that keeps you focused on your goals.
Trails®
Stay focused with Trails® - an intuitive way to browse and work.
Trails® fix everything. Browse the internet with one simple sidebar that organises every page, task and project inside ‘Trails®’ - nested groups that capture the natural flow of each internet journey.
Trails® establish a simple parent-child hierarchy.
You can name, organise and even add an emoji to any Trail to transform it into a group or folder.
Build a system that suits your workflow and organisational strategy - with Trails®.
Browse with Trails®
Start each journey with a fresh Trail. You can close or open any Trail with a click - so it’s easy to switch tasks and clear your deck.
Explore Side-Trails®
Open each new page in a ‘Side-Trail’ that belongs to a parent Trail - so you can explore complex search journeys in seconds.
Customise your Trails®
Transform your Trails® into a flexible organisation system. Use names and emoji icons to identify each Trail and Side-Trail.
Enjoy a simple sidebar
Horse offers a minimalist search experience, with your Trails® in one simple sidebar - and a vast expanse of screen real estate.
Folders
Use Trails® as folders. Just add a fresh Trail, set an emoji and a name - then drag-and-drop in pages for any website or tool.
Groups
Create groups for topics and use Side-Trails® as sub-topics to create a page organisation system that’s more flexible than bookmarks.
Horse helps me navigate the labyrinth that is the apple developer documentation.

Productivity
Achieve more with an internet browser that’s built to help you win.
Horse is an action-focused browser. Our business model is simple. We build features that help you to work faster - and we hope that you’ll tell your friends to download Horse.
You can scroll down to our product roadmap to discover our plans for the future.
Here are some of our favourite features.
Dark reader
Switch on ‘dark reader’ to intelligently remove white space and protect your health - whenever you need to work late.
Keyboard shortcuts
Navigate faster with built-in keyboard shortcuts, a minimalist browser - and an organisation system that puts you in control.
Download manager
Manage and track your download queue with the simple and intuitive download manager that’s already built into Horse Browser.
Built-in search
Search straight from any Trail. Launch a new tab and type your query to get a fast answer from your favourite search engine.
Trail control
Trails open each link in a child tab by default. But you can disable this function - or disable Trails at a domain level, eg. for web apps.
And more…
‘Undo’ for tab close. ‘Find’ within page. Popup support. Picture-in-picture support - and many new features under development.
Horse is a game-changer. It's my default docs viewer and my go-to for research tasks.

Privacy
Protect your privacy with Horse - the browser that fights adverts.
Horse has your back. Explore the internet with a browser that blocks trackers, defends your data - and gives you total search engine freedom.
Most new internet browsers are developed on a codebase that was built by a multi-billion dollar advertising company. Yikes.
Horse was designed to help you finish tasks. And it’s built in the European Union - so it complies with the EU’s tough data privacy laws.
Your data will never be a Horse product.
Privacy assured
Relax. Horse will never collect, track or sell your data. Our business model is simple: build and sell an awesome browser.
Adblock
Browse with confidence. Horse will quietly block any website adverts and trackers to protect your privacy and personal data.
Password manager
Store your passwords directly in Horse so you can access any websites with minimal friction.
Search engine freedom
Search with your favourite engine. Choose from Google, DuckDuckGo, Bing, Yahoo, Ecosia, Brave, Baidu, Yandex, Kagi, and Qwant.
EU compliance
Horse is built and maintained in the EU, so it complies with the world’s toughest data privacy standards - like GDPR.
No account needed
We don’t care who you are. Just buy a licence key, download Horse - and browse in private. We’ll never bother you again.

Still obsessing about how there is actually a better UX that we could be using in our browsers. Horse has quickly become my go-to browser for focused work.
