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.

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.

Sencha Tea

Sencha (煎茶) is a type of Japanese ryokucha (緑茶, green tea) which is prepared by infusing the processed whole tea leaves in hot water. This is as opposed to matcha (抹茶), powdered Japanese green tea, where the green tea powder is mixed with hot water and therefore the leaf itself is included in the beverage. Sencha is the most popular tea in Japan. It represents about 80 percent of the tea produced in Japan.

You don't need a todo list, or a notes app. Your browser can do these things. But it should be more integrated than simply loading a website. This is where Horse comes in, with built-in productivity features that make your browser a powerful tool.
