Built on WebKit.
Built to feel at home.
Chrome, Brave, Edge, and Arc each bring along Chromium. Cherone uses Apple’s own WKWebView instead—the rendering foundation macOS already ships, secures, and updates.

The browsing fundamentals
Serious where it counts.
Delightful everywhere else.
Professional-grade browsing, with the small conveniences and personality that mass-market browsers stopped making room for.
01 COMMAND BAR
⌘K tab: history: note:
One box. Everything.
Search URLs, tabs, history, bookmarks, notes, downloads, live headlines, and commands—fuzzy-ranked together.

Notebook Ruled paper
A sidebar that adapts.
Resize it down to favicons, tint it your color, pin what matters, or turn on the pale-yellow Notebook look.

Every site, understood.
See connection details, Shields, site data, page zoom, and permissions together from the address bar.
04 ICLOUD SYNC
Your browser, across your Macs.
Opt in by category for bookmarks, notes, and site settings. Cherone keeps syncing automatically and recovers cleanly when iCloud changes.
05 EVERYDAY POWER
Built for the way you work.
Split view, Reader Mode, scrolling screenshots, rich notes, bookmark folders, granular history controls, and a real download shelf.
06 PERMISSIONS
Permission means permission.
Clear prompts for camera, microphone, autoplay, pop-ups, and app links—with Allow Once, This Visit, Always, or Block.
A browser with a soul
Serious foundation.
Unexpected rooms.
Check a score, read your horoscope, make a QR code, catch up on history, or turn the whole browser into a fireplace. Cherone leaves space for useful things—and wonderfully unnecessary ones.
