Straight Up Browser

For macOS

Your window to the Internet.

Straight Up Browser is the simplest way to use the internet: a small, fast macOS browser you drive from the keyboard. No accounts, no clutter, and no opinions about how you spend your time online.

Built for your keyboard

The browser is primarily keyboard driven, which is why the UI can stay so simple. The goal is to never need your mouse: every tab, search, and page action has a key command, and ⇧⌘H shows the full list any time you forget one.

What you get

Everything starts at the omnibar

Press ⌃Space or ⌘K, type a web address or a search, and go. The omnibar matches your open tabs, history, and bookmarks as you type, so it doubles as a quick switcher.

Reach it from any app

A system-wide hotkey (⌥Space by default) summons the omnibar over whatever you're doing. Search or open a page without hunting for the browser first.

Tabs that stay out of the way

Four tab bar styles, including gone entirely. Jump to any tab with ⌘1⌘9, cycle with ⌃Tab, and bring back a closed tab with ⇧⌘T.

Works like a Mac app should

Open a URL, search the web, or make a new tab straight from Spotlight, the Shortcuts app, or Siri. Find in page, zoom, print, and one-key PDF export are all built in.

No accidental exits

Quitting requires holding ⌘Q for two seconds, so a mistyped shortcut never takes your tabs with it.

Scriptable

A small command-line tool can open pages, run searches, and list tabs as JSON. Handy for scripts and automations.

Straight Up Browser uses WebKit, the same engine as Safari, so pages behave the way your Mac expects. The app is signed and notarized, collects nothing, and phones home to no one.
