Focus trails
Pages opened from one another form a connected trail. Focus that trail in the sidebar, then return to all your tabs whenever you like. Search across spaces with ⌘K.
A LITTLE ROOM TO EXPLORE
Vigil Lookout
A native Mac browser made for a more thoughtful web. Keep your tabs in spaces, follow connected trails, and hold a reference beside the page you’re exploring.

Reference panels
Keep one page beside the main page while you continue browsing. Swap them when your direction changes. Quiet controls leave room for the web itself.
Tab recovery
Save source links with a short purpose note, resume them in a new space, or export a Markdown source list for Mind or Prompter. Page contents are not copied.

Installation
Choose Apple Silicon for M-series Macs or Intel for an Intel Mac. Open the DMG and drag Vigil Lookout into Applications.
These builds are ad-hoc signed and integrity verified, with linked SHA-256 checksums. They are not Apple Developer ID signed or notarized. macOS may require you to approve opening Lookout in Privacy & Security. Do not disable Gatekeeper globally.
Platform support
Real WebKit navigation, downloads with save dialogs, find, print/PDF, page zoom, pinned tabs, and private windows. Regular tabs, history, and trails stay on this Mac. Private windows save none of them; files you download still remain.
Lookout is an independent application, not Apple’s Safari app. Safari extensions, Safari data import, iCloud Keychain integration, content blocking, and cloud sync are not included in v0.1. Existing Venture builds for Windows and Linux remain separate.
