Journey Features
Core features come built in, with no extra setup.
Privacy and security
Powerful protection built in, with no extra setup.
Block ads, trackers, and cookies
Blocks ads, trackers, and third-party cookies by default using public filter lists like EasyList, uBlock Origin, and List-KR. Lists are fetched directly by your device, and you can turn them off per site.
Anti-fingerprinting
Adds per-site, per-session noise to canvas, audio, and graphics values to prevent device identification. It's applied even more strongly in private windows.
Secure DNS (DoH)
Connects over encrypted DNS like Cloudflare, Quad9, and Mullvad. If a server can't be reached, it automatically switches to another server or your default DNS.
Dangerous site warnings
Fetches phishing and malware lists every two hours and checks them on your device. Addresses you visit are never sent off your device.
Always HTTPS
Connects over HTTPS, and warns you before opening sites that don't support it.
Do Not Track · parameter stripping
Sends the GPC (Do Not Track) signal on every request, and strips tracking parameters like utm, fbclid, and gclid when you open or copy links.
Privacy dashboard
See at a glance how many ads and trackers you've blocked, how much data you've saved, and which domains were blocked most.
Private window
A window that leaves no history, cookies, or storage behind. When you close the last private tab, all its data is erased, and AI agents can't access it either. (⌘⇧N)
Tabs and Tickets
Organize lots of tabs into workspaces.
Tickets
Split groups of tabs into spaces like work, personal, and study. Each Ticket has its own name, icon, and theme, and separate-account Tickets let you sign in to the same site with different accounts.
Favorites
A set of sites shared across every Ticket. Open them instantly with ⌘1–⌘9, and links that lead elsewhere open as a preview.
Pinned tabs · folders
Remembers the address at the moment you pinned it, and shows a marker when you navigate away so you can return in one click. Organize them into folders. (⌘D)
Live Folders
Folders that automatically collect new updates from RSS, GitHub PRs and issues, YouTube, Hacker News, Reddit, and more. Filter them with include and exclude keywords.
Auto cleanup
Unpinned "today" tabs close automatically when left unused for a while. Pinned tabs, favorites, and tabs playing sound are left alone.
Split screen
Divide one window into up to 2×2 (4 panes) to view side by side. Drag a tab in, or open it straight from the command bar.
Three layouts
Choose from sidebar, standalone address bar, or top bar (Chrome-style).
Fast navigation
Tools that make searching, browsing, and moving around faster.
Command bar · address bar
Search, enter addresses, find history and tabs, ask AI, and run commands all in one place. Open results in this tab, a new tab, or a split screen. (⌘T·⌘L)
Journey Boat (mini window)
Opens links from other apps, or login and payment popups, in a small window with a thin bar. Drag the bar to move it into a tab in your main window.
Quick search (global)
Bring up a Boat with a search box from a global shortcut, even while using another app. (default ⌘⇧Space)
Porthole (link preview)
Opens "open in new tab" links in a panel over the current page, without creating a tab. Keep it as a new tab if you like it, or close it with Esc.
Auto PiP · playback card
Leave a video tab and it follows you in a small window on screen; when music or video is playing, a control card appears in the sidebar. Return and it goes back to where it was.
Gmail preview
Keep Gmail in Favorites to see your unread count, hover to view the list, and open messages directly.
Translation
Translate pages in other languages sentence by sentence or paragraph by paragraph (18 languages), and refine them in context with AI or process them entirely with local AI.
Spell check
Underlines misspelled words in input fields and suggests corrections. Supports Korean and English.
AI
Put the AI you already use to work right inside the browser.
AI panel
A chat panel that answers using the current page and your open tabs (up to 5). Supports document and image attachments and switching AI and models. (⌘E)
Summarize · key points · explain simply
Summarize long text and pull out key points, or break down difficult content in plain language.
AI search
Answers based on the content of your open tabs or web search results, and shows the pages it referenced as sources.
Ask · rewrite from a selection
Select text on a page to apply refine, spell check, summarize, or translate right away. Text in input fields can be inserted in place with "rewrite" and undone.
Browse (agent)
AI searches the web and reads or operates pages. The steps it took and the pages it referenced are shown alongside, and it can't change sensitive settings.
Task pages
Ask it to "write across several pages" and AI fills the pages in without hitting publish. You review, edit, and approve.
Connect CLI accounts
Use your already-installed Claude Code and Codex CLI accounts as-is, with no API key. Local models (Ollama, LM Studio) and API keys are supported too.
Developer features
Tools for development and debugging, built in.
Responsive preview
Show mobile, tablet, and desktop views side by side on one screen, with scrolling and navigation synced. (⌘⇧M)
Local dev servers
Automatically detects running Vite, Next.js, and Storybook servers and opens them right from the sidebar.
Developer tools
DevTools (⌥⌘I·F12), device emulation, and per-page console logs.
Remote debugging
Connect Playwright and Puppeteer over localhost:9222 (CDP). It turns on just once, when you need it.
AI agent connection (MCP)
Connect editors in one click so Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and others can read and operate tabs.
Internal diagnostics pages
journey:// diagnostics pages like task manager, GPU, and network are built in.
Widget · extension SDK
Build your own new-tab widgets and Live Folder sources from a single folder (widget.json + index.html) to extend what Journey can do.
Storage and startup
Your data is stored on your device.
Passwords · passkeys
Stores standard WebAuthn passkeys and passwords locally, encrypted in your OS keychain. A security check flags weak, reused, and leaked passwords.
Biometric authentication
Authenticate with Touch ID (coming soon) and Windows Hello. Per Mac's app authentication process, you'll need to enter your password until authentication is set up.
Import
Bring in the bookmarks and passwords you used in Chrome, Firefox, Arc, and others without exporting. Arc Spaces are moved over as Tickets.
Cleanup on exit
Choose which of history, cookies, and cache to delete on exit, and automatically clear records older than a period you set.
Chrome extensions
Install and use extensions from the Chrome Web Store as-is. Side panels and native messaging are supported too. (⌘⇧E)
Encrypted sync (coming soon)
For Plus subscribers, sync across devices stays secure through encryption.
