## What is Web Canvas?

Drowning in browser tabs? Web Canvas gives the web room to breathe. Instead of juggling tabs, create an infinite canvas where websites, images, and ideas live together in your own visual workspace; pan, zoom, and connect everything you're researching in one place.

WORKING CANVAS
• Pan and zoom freely across your workspace
• See all your research and browsing at a glance
• Navigate spatially instead of linearly through tabs
• Turn on a canvas grid to stay oriented as you pan and zoom
• Recenter with one tap to snap back to where you started
• Sessions: name, save, and reload your canvases; return to your research anytime
• Share a saved session link; tap it to reopen that canvas on your device

VISUAL BROWSING
• Add multiple browser windows to your canvas
• Images show in your workspace
• See visual connections between related content
• Arrange everything exactly how you think

DESIGNED FOR RESEARCH & EXPLORATION
Whether you're researching a project, planning a trip, or diving deep into a topic, Web Canvas lets you organize the web your way. Keep related websites close together, create visual clusters of information, and never lose track of that one tab again.

NATURAL GESTURES
• Drag windows anywhere on the canvas
• Pinch to zoom in and out
• Pan with one finger to navigate and the canvas glides to a smooth stop
• Two-finger trackpad swipe to pan on iPad
• Full-screen mode for focused reading
• Read Mode / Lock: follow links in place without new windows

POWERFUL FEATURES
• Share a URL from another app and open it on your canvas in one step
• Full web browsing and your favorite search engines
• Search history that remembers your journey
• Dark mode support
• Optimized for both iPhone and iPad
• Smooth 60fps animations

MAKE IT YOURS
• Pin and reorder the toolbar buttons you use most
• Choose your primary color and theme
• Pick your default search engine
• Start of RTL handling and translations

Perfect for:
• Research projects and deep dives
• Visual learners and thinkers
• Anyone drowning in browser tabs
• Students organizing study materials
• Designers collecting inspiration
• Writers gathering references

Web Canvas isn't just another browser... It's a new way to think about the web. Your research deserves more than a list of tabs. Give it space to breathe.
