Drowning in browser tabs? Web Canvas gives the web room to breathe. Instead of juggling tabs, create an infinite canvas where websites, images, and your own notes 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 • Sticky notes: jot a thought right next to the site it belongs to • Connect any two items with a line to map how your research fits together • Color-code anything: give windows a color to group by theme, priority, or status • 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, leave yourself a note about why something matters, 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 Your research deserves more than a list of tabs. Give it space to breathe.
