[!NOTE] Ora is still in active development and is not ready for daily use yet.

Overview

Ora is a macOS browser built with SwiftUI, AppKit, and WebKit. The project aims for a native, low-friction browsing experience without layering on unnecessary product surface area.

Highlights

• Native macOS UI
• WebKit-based browsing
• Built-in content blocking and privacy protections
• Search engine customization
• URL suggestions and quick launcher
• Developer-focused features

Quick Start

git clone https://github.com/the-ora/browser.git
cd browser
./scripts/setup.sh
open Ora.xcodeproj

The setup script installs required tooling, installs git hooks, and regenerates the Xcode project.

Development

• Main app target: ora
• Project configuration is managed with XcodeGen in project.yml
• Regenerate the project after config changes with xcodegen
• Run tests in Xcode with Product > Test or via xcodebuild test -scheme ora -destination "platform=macOS"
