Everything you need to know about Island Browser.
Island Browser is a lightweight macOS app that gives you a floating browser window that stays on top of all other applications. It lives in your menubar and can be toggled with a global hotkey, perfect for keeping references visible while you work.
Currently, Island Browser is macOS only. It's built natively with Swift and SwiftUI for the best possible experience on Mac. We may explore other platforms in the future.
Every session in Island Browser is completely private. No browsing history, cookies, or cache is ever saved. When you close the browser, everything is wiped clean — like incognito mode, but always on.

Absolutely. There are no contracts or commitments. Cancel your subscription at any time and you'll retain access until the end of your billing period.
Island Browser doesn't collect any browsing data, analytics, or personal information. It's a simple, privacy-first tool. Your browsing stays on your machine and is erased every session.
