Satori is a small, fast, quiet browser for the Mac. It is native on WebKit, the engine behind Safari, and brings no engine of its own. The download is about 6 MB, and the browser stays light by doing less in the background: hidden tabs slow down, and idle ones sleep after half an hour.
Tabs live in Spaces. You can keep up to nine Spaces per window, each with its own name and icon, and switch between them with the number keys. Tabs can sit down the side of the window or across the top, and you switch between the two with one shortcut. Two tabs can share the window in Split View, with a divider that sets the width. A link from another app opens first in a small Kensho window, so you can decide whether to keep the page.
When you want less noise, Focus steps the tabs and the bar aside and leaves the page alone. Reading mode finds the article on the page and sets it in the theme and text size you like, with nothing around it, and can write a short summary on your Mac with Apple Intelligence. Soundscapes play nine sounds, from Focus to Nature, and fade out when a tab plays sound.
Satori is private by default. There is no account, no sync, and no telemetry: your history, tabs, and bookmarks are stored in files on your Mac. Shield, the built-in ad blocker, stops ads and trackers at the network level before they reach the page, and Satori answers cookie banners with no, or with only what the site needs. Copy Address strips tracking tags from the links you share.
You can bring your bookmarks and passwords from Chrome, Arc, Dia, Brave, Edge, Opera, and other Chromium browsers in a few clicks, and keep a site you use every day in the Dock as its own web app. Chrome extensions are switched off for now, except Bitwarden on macOS 15.4 or later. Satori is free, requires macOS 15 or later on an Apple Silicon Mac, and is made by an independent developer.
