What's in the build

Persistent browsing contexts.

Each Space is a self-contained world. Tabs, groups, splits, scroll positions, annotations, everything restored when you come back.

Your exploration, as a graph.

Step Trail records how you got to each page and where you branched. It's a visual map of your thinking, not a flat history list.

Native annotations, no extension.

Highlight any passage, pick a color, drop a note. Everything lives in your Space, searchable as data.

Search across your entire Space.

Cmd+F now searches every page you've visited in a Space, every annotation, every trail node. Powered by a local SQLite full-text index.

Two pages, side by side.

A real 2-pane split with independent URL bars, independent navigation, and full Space integration. Drag a tab to create one. Close it to dissolve it.

Frequently asked

Why is there a waitlist?
We open access in waves so we can stay close to the first users. You'll receive your install link as soon as your spot opens, usually within a few weeks.
When will I get access?
Early access opens in waves. Users on the list the longest are prioritized. We don't gate access by payment or intent surveys.
Will Step be available on Windows?
Step is macOS only for now. Windows is on the roadmap. Click the Windows button on the home page to show your interest and get notified when it ships.
Will my Chrome extensions work?
Yes. Step is built on Chromium, the same engine behind Chrome. Your password manager, ad blocker, dev tools, all of them carry over.
