Flakes is a macOS browser designed to help users work faster and stay focused by eliminating distractions and providing efficient navigation tools. It offers a clean interface without address bar clutter or tab overload, prioritizing content and productivity.

Key features include keyboard-first navigation with Vim-style controls using h/j/k/l keys, link hints activated with the f key, and comprehensive window management from the keyboard. The command palette (⌘K) provides quick access to search history, commands, URLs, and AI queries. Advanced AI capabilities allow Drift AI to understand open tabs, deliver direct answers across pages, provide real-time translation, and enable deep conversations about viewed content.

Flakes operates with a command palette that centralizes all actions under one shortcut (⌘K), eliminating the need to navigate menus or memorize multiple shortcuts. Keyboard navigation enables full browsing without a mouse, while Focus Mode (⌘Enter) hides all interface elements except content, combined with built-in ad blocking for distraction-free reading.

The browser enhances productivity by reducing context switching through AI integration and streamlined navigation, making it ideal for focused work sessions. It supports use cases like research, content consumption, and multitasking across multiple tabs with AI assistance.

Flakes targets productivity users on macOS, particularly those who prefer keyboard-driven workflows and value performance. It is built with SwiftUI and WebKit for native macOS integration, ensuring fast performance and minimal resource usage.
