This is Sumi's first public Alpha release: a native macOS browser built with SwiftUI, AppKit, and system WebKit.

Download

  • Sumi-0.0.1-macos-arm64.dmg — Apple silicon Macs.
  • Sumi-0.0.1-macos-x86_64.dmg — Intel Macs.

Both artifacts are compiled independently, mounted, architecture-checked, and code-signature-verified by the repository release tooling. The Intel artifact has not yet had a manual pass on physical Intel hardware.

Highlights

  • Tabs, windows, profiles, spaces, pinned items, Essentials, nested folders, Glance, and durable two-to-four-page split groups.
  • Command palette, bookmarks, history, downloads, Reader presentation, session restore, themes, media controls, and memory/energy modes.
  • Browser import, Zen export, and logical Sumi backup/restore.
  • Profile-specific WebKit data partitions, private browsing, permissions, cleanup, Global Privacy Control, and prepared content-blocking bundles.
  • Experimental Safari Web Extension workflows tested with Bitwarden, Proton Pass, Raindrop.io, and Userscripts.
  • Optional, off-by-default Live Folders and Boosts.

Current Boundaries

  • The app is development-signed, not Developer ID signed or notarized. If macOS says the app is damaged, move it to /Applications and remove the quarantine flag:

    sudo xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Sumi.app"
    open "/Applications/Sumi.app"
  • Sumi is not yet recommended as a primary browser.

  • Safari Web Extension compatibility is workflow-specific; 1Password's native-core path is limited by a host entitlement outside Safari.

  • There is no Sumi-specific Apple Passwords/iCloud Keychain integration, and system AutoFill behavior has not completed release E2E validation.

  • Backup v1 excludes passwords, cookies, WebKit website data, history, extension state, downloads, and preferences.

  • The first appcast remains empty; updating from this build will be validated with a later release.

See the README, roadmap, and extension matrix for the exact current scope.
