Beta 0.1.0 for Mac

A browser for people who make things.

Areion is a native Mac browser that blocks the noise, saves the work you collect, and lets you hand the reins to an agent without fear.

Version 0.1.0 beta · 18.6 MB · Apple silicon · macOS 15 or later

First launch needs one extra click. See how to install

Made for making

Everything a creative day needs, built in.

No extensions to hunt for. The tools you reach for every day are part of the browser, and they look like they belong on a Mac.

Shield. The web, without the noise.

Native blocking for ads, trackers and annoyances, YouTube included. It runs everywhere by default, and you can turn it off for a single site in one click.

  • Ads, trackers and annoyances, counted per page
  • On for everything, off for the sites you choose

Capture. Save a whole project in one click.

On Behance, Dribbble, Pinterest, Instagram and more, Capture finds every image on the page at its original resolution and saves one ZIP named after the project.

  • Original resolution, not the thumbnails
  • Credits kept in a source.txt inside the ZIP

Hand it to an agent, without fear.

Pair Claude Code or Codex and let it work in your real browser. Anything risky stops and waits for you first, and you can stop the agent at any moment.

  • Submitting, paying, sending or turning Shield off always asks you first
  • Stop Agent ends it straight away, from the keyboard

The everyday, done well

A good browser first.

Password vault

Save your logins and fill them on the sites you use, kept in a vault on your Mac.

Tabs your way

Tabs along the top or down the side. Switch whenever you like.

Bring Chrome with you

Import your bookmarks, history and saved passwords from Chrome. Everything stays on your Mac.

Speed test

Check how fast your connection is, right inside the browser.

Install

Up and running in a minute.

This beta isn't notarized by Apple yet, so macOS asks you to confirm it once. Here's exactly what to click.

  1. Download and open the zip

    You get a folder with Areion and a Read Me First.

    Areion-0.1.0-beta.zip
  2. Drag Areion into Applications

    Then double-click it. macOS says it can't check Areion for malicious software. Click Done.

    Done
  3. Allow it in System Settings

    Open System Settings › Privacy & Security, scroll to the bottom and click Open Anyway next to the Areion message. Enter your Mac password.

    Open Anyway
  4. Areion opens

    That's it. You only do this once. New versions come as a new download.

     Ready

Bringing over your Chrome data

Choose File › Import Browsing Data… › Chrome. macOS asks to let Areion use “Chrome Safe Storage”: click Always Allow, which lets Areion read the passwords Chrome saved. Then approve unlocking Areion's own password vault. Bookmarks, history and passwords come across, and all of it stays on your Mac.
