Made for Mac
A browser made for the Mac, and only the Mac.
Tern is written for macOS 26 and nothing else. It looks and moves like the rest of your Mac, keeps your Spaces in step through iCloud, and updates itself.
Free · macOS 26 or later · Signed and notarized by Apple
Native, all the way down
- macOS 26 and Liquid Glass
- Built with the system frameworks, so it follows your Mac: the glass, the type, Reduce Motion, and dark and light.
- Apple silicon and Intel
- One app for both.
- Signed and notarized
- Built with our Developer ID and checked by Apple, so it opens without warnings.
- Updates itself
- Tern looks for a new version once a day and asks before it installs one.
- Keychain
- Your Claude key and site passwords stay in your Keychain.
Spaces, for how you actually work
- A Space for each part of your life
- Work, home, a trip, a client. Each has its own tabs, sign-ins, colour and agent.
- Pinned tabs and folders
- At the top of each Space. A closed pinned tab sleeps in its place instead of disappearing.
- In step across your Macs
- Spaces, pinned tabs and folders sync through iCloud.
- Share a Space
- Colleagues get its pinned links, folders and what its agent remembers. Their own tabs and sign-ins stay theirs.
