Hominis is a Firefox-based browser where pages live on an infinite canvas — arranged, grouped, and remembered the way you think. No vault to maintain. No filing homework.
01 · Connections
Every tile remembers which tile opened it. Add a tag when you feel like it — or don’t. Hominis derives the threads between your pages from how you actually browsed, and draws them right on the canvas. Nothing to file, nothing to garden.
provenance — written once, when a tile opens anothertags — yours, optionalthe lens — press Escape, it clears first-in-line
02 · Focus
Dive into any tile and it becomes the whole window — a real browser surface, in the shape you think in. Six horizontal layouts, six vertical ones, and a zen mode that shows nothing but the page.

03 · Workspaces & identities
Each workspace is its own canvas with its own identity — cookies, logins, the lot. Your work account lives in the work workspace and nowhere else, without per-tab container fiddling.

identity = cookies, logins, container — set per workspace, shareable across themchips and identity names appear only once you have two or more
04 · Thinking tools
Drop a note tile next to your sources. Open a scratch IDE over a real folder. Sketch on a board — or straight onto the canvas. Not a second app: more tiles.

05 · Smart suggestions — in development
A small on-device model that proposes — never imposes: cleaner tile titles, descriptive filenames, names for groups that formed on their own. Every suggestion arrives pre-filled but editable, with one-click revert. Nothing ever leaves your machine.
In development — not in the build you’ll download today. Shown here as a concept, not as product UI.

06 · History
Search with a real grammar, scope by workspace and identity, scan a calendar of your months, and replay whole journeys — the chains of pages that belong together.

07 · The basics
It’s still Firefox underneath. Extensions ride each tile. Media has real controls wherever its favicon shows. Private mode is unmistakably private. Bookmarks, downloads — all there, all first-class.
Forced violet, every surface. Nothing serialized — provably.
