01
the blanc island
One small control surface. The whole browser.
Search, tabs, navigation, the current site, and page controls live together, so the page stays in front.
Meet the islandthe browser, reduced
Less browser. More of what you opened it for.
Blanc keeps the everyday browser tools close without building a dashboard around them — and ships no AI assistant hovering over any of it. Choose the part of your session you want to make quieter.
02
side by side, briefly
Open a reference without leaving your place.
Glance opens a temporary page beside the one you are using, then gets out of the way when you are done. It stays local and is never restored or synced.
03
built in
Site controls that say what they do.
Blanc Blocker stops ads and known trackers at the browser level. Its shield tells you what was blocked here, whether the site uses HTTPS, and lets you turn blocking off for that one site.

a clean trail
Private tabs that stay out of the record.
Private pages do not enter Blanc history, session restore, or reopen-closed. Close the private chip when you are finished.

keyboard first
One shortcut to move through your whole session.
Command or Control L blends open tabs, Favorites, history, and Named Groups. Type / to run browser commands, or reopen a recently closed tab or group without rebuilding your place.
Explore commands06
named groups
Name the task. Keep its tabs together.
Named Groups keep related tabs in one cluster. Blanc shows the active group on the island while the others stay close, folded away from the page.

named workspaces Patron
Save a whole window. Return to it by name.
Named Workspaces save a window’s tabs and groups, switch the set in place, and keep it up to date automatically. Active Patrons can create and save them; anything already saved remains available if membership ends.
08
your preferred view
An optional vertical tab rail. The island stays.
Move tabs to a resizable left rail when a persistent overview helps. Nothing reloads, and the island remains the only address and command surface.

memory, on your terms
Tabs you are not using give their memory back.
Leave a tab alone and Blanc hands its page back to your computer, then reloads it when you return. You choose the delay; anything half-finished is left awake.
How quiet tabs work10
profiles, windows, devices
Separate contexts without losing continuity.
Keep browsing identities separate with local profiles and open more than one Blanc window. From Personal, opt-in sync shows what each device has open — end-to-end encrypted, read-only, and never one merged live session.
How tab sync works11
private by architecture
Security that is structural, not bolted on.
Sandboxed pages, pinned network-level blocking, signed releases, device-bound Touch ID passkeys, and optional user-invoked 1Password fill on macOS. The quiet parts, documented.

Keep the browser free. Get more room to move.
Blanc’s core stays free. Patron adds cross-platform Named Workspaces and three macOS Dock colorways while helping fund an independent browser.
