An AI browser that thinks with you

Zeed reasons over your tabs, memory, and the page you’re reading, and can take actions when you ask.
Your data never leaves your device by design. Chromium-based. Pick any LLM (GPT / Claude / Gemini).

Vertical tabs keep 100+ tabs tidy · sidebar graphs your context · tools act when you ask

Five things Zeed promises

The browser, back on your side.

Thinks with you

Tabs with a brain

Open tabs, past notes, the paragraph you’re reading — all stitched into context. The sidebar continuously surfaces what matters now, and chat answers on top of that context instead of from scratch.

— Maps tabs, notes, and topics into five layers (Profile → TabGroup → Tab → Topic → Memory)
— Highlights shift based on what you’re actually working on
— RSS, bookmarks, and tasks all feed the same brain

Takes action

Hands-on when you want it

Tell the sidebar “find this book on Amazon and get to the checkout screen” and Zeed opens the tab, searches, fills forms, and stops before submitting. Any purchase, post, or delete always waits for your confirmation.

— Three modes per message — Auto (decide) / Ask (answer only) / Search (Web search)
— Buy, send, delete, and publish always require explicit approval
— Prompt-injection from hostile pages is blocked structurally

Can’t see your data

Your data never touches our servers

Memory, history, bookmarks — all stored locally. Telemetry is two anonymous events, opt-in, default off. Other AI browsers stream your activity to their cloud. Zeed literally can’t, by construction.

— Memory / history / bookmarks live in local storage and SQLite only
— Private mode disables AI entirely — runs as a plain browser
— MPL-2.0 source on GitHub. Read it, fork it, patch it

Your LLM, your bill

Bring your own model

Other AI browsers lock you to their provider and charge $20/mo. Zeed uses OpenRouter, so you pick from 300+ models (GPT / Claude / Gemini / Llama 3 / Qwen…) and pay the provider directly. No markup.

— Models are swappable — pick one per task (coding / writing / local languages)
— MCP-compatible, so your Claude Desktop / Cursor tools come with you
— Heavy users pay less — Zeed takes zero cut on LLM spend

One-click migration

From Chrome, continued

Chromium under the hood. All 190,000+ Web Store extensions, your bookmarks, saved passwords, autofill, and site compatibility work out of the box. Make it your daily driver, not a side-experiment.

— Your Chrome profile is read-only — go back whenever you want
— IMEs and OS integration behave like standard Chromium
— Turn AI off and you have plain Chromium, nothing more

Against other AI browsers

The difference starts with intent.

Atlas / Comet / Fellou / Opera Neon ship in-house LLMs and stream your activity to their cloud. Zeed runs on your LLM key, on your device.

Roadmap

What’s next.

Shipping

Linux (Arch AUR + Ubuntu/Debian .deb)

Chromium base, sidebar AI, five-layer Context Map, MCP, 300+ LLMs. Ready as a daily driver today.

Beta

macOS (Apple Silicon, unsigned beta)

Now available as an unsigned beta .dmg. Signed + notarized build is next, once Apple Developer enrollment clears.

Later

iPhone · multi-device sync · more to come

Order and timing depend on how the macOS launch lands.

FAQ

Eight common questions.

How is Zeed different from Comet / Atlas / Dia?

▾

Three things. (1) Your data stays on your device by design — others stream to their AI cloud. (2) You pick the LLM — others lock you in. (3) Turn AI off and Zeed is just Chromium, so you can leave without friction.

Can I migrate from Chrome?

▾

Yes. Chromium-based, so all 190,000+ Web Store extensions, bookmarks, saved passwords, and autofill carry over. Your Chrome profile is read-only — if you don’t like Zeed, go back.

Where does my data live?

▾

On your device only — localStorage and SQLite. Memory, history, bookmarks, chat logs never leave. Anonymous telemetry is two fields, opt-in, default off. Private mode disables AI entirely.

Which models can I use?

▾

Any of 300+ on OpenRouter: OpenAI GPT, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, open models like Llama 3 / Qwen / DeepSeek. Pick one per task (coding / writing / translation).

How much does it cost?

▾

Zeed is free, no ads. LLM usage you pay directly to the provider. Zeed takes no cut, so heavy users pay the lowest possible rate. Optional paid tiers ($5/mo+) for multi-device sync and cloud features are coming.

Which OS is supported?

▾

Linux today (Arch AUR + Ubuntu/Debian .deb). macOS is next. iPhone and cloud sync follow, depending on macOS reception.

How does Zeed’s Memory work?

▾

Zeed extracts user intent, decisions, and discoveries from pages and chat, then organizes them across five layers (Profile → TabGroup → Tab → Topic → Memory). The AI reads from this instead of asking you from scratch every time. Raw logs are not retained.

Isn’t letting AI drive the browser risky?

▾

Any buy / send / delete / publish requires your approval. Prompt-injection from hostile pages is blocked structurally. If that’s still too much, private mode disables AI entirely.
