A minimalist, elegant, and productivity-focused browser. Phantom was designed to be a lightweight reference tool, always at hand while you work on other tasks.
Phantom abandons the standard browser look for a modern native app experience:
- Frameless Window: Interface without borders or system title bars, maximizing content space.
- Minimalist Identity: Custom icon reflecting its stealthy, focused nature.
- Smart Favicons: The header and dashboard automatically display site icons (favicons) with a resilient fallback system.
- Dynamic Title: The header acts as a smart tab, updating the title as you navigate.
- Workspaces Dashboard: Save and organize your frequent URLs with custom aliases.
- Always on Top: Pin the window over other apps with a single click for continuous reference.
- Bitwarden Sidebar: Integrated password manager via a resizable sidebar.
- Elegant Error Handling: Custom error screen for failed connections or invalid URLs.
- Automatic Updates: Detects new versions on startup and offers in-app download and install without leaving the app.
- Quick Shortcuts: Instantly close the application with
Ctrl + Q.
- Engine: Electron + Chromium
- Frontend: React + Vite
- Styling: Tailwind CSS (Modern Dark Theme)
- Icons: Lucide Icons + DuckDuckGo Favicon Service
- Persistence:
