WebBuddy

macOS / Utilitaires

A hotkey-driven web browser for focused workflows.

Launch WebBuddy from any app with ⌘⇧L to search the web, preview links, or grab reference material, without breaking your flow or cluttering your main browser.

It’s built for Mac users who live in code editors, Mail, Messages, Slack, Notion... anywhere you need side-access to the web but would prefer not get distracted by it.

Use it to:
• Look up a code snippet or function doc without leaving your IDE
• Find a coffee shop location shared in a message
• Translate a line of text in an email or document without opening another tab
• Quickly search Stack Overflow, Wikipedia, or YouTube
• Preview links from Messages, Slack or Mastodon without switching context

Press Escape when you’re done. No new tabs. No window juggling. No distractions. You'll have dramatically less clutter in your main browser.

If you need the whole feature set of your workhorse browser, no problem — just hand over the page to a web browser of your choice with a couple of clicks.

WebBuddy gives you just enough browser, only when you need it. Because your focus and flow are precious.
