Broadway Download

Cut across

Broadway is a browser for the Mac, named for the one street that ignores Manhattan's grid. It gives each side of your day a space of its own and keeps up with your pull requests, meetings and agents.

Broadway's window in dark mode: a near-black sidebar, a little see-through and grainy, with pinned tiles, a folder called New York Trip and loose tabs beside a Wikipedia article about Manhattan's street plan. Broadway's window in light mode: the same sidebar with pinned tiles, a folder called New York Trip and loose tabs beside a Wikipedia article about Manhattan's street plan.

A space for each side of your day

Personal, work, a side project. Each space keeps its own tabs, pins, folders and look, and can keep its own sign-ins, so your work account and your own never meet. Swipe two fingers across the sidebar and the whole window follows.

Two pages, one window

Drag a tab onto the edge of a page, or press ⌥⌘N, and the window splits in two. Each side has its own back, forward and reload. Drag the divider to give one side more room.

Split view in dark mode: a documentation page on the left and a dashboard on the right, each pane with its own bar. Split view in light mode: a documentation page on the left and a dashboard on the right, each pane with its own bar.

Leave the tab, keep the video

The video you were watching floats in a corner when you move to another tab, another space or another app. Skip fifteen seconds either way or change the speed from the video itself. Go back to its tab and it goes home.

Calls float too

Leave the tab during a call and the call follows you as a small window that shows only the people, with mute and camera close at hand.

A meeting alert: Atlas weekly, in 1 min, on Google Meet, with Mara and 2 others, and buttons to join or snooze. A meeting alert: Atlas weekly, in 1 min, on Google Meet, with Mara and 2 others, and buttons to join or snooze.

Meetings find you

Once Broadway can see your calendar, a card appears a minute before a meeting with Join, even when Broadway is behind other apps. The call opens in the space it belongs to.

At home on your Mac

  • It looks like the rest of your Mac The menus and controls are the Mac's own, in light and dark, with Liquid Glass on the address field, Find and the floating video.
  • Passwords stay in your keychain They are saved in the macOS keychain and shown with Touch ID.
  • Sites work the way they already do Pages run on WebKit, the web engine that comes with macOS.
A Pull Requests folder in the sidebar: seven rows with passing and failing checks, a stack of three with a draft, a change request and an approval, and dots for new activity.

Pull requests live where your tabs do

A folder in the sidebar follows the pull requests waiting on you. There is no token to paste: it reads the GitHub you are signed in to. Each row shows its checks, its review and the comments still unanswered. A merged one celebrates and leaves.

Drive it from a terminal

Switch it on in Settings and the broadway command opens pages, reads them and clicks through them, so your scripts and coding agents can use the browser you are signed in to.

Agents get a corner of their own

Let agents use Broadway and each one works in tabs of its own, folded under one Agents row at the foot of the sidebar. When one needs a yes, the row shows its question and one press takes you to the tab that asks. On the page you see where the agent is, and ⌘. takes over.

Two agents at work in Broadway, dark mode: Claude Code types into a search field under a pointer with its name, and Claude waits for an answer to a question shown at the foot of the page. At the foot of the sidebar the Agents row is unfolded: it says Claude needs you, with each agent's tabs under its name.

A brief with the first tab of the morning

Once a morning a brief arrives as a tab: today's meetings, the weather, what needs you and what you left open yesterday.
