About

Rill is an AI-native browser built around the Claude Code and Codex you already use. Browse normally, then press ⌘E on any page to turn what you're looking at into a task for your agent. Rill finds the right project, passes along the context, and the agent works while you keep browsing. It also sorts your tabs into themes, turns your history into days you can search, and brings every project your agents are working on into one place. Free, on the plan you already have.

AI Summary

Rill Browser is an AI-native browser that integrates Claude Code and Codex, allowing users to convert web content into tasks for their AI agents with a simple command. It organizes tabs by themes, enhances searchability of browsing history, and consolidates ongoing projects into a single interface.

I made Rill because I want to always stay in the flow. As an ADHD, I never liked code-switching. My best ideas for work come when I'm supposedly not working at all: watching something for fun, reading things and following a rabbit hole, looking at how someone else solved a problem. Then when an idea hit me, I'd have to stop, switch to coding agents, find the project and explain it all, and most of the time I just didn't. Rill is my way of removing that code-switching. It's a browser with your Claude Code or Codex working alongside you. When something on a page gives you an idea, you say so right there, and an agent starts on it in the right project. You don't have to spend time looking for the right folder, rephrasing everything you just saw on the web, and you don't switch in and out of work mode. The work goes on with you in the flow. This matters now more than ever. Agents have shortened the distance between ideas to output near zero. So the bottleneck is capturing the idea at the moment you have it. That moment is nearly always while you're taking something in, and that is what a browser is for. Rill is a free AI-native browser. It's WebKit-based, which means it's native to Mac. And it runs on the Claude Code or Codex plan you already have, so you don't have to buy a new subscription for all of its agentic capabilities.c How do you keep an idea today when it shows up at the wrong time?

How is this different from Atlas, Comet or Dia? They all put AI next to the page.

What a challenge it is to launch a browser nowadays! Why did you take that bet instead of building a Chrome extension? How are people reacting to the change? All the best for the launch!

No Chrome extensions is a real cost for me, mostly the password manager. Just curious are people using this as the daily driver or as a second browser?
