Welcome to spatial computing.
Control Vela programmatically with a powerful REST API and real-time WebSocket events. Manage tabs, windows, profiles, fingerprints, and every browser setting from any language or tool.
Save, autofill, and generate strong passwords — synced across all your Apple devices via iCloud Keychain. Protected with Face ID and Touch ID.
Run separate browsing identities with fully isolated cookies, storage, and fingerprints. Each profile gets its own proxy, user agent, persistent fingerprint, and session cookies. Import cookies from other browsers and they load automatically. Open profiles in new tabs or new windows — perfect for managing multiple accounts.
Block trackers, ads, and fingerprinting attempts. Vela's HTTPS-First mode automatically upgrades insecure connections. Fingerprint protection randomizes detection vectors to reduce tracking.
From minimal to vibrant. Dark, light, and colorful themes that transform the entire browser — toolbar, tabs, buttons, and even web page accents. Including Liquid Glass with transparency and blur.
Appear as any device or browser on the web. Choose from iPhones, iPads, Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, desktop browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera, Brave, Vivaldi, and Arc — or even bot user agents for testing. Each profile can have its own user agent.
Choose from 9 DNS providers with automatic latency probing to find the fastest one. Assign per-profile proxy configurations and DNS providers. Full control over how each browsing session connects to the internet.
No extensions needed. Everything is native, fast, and integrated.

Autofill, save prompts, password generator, biometric lock, and iCloud Keychain sync across all your Apple devices.
Block ads, trackers, and pop-ups with the built-in content blocker. Keeps pages clean and loading fast.

Full browsing history with favicon icons, grouped by day, searchable, and accessible from the menu bar with quick access to recent sites.
Print any page or share it via macOS share sheet. Right-click on links to open in new tab. All accessible from the menu bar.

Defend against Canvas, WebGL, and AudioContext fingerprinting. Each profile gets a unique persistent fingerprint that you can regenerate anytime.
Track and visualize URL redirect chains in real time. See every hop a link takes before reaching its destination. Cmd+Shift+R to open.
Toolbar widget showing page load speed in ms/s with color-coded badges. Click for a detailed Navigation Timing breakdown — DNS, connect, TTFB, DOM parse, and render phases as a bar chart.
Mute audio on any tab with a single click. Quickly silence noisy pages without closing them.
Native Swift + WebKit performance. Under 19MB download size. Instant tab switching with optimized memory usage.
