Tyler

A browser that tiles pages the way tmux tiles terminals. Every window is one tree of tabs, splits and more tabs, to any depth; every leaf is a native WebKit view that survives being moved, zoomed or tabbed away. A Control-A leader drives it from the keyboard.

Four panes in one tab. The amber ring is the focus halo; it glides to whichever tile has the keyboard.

Tabs inside splits inside tabs

A split's child can be a single page or a group of tabs with its own strip, and each of those tabs can split again. Layout presets rearrange the active tab as a grid, columns, rows, a main pane beside a stack, or a spiral; dividers drag, and ⌃a = evens them out.

Panes keep a stable identity, so none of this reloads a page. ⌃a z zooms the focused pane edge to edge with no chrome at all, and the address field opens over it rather than pushing it down.

Tyler with its tab tree pinned as a floating glass panel at the left, listing a window tab with four panes and two more tabs, beside the tiled panes. — The tab tree, pinned. It can also hide itself until the pointer reaches the window's edge.

Driven from the keyboard

`⌃a` `\|` · `⌃a` `S`	Split right · split down
`⌃a` `hjkl`	Move focus; `HJKL` grows the pane
`⌃a` `␣`	Next layout preset
`⌃a` `z`	Zoom the pane, chrome-free
`⌃a` `a`	Send a real Control-A to the page
`⌘K` · `⌘L` · `⇧⌘L`	Commands · address · tab tree
`⌃⇥` · `⌘1`…`⌘9`	Cycle tabs · pick a window tab

The leader map over a light page: shortcuts grouped into Panes, Tabs, Layout and Tyler columns, each as keycaps. — Pressing `⌃a` and waiting shows the whole map.

The command palette with sections for remote desktops and commands, each row with an icon and its shortcut as keycaps. — The palette lists every command with its shortcut.

What a pane can be

Its own resolution. A pane can lay out at its tile's size, a fixed size, a capped short edge or a scale factor, and resizes in place without reloading.
Its own profile. Named profiles keep separate cookies and storage, so two panes can be signed in to the same site as different people.
Frozen when hidden. A resource saver can stop rendering panes you are not looking at and resume them on focus.
A remote desktop. Windows App web-client desktops open as panes; a whole registry of them can open as one grid.
Saved. A tab's layout saves as a workspace and reopens in any window.
Native. Share, Copy Link, Handoff, a Dock menu and Services, as in any Mac app.

Nine remote-desktop panes tiled three by three, each showing a desktop with a terminal window; the centre pane has the focus halo. — Nine desktops in one tab, each rendering at 1920 × 1080 and scaled into its tile.

One theme for everything

Accent, tint, glass (Clear, Liquid or Solid), backdrop, light or dark, density, corner radius and the focus style live in one theme in Tyler's settings file, with nine presets. Reduce Transparency switches the glass to solid surfaces, and Reduce Motion stops the halo's glide.

These screenshots are Tyler's own offscreen renders of synthetic pages. Offscreen capture cannot draw Liquid Glass, so glass appears as a flat translucent fill.
