everyday browsing.
What is the difference between a space and a profile?
A space organises tabs for a project or part of your day. A profile separates website data such as cookies and sign-ins. Each profile can contain multiple spaces.
Can I choose where my tabs go?
Yes. Terrava has a horizontal layout with tabs across the top and a sidebar layout. It also supports split view for 2 pages in the same window.
What happens when a tab sleeps?
Its live web view is released and its address stays in the tab. Returning reloads the page. Unsaved form input, scroll position and other in-page state are not restored.
Is Clean Up Tabs the same as automatic archive?
No. Clean Up Tabs closes duplicate URLs and blank tabs in the current space, with an undo for the most recent cleanup in the same session. Automatic archive moves untouched tabs out of a space after your chosen interval and keeps them in the archive.
privacy and data.
Do I need a Terrava account?
No. The current app stores your browser setup locally and does not require a Terrava account. Cloud sync is not available.
Does private browsing make me anonymous?
No. A private profile uses a nonpersistent website data store, but websites and your network can still see your connections. Files you deliberately download remain on your Mac.
Does content blocking stop every tracker?
No. Terrava uses bundled local rules with Off, Standard and Strict settings. Only matching requests are blocked. You can add site exceptions per profile.
Is Terrava based on Chromium?
No. Terrava uses Apple’s WebKit to render web pages, with a native macOS interface built using SwiftUI and AppKit.
