Halo docs

Install

Halo runs on Macs with Apple Silicon. Download it from halo.oxyism.com with your invite code.

1. Open the Halo .dmg from your Downloads.
2. Drag Halo into Applications.
3. Open Halo from Applications.

Bring your Arc over

On first run, Halo offers to import from Arc. Your spaces, pinned tabs, folders and favorites come over in one step, in the order you left them.

If something can't come over (notes, easels, folders nested too deep), Halo tells you how many items were left and why, right after the import.

Spaces

The dots at the bottom of the sidebar are your spaces. Click one to switch; the whole window takes on that space's colour.

Open the space menu from the space's name at the top of the sidebar to rename it, change its colour, or give it its own sign-ins, so the same site can be signed in to a different account in each space.

Keyboard

⌘T opens the command bar: search, type an address, or jump to an open tab.

⌘L edits the current address. ⌘⇧C copies the current page's link.

Extensions

Halo is built on Chromium. Click the puzzle icon at the bottom of the sidebar, then Get extensions to add anything from the Chrome Web Store. Manage lists what you have installed.

Updates

Halo updates itself. It downloads a new version in the background, checks that it's signed by us, and installs it the next time you restart. What changed in each version is on updates.oxyism.com.
