Gobsworth & small absurdities

Browser skins

Create or import your own browser skin

Your skinsSkin name

Skins sync with settings and travel in profile exports. CSS imports read supported color variables, such as --chrome: #e3eae7;. Website pages keep their own styles.

Account & automatic sync

Optional sync keeps destinations, browser settings and all Home Port customization across devices. Cookies, passwords, history, notes and reports stay local. Profiles are stored on Hamelton Software’s server over HTTPS, without end-to-end encryption.

Changes upload shortly after saving; other devices check every 30 seconds. Offline changes remain local. Signing out keeps your profile. Manage device sessions and account deletion on the account website.

Home Port has blocks, themes, backgrounds, CSS editing and portable profiles. Use Customize Home Port on the page. Appearance reset preserves your blocks.

Bookmark a website to add it to your personal home port. Your journeys and notes stay on this computer.

Developer reference

Build websites for Chromium, or work on Wayfarer's trusted browser interface.

Website compatibility

Standard HTML, CSS, and JavaScript run in an isolated Chromium view. Use feature detection and responsive layouts: the sidebar changes the available viewport.

const supported = 'ResizeObserver' in window;
const width = document.documentElement.clientWidth;

Remote pages have no Node.js or Wayfarer bridge access. Camera, microphone, geolocation and other permission requests are currently denied. Chrome extension installation and a public Wayfarer plugin API are not implemented.

Source layout

main.js owns windows, tabs and IPC. preload.js exposes the trusted shell bridge. renderer.js controls browser UI. library.js stores notes, journeys, history and preferences.
