Vento

Release notes

What changed.

Short and honest. We do not write "soon" for things that do not exist.

0.1.0

September 2026 · pre-alpha

New shell

  • A fully custom interface on top of Firefox's engine (Gecko): tabs, smart bar, session restore.
  • Find in page (⌘F), downloads panel, printing (⌘P, incl. PDF), reopen closed tab (⌘⇧T).
  • Site permissions: camera, microphone, location, notifications. Page dialogs in Vento's design.
  • Tab icons, context menu, file picker, HTTP authentication, certificate error page.
  • Turkish and English interface; language choice on first launch.
  • Search engine choice: DuckDuckGo (default) or Google, in the Customize panel.
  • Bookmarks (⌘D, a star in the toolbar, the Bookmarks menu) and frequent sites on the start screen; all kept on this Mac only.
  • A first-launch welcome: language, Esin and automatic-update choices; all changeable later in the Customize panel.
  • Built-in update machinery (MAR signature verified), release notes after an update.

Esin

  • A panel that reads the page and answers questions; several tabs can be attached.
  • Default model greenpt/gpt-oss-120b-eu through LLMTR; requests pass through Vento's proxy. Qwen models can be chosen in the Customize panel, with a note about provider logging.
  • Daily allowance: 30 questions per person per day (renews at 00:00 Turkey time); the panel shows what is left and, once used up, when it renews.
  • LLMTR's official logo and a thank-you note in the panel.

Look

  • A motion system (respects reduced motion), the Ebabil mascot, wallpapers and a "Customize" panel.

Known gaps

  • No password manager, extensions UI, accounts or sync.
  • Automatic updating is built in and can be turned off, but no update has been published on the server for this first release yet. Until then, new versions are downloaded from this site.
  • macOS only (Apple Silicon build).
