Lilo documentation
Learn Lilo, the macOS browser built on WebKit, by what you want to do, from installing it and importing your browser to connecting your AI agents.
Lilo is a free, open-source browser for macOS, built on the WebKit engine that ships with your Mac. These pages show how to get it running, how to work with it day to day, and how it behaves underneath. They describe Lilo 0.21.0.
New to Lilo
Three short pages, read in order, take you from the download to a browser set up your way.
Install Lilo
Check that your Mac runs macOS 26 or later, then install Lilo from the disk image or with Homebrew. It keeps itself up to date.
Import from another browser
Bring over your bookmarks, open tabs, history and sign-ins from Safari, Chrome, Arc, Firefox and others, and your extensions from Chrome and the other Chromium-based browsers. Passwords stay in your password manager.
