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.

1. **Install Lilo**

    Check that your Mac runs macOS 26 or later, then [install Lilo](/start/install) from the disk image or with Homebrew. It keeps itself up to date.

2. **Import from another browser**

    [Bring over](/start/import) 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.

3. **Your first five minutes**

    [Six moves](/start/first-five-minutes) that make Lilo make sense: the command bar, pinned tabs, Peek, folders, split view and Spaces.

## Already using Lilo

**[Guides](/guides/spaces-and-profiles)**

One task per page: Spaces, tabs and folders, split view, extensions, privacy, terminal tabs and AI agents.

**[Reference](/reference/keyboard-shortcuts)**

Every keyboard shortcut, setting and MCP tool, generated from the app itself.

**[About](/about/why-webkit)**

Why WebKit, what Lilo does with your data, how much energy it uses, and how agents are kept safe.

**[Troubleshooting](/guides/troubleshooting)**

Pages, extensions, imports or updates that misbehave, and how to report a bug.
