Hi everyone, Surfdeck is now live!
Surfdeck puts your favorite websites right where you can reach them: in your Mac’s menu bar.
I built Surfdeck because I was tired of constantly switching to a browser, hunting through tabs, and losing focus just to check the handful of sites I use throughout the day.
With Surfdeck, those sites are always one click away.
✨ What you can do with Surfdeck:
- Open your favorite sites instantly from the menu bar
- Split a tab into resizable side-by-side pages
- Give sites custom icons so they’re easy to spot
- Show, reveal, or completely hide the address bar
- Keep web apps accessible without adding more windows to your desktop
Surfdeck is a native Mac app, designed to feel at home on macOS rather than like another browser competing for your attention.
Today, Surfdeck is officially available.
I’d love for you to try it, and I’d especially love to hear what sites you end up keeping in your Surfdeck.
Thanks for checking it out! 🏄

Congratulations on the launch! Is this for people who want something faster than browser tabs?)
@natalia_iankovych In terms of accessing your frequently used pages fast, yes. It puts your websites in your Mac's menubar so you can open the tabs with a click and hide them away just as easily.

you asked what sites people end up keeping in there - mine would be our Dial dashboard, our team's shared doc, and Linear, exactly the "check it 10 times a day but don't need a full window for it" category. Question on the split side-by-side view though: does that work for sites that set X-Frame-Options or a strict CSP (a lot of internal tools and banking-style dashboards do), or does it fall back to a normal single tab for those?
@galdayan thank you for your comment Gal. I haven't tested it for the condition, I will look it up and see if it's doable. Thanks for the idea!

@thednzozcan makes sense, worth checking since it's exactly the kind of site that ends up in the "keep it pinned" list once someone's using it daily. good luck with the launch!

@ritik_jain15 Thank you for sharing Ritik, it should be fixed now, can you try again?
Congrats on the launch! Love this concept. UX is very intuitive overall - and saves a lot of time haha
And HN would definitely be one of my go-to sites
