Banquish is a Mac app that turns any website into a workspace. Pull the pieces you need onto one canvas, keep them live, and let an agent run the errands.
@thys_beesman Great questions — this is the part I'm most careful about.
The key design decision: the agent acts as you, inside your own session, not as a separate bot. It's not a headless browser or a cloud automation context — it's the same live WebView you're using and watching, so it carries your real cookies, your login, your device fingerprint, and your own IP. There's no fresh datacenter profile, which is usually the thing that gets flagged as "automated traffic" in the first place.
"living pieces of the web" is the right way to describe this - most clipping tools just take a screenshot and the source page might as well not exist anymore. does a clipped piece keep updating live if the original page changes, or is it more of a snapshot that you'd have to manually re-clip later to refresh?
@omri_ben_shoham1 Exactly that's the whole reason I built it this way. A Banquish clip isn't a screenshot. it's the real, live page, just masked down to the piece you picked. The scripts, event handlers, and your logged-in session all stay intact and running.
So if the source updates — a live dashboard, a feed, a stock ticker, a doc someone else is editing — your clipped panel updates right along with it, in real time. You never re-clip to refresh. It's still fully interactive too: scroll it, click into it, type in it.
The one time you'd re-pick is if the site itself gets restructured (a redesign that moves or removes the element you anchored to) — Banquish flags that with a staleness badge and helps you re-anchor in a couple of clicks. But that's a rare structural change, not something you do to keep content fresh.
the interesting part for me isnt clipping, its that ur basically letting ppl rebuild the web around how they think instead of how each site wants to be used. thats a pretty cool product bet.
@ishm6m Really appreciate you getting it!
Congrats to the launch! Rebuilding the web interface around personal workflows instead of forced tab structures is a huge advantage. Honestly, I can see this easily replacing half of my daily open browser windows.
Quick question on the workspace layout dynamics: Can you group or link interactions between different live panels (e.g., clicking a link or triggering an action in Panel A automatically updates or context-syncs Panel B), or is each panel strictly running in its own isolated WebView for now?
the "same live session as you, not a separate bot" design is clever for the automated-traffic problem, but it cuts the other way too - if the agent misreads a page and clicks the wrong thing, it's using your real logged-in session to do it. is there a confirm step before anything irreversible (a purchase, a send, a delete), or does "let an agent run the errands" mean it can go all the way through on its own once you kick it off?
