Small details. More control.

Choose before clicking: Alt + Q

Hold Alt + Q, move toward a browser or profile, and release to select it. Or tap the shortcut, then click a segment. The center shows the highlighted entry name and profile directory. Number keys 1–8 and Enter offer keyboard selection; Escape cancels. Change the shortcut and tap threshold in Settings → Hotkey.

Choose after clicking: Shift + click

Hold Shift while clicking an eligible link. When Windows hands it to Browter, the app holds the link and opens the wheel. Selecting a destination opens the held link immediately; cancelling sends it to fallback. Enable or disable this alternative in Settings. Links kept inside a browser or embedded viewer are covered by the known limitations.

Explore the desktop wheel and feedback

This preview uses the desktop wheel’s default geometry, translucent material, colors, typography, and highlight motion. The sample background and profile entries are examples. Choose a browser to see the wheel close and the cursor chip appear. Try Shift + click, sticky selection, timeout, and history using the controls below.

A countdown that fits your workflow

A choice stays armed for 12 seconds by default. Set the timeout anywhere from 3 to 60 seconds. A normal choice is used by the next eligible link; sticky selection keeps the same destination for additional links until expiry. A rapid double-Escape cancels an armed choice when that setting is enabled.

Cursor chip, countdown ring, and opened feedback

The cursor chip is a transparent 36-DIP indicator showing the selected browser icon beside the pointer. Its bright green ring shows the remaining selection time. Toggle the chip and ring in Settings → Feedback; the ring is visible when the chip is enabled. An optional opened notification appears near the tray for one second, and optional sound gives an audible cue.

Browser and profile entries

Discover installed browsers and supported profiles, or add a custom browser executable. Give entries recognizable names, edit launch arguments, customize their color and icon, test launches, reorder them, and choose which appear on the wheel. The wheel supports 2–16 entries and grows when more than eight are enabled; number shortcuts cover the first eight. Profile discovery does not create profiles or manage sign-ins.

Recent links: reopen, copy, or clear

Keep the last 10, 20, or 50 links, or turn Recent links Off. The default is 20. Use Recent links from the tray to reopen a link in a chosen destination, copy its address, or clear the list. Recent links are stored locally and include full addresses. Turning history Off does not disable interrupted-delivery recovery or delete logs; see the Privacy Policy.

Make the wheel yours

Adjust size, opacity, light/dark/system theme, entry names, number labels, dead zone, segment pop, opening and closing timing, stagger, and overshoot. The wheel is translucent, without desktop blur. Windows transparency and high-contrast settings can change its appearance; disabled transparency uses a solid material and high contrast disables motion.

Fallback, pause, and gaming mode

Choose an everyday fallback for ordinary links, or configure the wheel to open when nothing is armed. Pause selection from the tray. Manual and automatic gaming mode keep selection shortcuts out of the way; automatic detection uses the foreground full-screen state and can also affect non-game full-screen apps. Links keep moving through fallback. Trial expiry also retains fallback links and access to Settings.

Startup, settings, and local recovery

Control startup with Windows, export or import settings, rescan browsers, and open local diagnostics from Settings. Interrupted or uncertain deliveries have a local recovery path. Browter does not upload desktop links, history, settings, or crash reports automatically. Review diagnostics before sharing them with support.
