Description
Thravik is a native Mac browser on system WebKit, not Chromium. Its headline feature is Private Memory: it keeps the text of pages you actually read, encrypted on your Mac, so days later you can press ⌘K, type "Remember…" and find the page in your own words, with sources. Also: Spaces with their own tabs and logins, Split View (up to 4 pages), Focus Mode, tab hibernation, and on-device Ask Page with Apple Intelligence. Mac only, macOS 26 or later.

Could you build this?
Partial Wrapping WebKit in a native macOS app is feasible, but building an efficient, encrypted local semantic memory system that extracts clean full-text content in the background without degrading browsing performance requires advanced native systems programming.
What it would actually take: The app requires Swift/AppKit with WKWebView, paired with an on-device text extraction pipeline (Readability-style DOM stripping), an embedded vector/embedding model (like CoreML or sqlite-vec), and local encryption (Apple Keychain / CryptoKit). Tuning background indexing to prevent memory leaks and UI stutter while handling multi-tab state and full-text/semantic search across web history requires deep macOS systems and database optimization.
