Manaby packs a lot of features into a clean interface. Here’s everything you can do with it.

Command Palette

Shortcut: Cmd+L (Mac) / Ctrl+L (Windows/Linux)

The command palette is the fastest way to do anything in Manaby. Inspired by Raycast and VS Code, it’s a single input that handles:

• Navigation – Type a URL or search query
• Tab switching – Type the name of an open tab to jump to it
• Settings – Access any setting directly
• Search engines – Type ddg for DuckDuckGo, g for Google, etc.

The palette learns from your behavior and surfaces suggestions based on your history.

Split View

Shortcuts:

• Cmd+\ – Split current tab to the right
• Cmd+Shift+\ – Split current tab below
• Drag a tab to the edge of the window to create a split

Work with up to 4 pages simultaneously in a single window. Each split group:

• Has independent tabs
• Can be resized by dragging the separator
• Maintains its own focus state
• Supports all the same features as a regular window

Use cases:

• Compare documentation while coding
• Watch a video while taking notes
• Reference one page while filling out a form
• Keep chat open while browsing

Zen Mode

Shortcut: Cmd+Shift+S (Mac) / Alt+Shift+S (Windows/Linux)

Zen mode removes everything except the content. No tabs. No toolbar. No distractions.

In Zen mode:

• The page fills the entire window
• Navigation happens via keyboard shortcuts
• A subtle gradient indicates which split is focused (in split view)
• Press the same shortcut to exit

Perfect for reading long articles, writing, or when you need to focus completely.

Themes

Access: Command palette → type “theme” or Settings → Appearance

Nine carefully chosen themes:

Theme	Description
Dark	Default. Clean, neutral dark mode
Light	Bright and clean for daytime use
Nord	Cool blue-grey palette from the Arctic
Dracula	Popular purple-based dark theme
Tokyo Night	Soft, neon-inspired aesthetic
Catppuccin	Pastel, soothing dark theme
Monokai	Classic warm dark theme from Sublime
Ayu	Minimal and modern
Solarized	The original low-contrast theme

Themes change instantly—no reload needed.

Built-in Ad Blocker

Powered by: Ghostery Adblocker

Ads and trackers are blocked by default. The shield icon in the address bar shows the status:

• Shield full – Protection active
• Shield empty – Site whitelisted

Click the shield to:

• See what’s being blocked
• Whitelist the current site
• Access blocker settings

You can whitelist sites you want to support while keeping protection everywhere else.

Password Manager

Access: Command palette → type “passwords” or Settings → Passwords

A local-only password manager:

• Master password – Encrypt all your passwords with a single key
• Autofill – Automatically fill login forms
• No sync – Your passwords never leave your machine
• Import – Bring passwords from other browsers

The password manager uses AES encryption. Without the master password, the stored data is unreadable.

Search Engines

Access: Settings → Search

Choose your default search engine:

• Google
• DuckDuckGo
• Brave Search
• Bing
• Yahoo
• Ecosia
• Startpage

You can also use keywords to search with a specific engine:

Keyword	Engine
g	Google
ddg	DuckDuckGo
b	Brave
bing	Bing

Example: Type ddg privacy browser to search DuckDuckGo for “privacy browser”.
