Browser configures Traycer’s in-app browser. It sits in the Application group of Settings. Default search engine is used when you type search terms instead of a website address in the address bar. Choose Google (the default), DuckDuckGo, Bing or Kagi.

​
Browser

This group appears when there is something to show in it. Let agents use the in-app browser is on by default. Agents get Traycer’s browser as a tool and are told to use it for web pages. Turn it off to let them use their own browser tooling instead.
  • The row names the host it applies to: the active host of this window. The setting is stored on that host and covers every agent that runs there.
  • Running agents pick up a change on their next turn.
  • Turning it off doesn’t affect your own browser tabs or saved website sessions.
Detected dev origins lists the local sites you have opened from a terminal link, such as a dev server on localhost or on an explicit port. Click Remove next to one to forget it. The row appears once you have opened such a link.

​
Website Sessions

Website sessions keep you signed in to sites in Traycer’s browser. This group is in the desktop app and needs a connected host.

​
Stop Saving Sessions

Turning Save website sessions on this computer off asks you to confirm. Open browser tabs reload signed out, and this computer stops saving new session data. Sessions you already saved stay available to manage until you remove them, and turning saving back on returns to them.

​
Manage Saved Sessions

The row lists your first three sites. Click Manage all … (or View all … more sites) to open the full list:
  • Search it by site.
  • Remove one site with the button next to it.
  • Click Remove all… to remove every saved session.
Saved sessions are encrypted with your system keyring. If this computer has none, they stay locked and nothing new is saved.

Bring In Sign-Ins From Another Browser

1

Choose a source

Click Choose source…. Traycer lists the browser profiles it finds on this computer, grouped by browser with the most recently used first. It looks for Google Chrome, Chromium, Microsoft Edge, Brave, Arc, Vivaldi, Opera, Aside, Helium, Firefox and Safari. To use an exported cookie file instead, click Import from a file….
2

Choose sites

Traycer lists the sites that profile has sign-ins for, all selected. Use Filter sites, Select all and Select none to narrow the list. Nothing is imported until you confirm. A site already signed in inside Traycer is replaced by the imported sign-in.
3

Import

Click Import N sites. On macOS, macOS asks whether “security” may read the browser’s key from your keychain; allow it to continue. On Linux, your keyring may ask to be unlocked. Traycer then shows how many sites it imported.
Google accounts are left out by default, because Google binds sign-ins to the device they were made on. An imported Google sign-in can stop working at any time, and may sign you out of Google in the browser it came from. Turn on Import Google logins anyway to include them, or sign in to Google inside Traycer once instead.
On Windows, some sign-ins are protected by the browser and can’t be imported. Traycer says how many; export them with a cookie extension and import the file, or sign in once inside Traycer.

​
Browser Placement

Open browser tabs sets where a browser tab opens: Changing this row gives browser tabs their own placement, separate from the other tiles in Opening behavior. Windows too narrow for a split always open browser tabs in the current pane.

​
Agent-Opened Tabs

Agent-opened tabs decides what happens to a tab an agent opens while it drives a browser session: Tabs a web page opens, including links you click in it, always open as browser tiles.

​
Modifier Clicks

Shift-click opens a tile in a split, and middle-click opens it in the background.
