## Overview
Ora is a macOS browser built with SwiftUI, AppKit, and WebKit. The project aims for a native, low-friction browsing experience without layering on unnecessary product surface area.
## Highlights
- Native macOS UI
- WebKit-based browsing
- Built-in content blocking and privacy protections
- Search engine customization
- URL suggestions and quick launcher
- Developer-focused features
## Quick Start
```bash
git clone https://github.com/the-ora/browser.git
cd browser
./scripts/setup.sh
open Ora.xcodeproj
```
The setup script installs required tooling, installs git hooks, and regenerates the Xcode project.
## Development
- Main app target: `ora`
- Project configuration is managed with `XcodeGen` in `project.yml`
- Regenerate the project after config changes with `xcodegen`
- Run tests in Xcode with `Product > Test` or via `xcodebuild test -scheme ora -destination "platform=macOS"`
