06 / Native by experience
Built by Mac
and iPhone builders.
Portal comes from the creator of Homebrew and longtime Mac and iPhone app builders. We built the details we expect when we sit down at a Mac or pick up a phone.
Closed tabs come back.
Close one with ⌘W. Reopen it with ⌘⇧T, even after relaunching Portal.
The Edit menu works.
Cut, copy, paste, select all, and history search use the Mac shortcuts already in your hands.
The keyboard makes room.
Show or dismiss it without leaving your session. Completions appear as you type.
