We recently introduced some new QoL features, including...
✓ Compact Mode following your mouse after leaving the window, so the sidebar stays open
✓ an easier way of moving the browser window by dragging empty space in the top of a site, and
✓ multiple media controls in the sidebar
You can find all this in our latest release!

Happy Zen Day! 🎉 Two Years of Zen.
This past year, we've crossed 500k weekly downloads and 40k GitHub stars. We delivered on highly anticipated features like Live Folders, Space Routing and Boosts. And in the coming year, we have plans to continue this run starting with Sync followed by Library, performance improvements and much more!
All this wouldn't be possible without you, so thank you for being such a passionate community! 🧡💚

We noticed a rising interest regarding the use of AI in browsers. To be clear about our position on this: Zen currently is disabling all AI features included in Firefox and will continue to do so.

2025-07-12 21:29:15 UTC

🎉 One year of Zen.
A huge thank you to our open-source community for being part of the journey.
Year two will be even bigger with Control Flow, Folders, and lots of powerful new features on the way.
We're just getting started!

Little update:
Binary downloads for 1.13.2b are available again on the website.
**Auto updates** are still **NOT available** since the update-server is still down.

2025-06-18 17:34:57 UTC

Due to an automatic flag by GitHub, Zen's repo is currently inaccessible, which also effects documentation and downloads. There is no code loss and we are actively working to resolve this issue.
We will post another update as soon as the flag is removed and the page is up again.

Hello! We received some unpleasant news about our old instance, which resulted in this move to a new instance. But don't you worry — besides that, everything stays the same. 😸
