Aph repackages Firefox into a workspace-driven browser for people who separate work, research, and personal browsing. Nine switchable workspaces, container bindings, and a command palette keep sessions structured without extensions.
The browser archives idle tabs automatically, restores them with their container and workspace intact, and organizes links into two-level tree tabs. Starred tabs and tab unloading control memory and keep essential pages available during long sessions.
Aph ships for Linux as AppImage and Flatpak and for Windows as an installer or portable ZIP. Privacy defaults disable telemetry and experimentation, profile data stays isolated, and the project is licensed under MPL-2.0 as an unsigned beta.
