Hey Product Hunt 👋 @mahyad, @aliatttar, and @sauravmitra here – we’re back for another launch! SigmaOS Airis is a whole new way to experience the internet; maybe a smarter way! 8 months ago, we released the MVP version of Airis and were blown away by the overwhelming love from everyone. Today, we’re excited to launch SigmaOS Airis Alpha 😻 Can’t wait for all of you give these 5 amazing Airis features a try: 🧭 Look it up Got a question, an idea, a thought?

I would never switch from Coke to Pepsi. Or to Adidas from Nike. Or from Apple to Samsung. But… I did switch from Arc to SigmaOS. I found it back in 2021, flipped back to Chrome and then ended up using Arc for almost a year. However, I fell out of love with UI of having all my apps in one browser. It’s clunky and Notion works better as a desktop app. So after a brief stint with Safari, which continues to lack advanced browser features, I decided to give SigmaOS another try about a month ago. Now, I’m a happy user! It’s a great browser specifically for browsing and I continue using most of my apps as desktop apps. Admitedly, I’m not so keen on Airis features but I love separate workspaces and intented tab, and the new lazy search. If you’re using Safari or Opera (why?) I would drop everything and give SigmaOS a try. If you’re using Chrome/Firefox with a lot of niche extensions, give a try but not all extensions may work. Lastly, if you’re using Arc, I’d encourage you give SigmaOS a try like I did. The products (not the storytelling) are nearly equally good and it comes down to preferences that are worth exploring!

Congrats on the launch @mahyad and Team Sigma. 🚀 I wholeheartedly thank you for making a great alternative ❤ to Chrome, whose overwhelming dominance is not good for users like us. What would you say is Sigma's unique value pop or differentiation? What you're doing with Airis is smart! Thanks to ChatGPT and the plethora of AI tools, we're all being retrained in how give instructions and ask for help. And you're tapping into this new habit. Great work, Team Sigma!

Wow what a great new user experience. Tabs as tasks is a super neat idea. I think this will be great for my sanity.

I'm a pretty big Arc fanboy at this point. Can anyone that's used Arc recently and SigmaOS tell me which one has the edge and why? What are the key differences?

As y’all are well aware I am a massive fanboy of SigmaOS. It was and still is time to revisit how the browser works, and your thesis and continued iterations have hit the mark for me. Congrats on the Alpha launch of Airis and - keep shipping!!!

After switching away for a while I've been back to using SigmaOS as my primary browser for a few months and I'm so happy to be back. It offers a lot of extra features that make it a better choice for me than alternatives but the real selling point for me is how responsive the developers are. They respond to questions and have both added features I've asked for as well as fixing bugs I've mentioned. One of the key things for me is that while they take a new approach to a lot things, like hotkeys, they also offer settings to let me work the way I work, they haven't designed an app that tells me they know better than me like a certain other browser. I've also gone through the vertical tabs and multiple spaces thing on almost every browser I can find and while Vivaldi, Edge, Safari and Arc all take approaches I like none of them are as flexible and complete as Sigma. I love that I can have two dozen spaces open, each with recognizable icons and features like pretty reliably being able to find a tab I already have open somewhere without ending up with nearly as many duplicate tabs. Whether through search or snappy keyboard shortcuts I can easily move between tabs and workspaces without ever touching my mouse. Now with disposable workspaces this workflow is even faster and more convenient. There are things I hope they improve, I really want actual folders in addition to subpages and would especially appreciate support for nesting them. I miss having a tab switcher to navigate the last two or three tabs I was in that's faster than searching. I also want support for more extensions but I know they're working on or plan to incorporate these features or something similar because they actually give a shit about what users want and talk to you when you have feedback. Airis is also on point and as good as any other AI browser tool I've used. I'm not sure I'd call SigmaOS the most shiny browser with all the UI bling but it's unquestionably the most productive, at least for me and my workflow.

I've been using SigmaOS with the original version of Airis for many months now and helped the small team (but don't let the numbers fool you, they're hyper-productive, they're dynamite) with other volunteers over at SigmaOS Slack. To see what a team of 4-5 staff can do in such a short time is really inspiring. 🙌 The SigmaOS helps me manage my daily tasks and it's doing it so well, that I've switched from both Chrome for work and from Vivaldi, used privately, to Sigma. The streamlined interface and the great UX, are certainly great help. But, one-letter shortcuts, that's mind-blowing. 🤯 I'm happy to see that they're extending their premium offering to the free users as well. 👌 I'm not a zealot, I'm not loyal to a brand, brands are there for profit, and my choice of one brand or the other will not change or impact them at the slightest. So I use them as long as it benefits me. But with SigmaOS, I've seen them catering successfully and swiftly to the user needs, so it's impossible but to feel like a stakeholder in SigmaOS with every passing day. And, their optional subscription model, which makes them afloat, is the best way forward. So, it's not a brand, it's a group of patient and dedicated people you met online, who are working on an idea you like, solving a problem you have. 🙏

Congrats @mahyad, @aliatttar, and @sauravmitra on the launch! 🚀 I started using SigmaOS very early on in their journey, and it's refreshing to see a browser that thinks differently about web navigation. The 'Look it up' feature simplifies searching in general, while the ability to 'Ask anything about any website' and 'Pinch for an interactive summary' adds a new layer to browsing. It’s streamlined and intuitive, making information gathering a breeze. Now that they're enabling more AI features, I can't wait to see how it's all going to unfold! If like me you spend 95%+ of your work time in a browser, start challenging your old browser habits & start 10x-ing your workflow by giving this great product a shot!

Congrats on the launch! The new UX and flow are amazing in comparison to anything else on the market!

Congratz on the new launch! Using Sigma OS for free, game changer as a student! love the workspace function!

A real PINCH ME moment! You had me at hello. And again with pinch. I absolutely love this product, the team, and the vision. Airis Alpha should be a complete game changer and cannot wait to report back on more use cases.

Nice, promising product but I can't appreciate it that I can't finish the setup properly without accepting Sigma OS as the default browser!

SigmaOS is my fav browser & the team is always shipping updates which is making it better to use every week. Great team.

Congrats on the new launch. UX and flow is amazing waiting for my Personal Pro For Free to try it out until Alpha lasts;)

SigmaOS is incredible. If you’ve used Arc, it combines the great features and design of Arc (even better, IMO) with the speed and usability of Safari. I’ve been testing Airis for a couple hours - and it’s brilliant! Do give this browser a try.

Amazing bit of kit, really enjoy working on this browser! Looking forward to taking the new update for a spin =P
