EROSOLAR

Helia The Erosolar browser

Helia is an Electron + Chromium AI browser. The Erosolar agent lives in a side panel with full page context and action automation — but only when you invoke it. The URL bar still searches. The back button still works. Helia replaces ChatGPT Atlas on every operating system Atlas isn't on, with the user back in the driver's seat.

⬇ Download for Apple Silicon (M1 / M2 / M3 / M4) ⬇ Download for Intel Mac
macOS install — pick the zip matching your Mac (Apple Silicon = M-series, Intel = older Macs). The build is currently unsigned, so the first launch needs a one-time GateKeeper bypass:
  1. Unzip the download → drag Helia.app into Applications.
  2. In Finder, locate /Applications/Helia.app, right-click → Open (the regular double-click will be blocked).
  3. The dialog will say "Apple cannot check it for malicious software." Click Open.
  4. From now on, Helia launches normally from Spotlight or the Dock.
  5. If macOS still refuses (newer versions sometimes hide the right-click bypass), open Terminal and run: xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Helia.app — then double-click as normal.

What it does

Side-panel Erosolar

Erosolar chat lives in a collapsible right panel. Toggle "Use current page" and your question goes to the model with the page's text + headings as context.

Same brain everywhere

Sign into ero.solar in the page area; your memory, balance, model selection, and chat history are account-wide across the CLI, the web, and Helia itself.

Full Chromium

Uses Electron's WebContentsView for the page area, so any site that renders in Chromium renders here. The chrome UI (tabs, address bar) is its own renderer; the page is sandboxed.

Action automation (preview)

The IPC scaffolding for click/fill/scroll/navigate is wired through to the main process. Real automation lands behind the Chrome DevTools Protocol; the entry points are stubs in this scaffold.

macOS today

Apple Silicon and Intel Mac builds available now. Windows and Linux builds will follow once the action-automation surface lands.

Helia replaces Atlas — user-first, on every OS

OpenAI built ChatGPT Atlas as a vehicle for OpenAI's own services. By default it disables a working URL search and pushes users into a ChatGPT prompt instead — a self-serving funnel that's actively user-hostile when you just want to navigate the web. Helia keeps every behaviour a real browser owes its user: the URL bar searches, the back button works, links go where they say, and the address bar isn't a sales channel. The Erosolar agent rides alongside in a side panel — Atlas-shaped page-aware action automation — but only when the user invokes it, and powered by DeepSeek-V4-Pro behind the same Erosolar account that funds the CLI and the web surface.

Helia ships on macOS today; Windows and Linux land once action automation is stable. The bet is parity with the proprietary surfaces of mainstream browsers — minus the Chrome features that are Google-specific lock-in (Cast / Pay / Lens / Workspace funnels) — plus the Atlas-style agent panel, on every platform Atlas isn't on.
