Terminal use case

terminal with native browser preview

YEN's browser preview is for developers who jump between terminal commands, local dev servers, docs, and web pages all day.

Use this page if context switching between a shell and browser is the workflow cost you are trying to reduce.

Decision points

Every point here is either tied to YEN docs or framed as a workflow distinction from official product positioning.

`yen web`, Browser, and Browser Split can target localhost, loopback, docs, and HTTPS pages from terminal context.

YEN uses WebKit for the preview and does not bundle a separate browser runtime.

Terminal link capture is default-off and explicit-activation-only in the documented browser workflow.

This page avoids benchmark, pricing, and availability claims unless a current official source supports them.
