Optics, briefly

A sunbeam’s short trip

Why is the sky blue? Sunlight scatters off air molecules, and shorter wavelengths scatter the most — an effect called Rayleigh scattering. A Japanese textbook puts it this way: 青い光は波長が短いため、赤い光よりも強く散乱されます。

Full-featured, or as minimal as you like

Shortcuts, bookmarks, and a clock, all on hand. When it’s time to focus, one command leaves just the search box.

  • Hundreds of bookmarks, zero digging

    Three layouts keep hundreds of bookmarks within reach.

  • Your go-to sites, one click away

    Daily sites sit under the search box and magnify like the Dock.

  • The time, right where you look

    A clock sits right above the search box, seconds optional.

  • Just the search box, when you need to focus

    Type /zen to tuck everything else away. Type it again to restore.

Small things that add up.

Each one has its own switch. Keep only what you use.

Built with our users, polished in every detail.

Questions, answered.

What is the default shortcut? Can I change it?

⌘⇧K on Mac and Ctrl + Shift + K on Windows by default. You can change it at chrome://extensions/shortcuts. In Firefox, it’s ⌃⇧K on Mac and Alt + K on Windows and Linux; change it from the gear menu in about:addons under Manage Extension Shortcuts.

Which browsers are supported?

Chromium browsers that install Chrome extensions, including Chrome, Edge, Dia, Brave, and Vivaldi, plus Firefox 140 or later and Firefox-based browsers like Zen. Safari isn’t supported yet. In Dia, you get the command bar but not Lumno’s new tab.

How is the Firefox version different?

The main features match the Chrome version. Install it from Firefox Add-ons, including in Firefox-based browsers like Zen and LibreWolf. Firefox’s limits mean Web Clip and Auto Picture-in-Picture aren’t available, and the command bar can’t open on about: pages, the add-ons site, or local files.

I’m moving from Arc. Will this feel familiar?

That’s the idea. Lumno borrows from Arc’s interactions (it isn’t affiliated with Arc), so in Dia, Chrome, or Edge you can still call up the command bar anytime, search everything in one place, and switch fast. Set the shortcut to ⌘T for the Arc feel you know.

Can I keep my current new tab and just use the command bar?

Yes. Leave Lumno on, then reinstall your other new tab extension so it takes the new tab back. The command bar isn’t affected.

Why does the address bar show an extension URL on a new tab?

That comes from “Automatically focus input”: to put your cursor straight into Lumno’s search box, the address bar shows the extension URL. Turn it off in the new tab’s appearance settings and the address bar stays empty.

Why doesn’t the command bar match my system’s light or dark mode?

In Follow system mode, the command bar also takes cues from the current page’s colors. To follow only your system, turn off “Adapt theme colors to each webpage” under Settings › Appearance.

Why doesn’t the command bar open on some pages?

Browsers block extensions on restricted pages like chrome:// settings and the Web Store, so Lumno opens search in a new tab. For local PDF and HTML files, turn on “Allow access to file URLs” on the extension’s details page.

Can I sync my settings across devices?

Yes. Settings sync through your browser account by default. Turn on WebDAV (Nutstore or your own server) to also sync icons and wallpapers between different browsers.

Does Lumno upload my browsing data?

No. Tabs, bookmarks, and history are searched locally. Only when you run a web or AI search is what you type sent to the search engine or AI site you picked.

Is Lumno free?

Completely, and it’s open source under GPL-3.0 on GitHub.
