Polar
Polar is a macOS web browser with built-in AI agents that can carry out multi-step work across websites and web apps.
What is Polar?
Polar is a native macOS web browser built for people who want help completing web-based work, not just viewing pages. It combines standard browsing with AI agent features that can perform multi-step tasks across websites you already use, making it relevant for research, recruiting, sales, operations, and other knowledge-work workflows. Users can give Polar a goal in natural language and let it navigate sites, gather information, and handle repetitive browser actions inside the browser environment. This makes it useful for people who spend a large part of their day moving between tabs, web tools, and online systems. Polar is published by Recursive Intelligence, Inc. and is positioned as an AI-focused browser rather than a general productivity app or cloud-only assistant.

Safety overview
Status: Use with caution
Polar is legitimate browser software, but a browser with built-in AI task automation can interact with websites, account sessions, page contents, and information you enter while it works. That level of access is closely tied to the product’s purpose, so it is important to use it thoughtfully on sensitive accounts, confidential documents, and payment or admin workflows. Review what tasks you hand off, avoid granting more site access than necessary, and sign out of accounts you do not want available to browser-based automation.
Recommendation: Keep Polar if you actively use its AI-assisted browsing and web automation features on your Mac. If you installed it only to test it or no longer want a browser with agent-style web access, you can remove it like other apps and return to your preferred browser for everyday work.
