I started it, because I was dissatisfied with Arc and wanted something that helped my workflow more and was faster. Amethyst is currently pre-release, so there are many planned features missing and bugs may occur.

Custom builds, if you and/or your business have special needs are also possible. If thats something you're interested in, please also reach out to me.
Amethyst is not open to code contributions at this time. The codebase is complex and tightly coupled to platform-specific infrastructure which makes outside contributions impractical to review and maintain.
Bug reports and feature requests are welcome Please create an issue on amethystsoft/browser on GitHub for bug reports or Featurebase for feature requests.
