Rammax replaces heavy, duplicate-engine Electron apps with memory-governed native desktop windows powered by Apple WebKit. Run 17+ active workspaces in just 1.5 GB of RAM.
Run this command in Terminal. It automatically downloads, installs to /Applications, and launches Rammax with zero security warnings.
curl -fsSL https://rammax.vercel.app/install.sh | bash
Tested live on a 2019 13" MacBook Pro (8GB RAM, Intel Core i5 @ 1.40GHz) via macOS Activity Monitor and real kernel process working sets (`ps -eo pid,rss,command`).

Why Rammax delivers desktop-grade apps without the Electron tax.
Instead of bundling dozens of redundant Chromium browser engines, Rammax shares macOS native Apple WebKit across all windows via dynamic memory pooling.
Sign in to Google, Facebook, Apple, or Microsoft once. All workspaces share a persistent local credential vault (`~/.rammax/profiles/global_vault`), keeping you logged in permanently.
Unfocused background windows are automatically frozen, purging unrendered image caches and triggering background GC after 90 seconds of inactivity.
A native Cocoa Menu Bar widget monitors real-time physical RAM savings against Electron baselines, updating every 1.5 seconds in sync with Activity Monitor.
Each workspace opens in its own independent window with custom dock icons, Alt+Tab app switching, and native macOS spotlight integration.
Native compilation for both Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) and Intel Macs with zero emulation overhead and ultra-fast startup times (<0.4s).
Download for free with a full 14-day Pro trial. No credit card required.
Great for trying out Rammax on 2 essential workspaces.
Taxes included • Pay once, own forever. Unlimited workspaces and updates.
Every Electron app you download (Slack, Teams, Discord, Spotify) bundles its own full 150MB+ Chromium browser engine. Running 10 Electron apps means running 10 separate Chromium GPU and Network processes. Rammax replaces all of them with lean native host wrappers (~48MB each) sharing a single macOS WebKit master engine.
Browser tabs get lost among hundreds of open URLs, don't have separate macOS Dock icons, lack Alt+Tab desktop integration, and run aggressive background scripts that drain your battery. Rammax gives you true independent desktop windows with native shortcuts and active memory suspension when idle.
Yes. All authentication and session cookies are stored locally in your sandboxed directory (`~/.rammax/profiles/global_vault`) using native Apple WebKit encryption. Rammax has zero external telemetry tracking and never transmits your data to any remote server.
Yes! Rammax is built with native Universal binary support. Whether you're running a brand new M4 MacBook Pro or an Intel iMac, Rammax runs natively with zero Rosetta translation overhead.
Because Rammax is an independent release outside the Mac App Store, macOS automatically marks browser downloads with an internal quarantine tag. You can bypass this completely in two simple ways:
1. Terminal Quick Install (Recommended): Run curl -fsSL https://rammax.vercel.app/install.sh | bash in your Terminal. Terminal downloads never get quarantined, so the app opens instantly with zero warnings.
2. If you already downloaded the DMG: Run xattr -cr /Applications/Rammax.app once in Terminal to instantly strip the browser's quarantine tag.
