HELP / USER GUIDE
How to use neoXPR.
Everything below works in the app today. Keyboard shortcuts are in parentheses.
GETTING STARTED
How do I search?
Type in the Omnibox and press Enter. Pick the engine on the left — ⭐ Default mix blends sources. Prefixes like !code, !news and !video route the query, and anything starting with http (or looking like a domain) opens directly.
What are the three views?
Results render as ◯ Ring, ≡ Stack or ◈ Depth (relevance). Scroll or drag to move; with the browser closed, ←/→ step through tiles and Enter opens the focused one.
How do I open a page?
⤢ Expand opens a tile in a browser tab; ✕ returns to the carousel. Tabs live as real views: switch without reloads, double-click to pin, Ctrl+T / Ctrl+W to manage, Ctrl+Shift+T to restore.
SI MODE & AI
How do I ask AI about pages?
Send tiles to SI Mode with “→ to SI”, then ask in chat. Answers cite sources as [1], [2] with clickable chips underneath. “Sources” re-lists what the last answer used.
Which AI models work?
Gemini (paste a key from aistudio.google.com), any OpenAI-compatible provider from ⚙ Settings, one-click Ollama detect for fully local answers, or two-model consensus for a second opinion.
My key fails with 403. What now?
Check three things: the key starts with AIza, the “Generative Language API” is enabled in your Google Cloud project, and the model name matches (Flash 2.0 / 2.5). Use the Test button next to Save.
AGENT & AUTOMATION
What are missions?
One sentence, several steps: “mission: compare the first two tiles, then watch prices”. Acting steps ask for approval first; “stop mission” halts, “undo” reverts changes.
What are skills?
Recorded routines. Hit record in the 🛠 panel, run agent commands, stop, name it — then replay with one click or share the .aiskill.json file. Dropping files into skills/ works too.
How do watches and briefings work?
“Watch <topic>” snapshots SI pages; “check for changes” diffs them later, with desktop notifications. “Briefing” (or the ✨ button) summarizes everything new.
RESEARCH
What are task spaces?
“Plan a trip to Japan” builds a dossier: overview plus sources. Open it as a 3D board to surf it, or add all sources to SI Mode at once.
What are expedition packs?
Offline research bundles: “expedition” packs SI pages with full text, “pack with note” adds a message for the recipient, “open pack” imports. The 📖 button reads any cached copy without internet.
Does the browser remember things?
Yes, locally: “what do you remember” searches the TF-IDF memory, deleted SI items go to the archive (“restore N” brings them back), and the knowledge graph links entities across pages.
PRIVACY & TRUST
What are personas?
Isolated cookie profiles per tab — Work, Shopping, Banking. New tabs use the selected persona; move any open tab via the palette. Deleting a persona returns its tabs to Default cookies.
Where are my API keys stored?
Desktop: encrypted OS vault, never plaintext. Mobile has no vault — the 🛡 panel warns and offers session-only mode where keys vanish on reload.
What do Shield and the audit trail do?
Shield scores pages for dark patterns, price tricks and injections; “verify media” hashes what you saw and checks C2PA signatures. The 🛡 panel logs every AI action and can export/verify the tamper-evident audit chain.
How do I go fully private?
Incognito (no traces, memory session), third-party cookie kill, per-site data budgets, ad-block with per-site exceptions, and “Erase all data” in ⚙ Privacy.
EVERYDAY BROWSING
How do tabs, zoom and find work?
Tabs group by color and reopen from “Recently closed” with scroll restored. Zoom is per-site (A−/A+, Ctrl+=/-/0). Ctrl+F finds in page on desktop and searches indexed text on mobile. Ctrl+P prints, Ctrl+S saves, F12 opens DevTools.
How are bookmarks, history and downloads organized?
Bookmarks have tags, folders and HTML import/export with favicons. History groups by day with per-item delete. Downloads show progress with cancel, retry and folder reveal.
What is the focus system?
Time-per-domain analytics with a daily attention budget (warns at 80% and 100%), and an empty carousel that becomes mission control: budget status, briefing, spaces and packing shortcuts.
Can I use voice?
The 🎤 button listens: “open third”, “go back”, “open ok” and more — say “help” for the full list, “read it” to hear the last AI answer aloud.
MOBILE & BACKUP
Is there a mobile version?
The PWA (same features, iframe-based) runs at port 8081, accepts shares from other apps, and keeps keys session-only if you want.
How do backup and sync work?
⚙ System exports a password-encrypted .aibackup (AES-GCM). Import it anywhere — newer entries win per collection. No account, no server, no plaintext: secrets are scrubbed before packing.
SETTINGS
How do I open Settings?
Click ⚙ in the top bar or press Ctrl+, . Settings are grouped into Appearance, Search, AI, Browser, Privacy and System — everything applies instantly, no restart needed.
Appearance: theme, layout, language?
Dark/light theme, left (10–30%) and right (20–45%) column widths with reset, interface zoom, UI animations on/off, and Language (English/Srpski) which translates the whole interface chrome.
Search: engines and the Default mix?
Pick the default engine, point SearXNG at your base URL with a category, and fine-tune the ⭐ Default mix per source (DuckDuckGo, Brave, Bing, SearXNG on/off plus max results each). Reset restores the shipped mix.
AI: models, providers and local AI?
Choose the Gemini model and the consensus partner, toggle read-aloud. The provider list holds custom OpenAI-compatible APIs (add with name, endpoint, model, key — keys go to the OS vault). “Detect local AI” finds Ollama on localhost:11434, and “Prefer local AI” keeps all AI text on your machine when a local provider exists.
Browser: ad-block and preloading?
Master ad-block switch, predictive preloading of the likely next page, and the EasyList panel: rule/cosmetic counts, last update date and a manual ⬇ Update button (lists auto-refresh weekly).
Privacy: incognito, cookies, budgets, wipe?
Incognito mode (no traces, memory session), third-party cookie kill across all sessions, per-site data budget in MB with warnings, and “Erase all data” for a full wipe. Trust permissions (🛡) live one click away.
System: budget, backup, tour, reset?
Daily attention budget in minutes (0 = off), encrypted backup export/restore for syncing devices, replayable app tour, debug log, and Factory reset which erases everything including the vault.
