Nock's browser

The Web tab opens Nock’s own browser. Its pages, cookies, and sign-ins are separate from Chrome, Safari, or Edge. You can browse yourself, use it for a local preview, or ask Nock to read and interact with a page.

For actions in other desktop apps, including another browser’s window, see Computer use. Operating the desktop and using this Web tab are different routes.

Open and arrange a page

1. Open Web.
2. Enter a website or local preview address in Website or local preview URL.
3. Choose Open page.
4. Use PiP/Dock to switch between the floating window and the view under the notch. Expand widens the docked page.
5. Choose Mobile preview or Desktop preview to inspect the matching layout.

Nock remembers the last arrangement. Hover the top edge of the floating window for navigation controls. A local preview needs its development server running; a saved file and a running web server are separate things.

Ask Nock to use the page

Try “open this address in the browser,” “read this page,” or “click the pricing link.” The agent reads the current page before using its links and fields. After a page changes, it reads again so an old button reference does not act on the wrong page.

The browser supports opening pages, reading, clicks, text entry, scrolling, history, reload, and page screenshots. A screenshot here captures the browser page rather than the whole desktop. Developer tools let a worker inspect traffic, styles, assets, and console errors.

Sign in once

Sign in yourself inside Nock’s browser. Nock keeps that browser profile between runs, and eligible workers use it too. Glass Canvas web cards share the profile. Your everyday browser’s cookies are not copied into Nock.

Enter passwords and sign-in codes yourself when prompted. To clear website sessions, use Settings → Browser → Sign out of websites. Review the scope before using a wider Start fresh option.

Open Nock Social

Say “Open Nock Social”, use the left pane’s Nock Social button, or open https://social.heynock.com/ directly. Social uses its own sign-in; your Nock account does not log you in automatically. Nock can help navigate the open page when asked, but opening it does not start background monitoring of Social messages. See Nock Social.

Settings → Browser also has a collapsed phone QR card for Social. Scanning it opens the public website on the phone; it does not transfer your desktop login or install an app. Log in on the phone and choose its browser’s install or home-screen action yourself. See Use Social on your phone. This is the Social website, not a phone version of Nock desktop or a way to synchronize every local Nock chat.

Show worker pages

Show browser while working decides whether pages an agent opens for its own work appear immediately or load in the background. You can reveal them from Web. Pages you open yourself appear normally. Allowing a worker to use this browser is separate from granting an outside browser extension or Team connection.

Addresses, permissions, and data

Use HTTPS websites or a development server on this computer. The browser refuses insecure remote HTTP addresses. It does not grant sites microphone, camera, location, or notification access, and its controlled page view does not support ordinary browser downloads.

Websites receive normal page requests and any submitted data. Page text or pictures the agent reads can become model context. A sign-in gives this browser access to your account; it does not authorize every action in that account. See Task approvals and Privacy.

If the page will not open, check the address and server first, then follow Browser troubleshooting.
